Continuing my 100% digital drawing of the strips and liking it.
I dropped the size of the brush I used for ‘inking’ as I felt the Monday strip’s ‘inks’ were too thick.
I ended up watching an episode of Ghost Hunters to figure out what the logo/graphic overlays should look like.
Also, faking the night vision was pretty fun times.

This strip is 100% digital.
Unlike the previous twenty odd strips that I’ve done, this one was done entirely inside Photoshop.
Up until now, I’ve drawn the characters on paper, inked them, scanned it, then composed in the panels and colored the drawings.
I’ve been able to cut out a few of those steps.
All thanks to my new Wacom tablet, the Bamboo Fun. I used to have an old Graphire 3 which is a far cry from this newer tablet.

Merry Christmas to everyone who reads Zombie Roomie.
If you know someone who might like it… Please as a present to me share a link with them.
We’ll return Monday with new strips NOT dealing with Christmas…. It was a fun story to play with but, I want to get back to some characters and further some goals I have.
-John
Zombie Roomie’s first Christmas story comes to an end this Friday, yes… on Christmas!!!
In the meantime enjoy this double-sized strip. It’s the second I’ve done.
As the world’s population grows, so grows the number of children Santa has to give presents to. The whole North Pole operation needs to be in tip top shape so they run time trials so they’re on schedule come the big night.
That’s what John and George are stuck doing for George’s punishment.
-John
p.s.: Ringo the Reindeer sends his regards.
George was found guilty and John comes along to help him out… and to meet Santa Claus.
There are a handful of teeny jokes in this strip.
The judge’s name is The Honorable H. T. Snow, which is a play on the judge from Night Court Harold T. Stone.
Behind the snowman judge is the Christmas law symbol of the scales of justice where packages and coal are balanced.
The airline is Reindeer Air and it’s coloration is that of a reindeer with a red nose cone.
What is George’s punishment? Find out Wednesday in another double-sized strip!!!
N.O.E.L. is out to get George it would seem.
But, are they in the right here?
We continue from Wednesday’s strip where George was served papers.
In the third panel George is rocking the bare skull because he had his hair trimmed at the same time he was shopping. Remember? Check it out here.

Yeah this one’s a wordy one… It seems doing a strip with no dialog forced me to put extra dialog into the following comic. It’s something I’ll have to look out for if I do another pantomime strip in the future.
George is served a court summons by Elves.
I thought the idea of doing a strip without dialog was a fun experiment.
Doing snow was a nifty experience.
This strip officially starts the Christmas storyline for 2009. Check back every Monday-Wednesday-Friday until Christmas morning to continue this storyline.
-John
Everyone welcome John’s sister, Maegan, to the world of Zombie Roomie.
She’s a hair stylist, as you can plainly see from the strip.
She has been previously mentioned in the second strip on the site, “George and the Fat Man”, where John and George dressed as a pair of Elvi to attend her Halloween party.
