Think of the Children



by Jason Chan


Once again we are reminded of the difference that Zombie education at an early age can have. Imagine if these children were not drilled in standard Zombie defense tactics. Now, granted, a playground isn't the best place for a last stand, but notice the things they got right. First off, they have the high ground, granting them easy access to the Zombie's vital spot - the head. Secondly, their positioning allows them to dispatch the most amount of Zombies while limiting their exposure to attack. The slide is an ideal place to fend of the undead, as every one hit falls down, pushing the ones behind it down as it falls. The bridge area is being defended as best as possible, with the boy holding back his fallen classmates while the girl in pink brings death from above. I know a lot of parents are worried about damaging their kids' development by explaining to them the reality about the undead at an early age, but just imagine if the kids seen above hadn't been properly educated. Their first exposure to the truth could very well mean exposure to the virus.

We here at Night of the Living Ryan hope these brave souls managed to hold off the swarm of undead friends and classmates until they could be rescued, or at least managed to escape before the recently revived parents and teachers showed up looking for a meal. We'd also like to remind our loyal readers that it's never the early to start teaching your kids about the dangers of a Zombie outbreak. And, please, make sure you go over your household's survival plans at least once a month. Remember, only you can prevent having to put a bullet in a loved one's head in order to protect the uninfected members of your family.

Designer Survival Suits


Japanese designer Kenji Yanobe has created a line of radiation suits that could easily double as zombie survival suits, and would be useful in many other survival situations.

Yanobe has also created specialized suits for both children and the elderly, ensuring that every member of the family survives long enough to provide a considerable drain on your dwindling resources.

The suits for kids are undeniably cute, but the survival car for granpa and grandma apparently includes a heated foot rest and built-in hot water bottle in the seat.

However, I think my favorite bit is the "for profit" escape pod. After certain conditions are met, the user must insert several hundred more yen to continue to wear the pod. Ideally, the money raised in these pods would be used to buy more, but I'm skeptical.
