Zombie Apocalypse Redux

Hope 2011 is going well so far for everyone.

Continuing our retrospective of my favorite strips of 2010, this one had me when I saw the image of General Washington, knife clenched firmly in his teeth, swimming across the Delaware. He looks like a badass!

I had to point out this strip because I was so proud of the way Dave so perfectly rendered the Nazi Moon Troopers from my script. They're a blend of Moonraker goons, Imperial Stormtroopers, and Nazi...er...sturmabteilung.

We weren't sure if we were going to keep the camel as an ongoing character but this strip decided it for us. The camel's reactions, from "Hey guys! I'm here!" to "Guys? Guys??" and finally "Really?", are what cemented its character in our minds and hearts.

And, finally, I'm with Dave on this: panel two is the best image of Dee ever created for the Squishy strips.

That's it for now. See you on Friday for more favorites from 2010!
