#210 - Eugene Porter\/Emaciated Zombie<\/h3>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

A former science teacher, Eugene claims to know the cause of the zombie virus, and is headed to Washington D.C. to help find a cure. The only communication he has with the government is via short-wave radio.<\/i><\/p>\n

Other than the rifle<\/a>, this is one of the plainest \"civilian\" Minimate figures there's ever been. He's wearing a khaki jacket over a partially unbuttoned white dress shirt, and is wearing plain pants. He looks like a high school science teacher or something! His hair should really be more of a mullet than this, but the fact that they remembered to paint his stubble and his chest hair makes up for it.<\/p>\n

Survival tip: zombies need regular food intake in order to maintain their weight and mobility. A zombie with nothing to eat grows thin and eventually loses the ability to move around. Avoid fat zombies.<\/i><\/p>\n

The control art for the Emaciated Zombie says she's based on page five of Walking Dead<\/i> #53, but that's wrong: she actually comes from page one of #52<\/a>. She's wearing blue sweatpants and a pink shirt, which is clearly a colorscheme that Art Asylum made up, since the book is in black and white<\/a>. What's really impressive is that the stains on her clothes perfectly match the ones seen in the comic art. After a spate of \"this zombie is extrapolated from half a headshot\" zombies, it's nice to see one with clear inspirations. She has jaw-length blonde hair and no lips, and both her arms are the \"beef jerky<\/a>\" one seen before - one of them is just turned backwards.<\/p>\n
