My name is Bobby Lunger. Well it used to be when I was a living person. Now I’m a card-carrying member of the Undead. Can you imagine what it would be like if you became a zombie? In my case, I’m trapped in this old husk of a body, doing the bidding of the hunger. Being one of the undead comes with pain. The pain of my decaying body and the hunger doesn’t make the pain less bearable. I want to return to the peace of the grave, free myself of this terrible undead life, but the hunger won’t allow it. There’s only one solution to my pain-riddled existence: Brains!

Caroline has news and he needs to listen to her, for just about the first time ever. Wake up, Stan!

"Even before the apocalypse, Jo had found online dating to be stressful, frustrating, and a poor return on her time invested. The apocalypse had made things arguably even worse."
