Quacktown + ZombieToons MUST DIE! - Page 1 (AM Guest Strip)



And we rise from the grave (quite literally, regarding the context) after "Shark Week" with a special five-part crossover guest strip!

The mad genius culprit behind this is Aaron Mocksing, creator of "Keeping Up With Thursday". He took up my offer for a guest strip spot, and he whipped up five pages of monster-mashing-in-Toontown-goodness. In a nutshell, it's a crossover between "Quacktown" and another neato webcomic of his, "ZombieToons MUST DIE!" with the protagonists, Lenny Pools and Miko Duck, teaming up with Quacklad and Tyrra against a threat that can be described as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" meets "Dawn of the Dead" with a dash of "Marvel Zombies". 

Here's a list of the zombified toons Aaron featured on this page:
  • Miranda Wright ("Bonkers")
  • Longarm ("C.O.P.S.")
  • Bonkers D. Bobcat ("Bonkers")
  • Koko the Clown (Max Fleischer)
  • Cleo ("The Catillac Cats")
  • Jessica Rabbit ("Who Framed Roger Rabbit")
  • Since Aaron works primarily with Flash for his art, I helped him out with adding our logos together using GIMP. He wrote and drew all four pages while I served as a "creative consultant" for Quacklad and Tyrra.
  • His zombified take on the toon victims is a legitimate mix of creepy and cool. The zombie Koko the Clown and Bonkers were the best, and I liked seeing the Dour Duck and Hyper Husky in his style.


Stick around for Page 2 tomorrow, folks!
