''[[http://www.awkwardzombie.com Awkward Zombie]]'' is a wacky weekly gaming webcomic by Katie Tiedrich. While many of the strips are stand-alone gags from various games such as ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' or ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', the webcomic also features several recurring ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' characters living together in a building and dealing with various hijinks.

*** There's also "[[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/feedback Feedback]]", which shows what happens when you start a fish farm without putting all your fish in their own enclosures, especially if one of them is a ''tiger shark''. [[note]] Nevermind how shark farming by itself can already be considered AwesomeButImpractical. [[/note]]
----> ''Maybe instead of a restaurant we can just sell admission to see the world's most well-fed shark.''

** In ''VideoGame/DaveTheDiver'', Dave can find tins of cat food while exploring, which can then be fed to the cat of the sushi restaurant he works at. This is the only kind of food Momo can eat. [[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/awkward-zombie/limited-menu "Limited Menu"]] points out how weird it is that Dave can't feed Momo anything else by having him apologize for having no food for Momo... while simultaneously carrying three fish for the sushi restaurant.

** In ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', feeding your Pokémon some sandwiches can restore their HP and heal any status conditions they might have. "[[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/thyme-heals-all-wounds Thyme Heals All Wounds]]" shows how awkward that would look, eating a sandwich while your party members are either fainted or otherwise immobilized[[note]] Like Katie's frozen Appletun[[/note]], thus unable to enjoy a sandwich.

** This also applies to [[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/awkward-zombie/unteach-a-man-to-fish fishing]] [[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/awkward-zombie/business-before-treasure games]]. Note that both comics are ''back-to-back'', which rather deliberately highlights how much Katie has a habit of getting way into the fishing before she ever actually bothers with the plot (and in the case of ''{{VideoGame/Dredge}}'' it causes her to be functionally overleveled when she actually does get around to dealing with the horrors of the deep). This ''baffles'' the NPC characters in both cases.
