Boys Don’t Cry
As of this month, Zombie Boy has now officially entered his third year of afterlife online! He first appeared in print in 1987 as a straight-up comic book, with subsequent issues throughout the next decade. I made the transition from a comic book into a webcomic in 2010, with the first strip posting on Aug. 2, 2010. You can see that strip here.
I’d like to thank all the people who have stuck with me, and supported my efforts to keep creating and producing this comic. Your comments, tweets, retweets, mentions, shout-outs, guest art, emails, special cameos, podcasts, and continuous positive energy have made the journey so far possible. I’m really lucky to have so many wonderful friends, colleagues, and fellow creatives surrounding and supporting me! My warmest thanks to each and every one of you!
Hey Mark, Great achievment three years. Hope you keep on going strong.
Daniel, you’ve been one of my strongest supporters, and I really do appreciate you! Thank you so much, my friend!
Thank you for all your support! 🙂
No problem, my friend! We have some of the best talent on the web around us, Tim, and that support is coming from everyone!
That’s how he was able to get through Fried Green Tomatoes with dry eyes. Congratulations on Three years!
I could have used it for E.T., lol. Thank you, Michael, for all the nice things you’ve done for me and Zombie Boy! Your friendship is much appreciated!
I want a skull cake!
I don’t care what it’s shaped like if it’s good cake!
BTW, CONGRATS
Thanks a lot, Joe! And thanks for all your comments and support, too!
Yay! Congratulations! Here’s hoping for a long and prosperous Zombie Boy!
And he’ll be eleven again next year! Thanks a lot, Julian, for all your comments and support!
Congratulations Mark! Have a brilliant day!
Muchas gracias, my friend!
Congratulations Mark, you know Zombie Boy gets better and better and still my favorite webcomic out there!
Gosh, David, that is so nice of you to say! Thank you! Your work is top notch, and it challenges me to want to work harder!
Let’s all do the happy birthday dance!!! A wonderful milestone and just the beginning of many more.
What birthday is complete without a happy birthday dance? Thanks for the nice words, J.P.!
Congratulations, Mark! What an accomplishment! Keep up the great work! -v
I appreciate that Vince! You’re a powerhouse of a creator, and I’m honored to have your friendship and support!
Congratulations Mark! You’ve created a fantastic comic with your very own style. It’s been a pleasure reading Zombie Boy and I’m looking forward to many more strips to come. 😀
Bill, you are a good friend and a fellow webcomic maker with the same update schedule as me. So you know the trials and tribulations of getting those strips online each week. I truly appreciate your support, comments, and well wishes!
Nice! Huge congrats on the milestone man!
Thanks so much, Jared!
Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoy this anniversary and thank you for providing us with so much incredible entertainment. 🙂
Thanks, George! You’re two years ahead of me and still bringing the best comics on the web!
Congratulations, Mark! And a very Happy Deathday to Zombie Boy!
The black balloons are hilarious!
Thanks a lot, Joseph! Nothing says happy like black balloons!
The disadvantages of being a zombie! Congratulations for your milestone! 😀
Oh, who needs tears, anyway? They just make your vision blurry! Thanks for the nice words, Guillermo!
Congrats on 3 years! Now, I suspect I speak for a lot of people when I say, I’d love to see those comic books! 🙂
Thanks, Chris! I may try to offer some of my comics online if enough people are interested.
YAY! CONGRATULATIONS! <3
ahem…
I wish I'd known earlier, I'd have given you a special shout out Aedre's Firefly!
My, how the time flies when we're all having fun with Zombie Boy and crew! May there be many more years of WebZyndication!
This comment is very special to me, Jande. You’ve been such a tremendous supporter of me and my work, words don’t adequately express how much it means to me. Time does fly, and I’m having fun, too. I guess that’s the real secret of these past three years!
Congratulations on three years of Zombie Boy online! Looking forward to many more! 🙂
Really appreciate that, Tom! Thanks so much!
Congrats Mark, what an astounding accomplishment! I would clap but my hands are tied!
Three years really is a lot of work! I’m almost at 500 strips in my archive – that’s more cartooning than I’ve ever done in my entire life! I truly appreciate you, Wouter, your friendship, talent and support mean a lot!
That’s funny – it’s my UnBirthday today as well! Here’s to you ‘n me, ZB!
Happy Unbirthday, Davo!
Congrats and thanks for sharing so many awesome Zombie Boy adventures and art, Mark! I enjoyed your party a lot 🙂 guess Gorr is gonna have a piece of pie, when nobody watches..
Hopefully, he’ll leave a little for the rest of them, lol. Jorine, it means so much to me to read your words, thanks for all your very kind support and well wishes!
Congratulations on three years of great undeadness!
Live fast, die young, and be a good looking corpse! Thanks, Peter!
Tear ducts are over rated anyway. They just make us look sooky
And they activate at the worst times, too. Thank gosh the theater is dark when mine well up at sappy movies!
Problem is that the sad bits are close to the end so you still have red watery eyes when the lights come on.
You would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for those red eyes!
Black balloons, skeleton cake, they thought of everything! Congratulations Mark. Keep up the great work!
There’s formaldehyde fruit punch, too, but nobody but Zombie Boy will drink it. Thanks a lot, Gruhn!
You’re welcome hahahahahahah
So you’re not a real ophthalmologist, are you?
Congratulations to Mark!
And to Zombie Boy I say: First World Problems
Thanks a lot, Chris! I think the tear duct thing must have been a by-product of that voodoo ceremony that turned him into a zombie in the first place.
Congrats Mark, I’ve been enjoying your comic ever since finding it when we realized our Milton connection. Can’t wait to see the next 3 years of Zombie Boy
Roland, I truly appreciate your nice words of encouragement. Thanks for sticking with me all these years!
Congrats!!
Thanks, Tom!
I have enjoyed each and every strip you’ve ever made. Including the one you sent me. I’m always humbled by your work and your words! Here’s to another 3 years, may this work live long beyond its death, kind of like Zombie Boy himself! Eternally!
I’m humbled by your gracious words, Jynksie. I’m blessed to have great friends like you around me along the way. You were one of the first fellow creators I met when I started my strip online, and you’ve always been more than propitious with your friendship and encouragement. Hopefully, Zombie Boy can keep shambling for a while longer, even without shoes…
Congratz on the big 3, Mark!
Thanks a lot, Aidan! We’ve been circling in the same orbit for a while, I really appreciate your sticking around after all these years!
Mazel Tov. Belated buy heart felt.
Thanks, Ol’ Gui! Zombie Boy had a good birthday this year!
