The text is a bit hard to read
A weak to the original picture, but I’m totally fine removing the current.
Everybody loves the me! I’m a great athlete!Keep current.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.Pull current, it's failing to illustrate the "technically living" part. But the dialogue bubbles are too hard to read on the suggestion.
Pull current
Did another pass at the suggestion, removed the Beat Panel with the news anchor and therefore the caption which the joke in kind of relied on but it wasn't necessary in this case:
EDIT:
Another pass

If we want a different image from the same film that makes it more obvious that they aren't undead:
Brightened a bit:
back lolAlready present in Our Zombies Are Different. It also doesn't provide a possible source for the zombiefication.
Bump… I think I’ll go with 8.
back lolIt doesn't really look like a zombie, more being touched by a Walking Wasteland or something.
Agreed.
I'm gonna say no pic for now.
No pic for now
Welcome to Corneria!Maybe something from The Crazies (2010)? They use weapons and pretty sadistic tactics. This first one is using a garrote.
I was tempted to just use the bottom panel, since the mom is using a gun and tied up one of the main characters as very un-zombilike behaviour, but the son in that scene is much more clearly infected.

Weak to 17.1.

Everybody loves the me! I’m a great athlete!My issue with all the ones suggested is that other that Drope's in 8 all of these people could be dead, nothing about them screams "not actually undeath, it's some sort virus or mass mind control spell, etc." and even 8 is kinda weak at most because I didn't parse the character as a zombie like creature at first.
These might be a bit weak but they show zombie like people strapped up to heart monitors showing their hearts are still beating?
19.1:
19.2:
19.3 (above with a extra panel in case people think the "zombies" net to be shown being more zombie-ish):
19.2
I'm just a psycho, babe! Come and go out my mind. I didn't lose it, babe! There wasn't much to find.17.1 is the best so far.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.19.2 (because it's kind of hard to see the garrote in 17.1)
Welcome to Corneria!Crowner's up. I excluded the suggestions in 9 for the reasons in 10
19.2, with a caption pointing out the cardiogram in the background.
The Lower Decks selections are the best so far. I went with 2 and 3.
Crown Description:
Technically Living Zombie
It was brought up a while ago in the Ask For Explanations thread that the only thing telling us that these guys aren't classic undead is the caption.
I propose this from Zombie Waffe instead
3 of 12 panels from here: https://tapas.io/episode/1224769
I just noticed this had a previous thread that did not produce a new image: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16704947030.57699200&page=1
