* ManInWhite: The half-zombie is dressed in bright white - and manages to stay that way - despite his constant wading through blood and gore. He explains how this is possible while during a "fan mail" strip : he uses Gain laundry detergent between every panel.

* AxCrazy: The Berserker zombie takes a particularly sadistic time in brutally torturing it's victims to death. They also seem to wear [[SlasherSmile Slasher Smiles]] and their call sounds like they are LaughingMad.
