thumbsup:thumbsup I would absolutely love to hear Daryl tell him to oink like a piggy:lol
It's "squeal like a pig."
That, or "You got a pretty mouth." (but most people who haven't seen Deliverance would think it's a Zombieland reference)

Walking Dead isn't about how it started, it's about how people manage after it's over. And yes, they already said it's world wide.

Yeah, the CDC doc said that France was one of the last places to be holding out.
As for winter in a zombie apocalypse, it seems reasonable to me that the zombies, not having a circulatory system, would freeze solid when the weather got cold enough. It probably wouldn't kill them - they'd thaw in the spring - but in the meantime they'd be sitting ducks for the survivors. If so, then getting out of the South would seem prudent.

Actually, this is addressed in the comics. At the end of Vol. 1, it was already near Winter. In Vol. 2, it had already begun to snow. At one of the spots where the group stopped, they discovered a couple of dead bodies in the snow. When they investigated them, it turned out they were Walkers who were frozen stiff and still alive. So, it's safe to say that any Walkers outside during the winter would freeze (depending on where in the country it is, of course), and would end up thawing out the following spring. It's actually quite scary if you think about it. That means you'd be able to find a place where the Walkers are frozen outside, but the following spring, they're going to be back up on their feet chasing you again.

Yeah, but you can spend a few hours outside putting axes in heads of walkers who won't be able to fight back.

Did they ever explain in the comics why they don't decompose as quickly as a body normally would? Such as maggots and other bacteria won't or can't feed on them?
Powerful ending. But all I could think about was...

David.
And it still looks like a different shirt to me, I stand by what I wrote the first time. :unsure

Seconded. He's been the best character since the beginning. The only person in the series that truly thinks of survival, especially when it comes to Lori and Carl. And yet, he's the outcast. I'd be down for a Team Shane shirt, maybe with his signature shotgun as the horizontal line in the A.

They never really say in the comics. Only one scientist shows up in the comic and that's later on. Funny thing is the guy is full of it.
I like to think that the virus is only able to reanimate human beings. Therefore bacteria, insects, other animals aren't zombified, but are simply killed. So the virus kills the bacteria and maggots before they have a chance to consume the corpse.
Not super-relevant (since I'll be interjecting content from something other than The Walking Dead), but in Brooks' "Zombie Survival Guide" the story is that the virus that reanimates the corpses also acts as a repellent to the common bacteria, insects, animals, etc, that would normally feed on (& aid in decomposition of) the body. So the rotting occurs much more slowly.
I kind of like that theory, so that's the one I use when I'm in these "type" of conversations.
On a semi-related note, my bro (police officer) showed me a photo of a deceased individual who had been found in the woods (out in the elements here in FL), & he asked me to guess how long the person had been dead. I thought it HAD to be AT LEAST 8 months, cuz there was literally almost nothing left (& most of it looked to have been just decomposition, as opposed to animal feeding). I was FRAKKING SHOCKED when he told me it was just under 2 weeks. :eek

I saw some History Channel show on this and they showed a time lapse of a deer (if I remember right) and it took just about 2 weeks for it to go from freshly dead to nothing but bones that you could hardly recognise. It was in a hot and humid climate. Interesting and gross to see all at the same time.

It looks different to me, too. But what's a little discontinuity between friends?
I thought the well zombie turned out to be full of maggots when it split open, but I guess it was just liquid running across the ground. Speaking of which:

Not all of it. Remember that drought that Georgia had a few years back? The North Florida area suffered it too. If you're go further south, then it rains like clockwork.

If you can find them. If I recall, in the comic, the ones they found it was by accident and they were barely noticeable because of how much they were covered in snow. But, if you were in Florida, finding them shouldn't be an issue (depending on where in Florida we're talking about, as there are still some wooded areas down here where Walkers can be walking around).

Right, but even so, you'll be able to find some. Those you don't find, as they go through the freeze/thaw cycle, will be significantly damaged by the process even without normal rotting. The freezing will cause cells to explode, and when unfrozen the body will be weakened. Eventually it'll be reduced to a nice flesh slushie.
