Zombie KFC Update
A few weeks ago, a reader named Shannon asked me to find an artist to draw a zombie Colonel Sanders and characters from McDonaldland. It was to be a surprise for her husband, who for reasons known only to him, actually wanted something like this.
When you need something this special, call on the Fat Jealous Losers of Regretsy. We’re not here to judge you, we’re here to make your dreams come true.
Actually, we are here to judge you, but let’s not split hairs.
The point is, we had a contest. We received over 100 submissions, and you chose Regretsy regular Brian J. Smith from the finalists. Brian delivered his bleak vision of the Zombie Fast Food Apocalypse to Shannon this week, and it was a big hit.
We are both really, really happy with the way the piece turned out. I told my husband the whole story about Regretsy and the undead Sophie’s Choice situation and the voting and he couldn’t stop smiling. He looked through the gallery of submissions this weekend, and he wants everyone to know that he loves their work and he can’t believe that many people would take the time to sketch or paint this ridiculousness and that it was all for him.
Here are some pictures of him and the framed final product. Once again, you fat jealous losers have made someone feel good, you bastards.

His expression says it all. No, I’m not wiping away a tear, that’s allergies.
April 17, 2012 at 9:59 am
Turned out completely awesome!
April 17, 2012 at 10:00 am
I’m buying one. That is too good to pass up. That is going to go so well with all my classy furniture and tasteful decor that I don’t actually have, but I *do* have a cyclops bust of elvis and a series of statues of naked plumpers, so this is going to fit right in. A+++
April 17, 2012 at 10:02 am
Pictures or the statues don’t exist!
April 17, 2012 at 10:09 am
I wish I had a picture of my personal plumper statuary, but since I don’t, you can see them all at http://www.bootybabeart.net. I’ve purchased nine of these things over the year. There is T&A as far as the eye can see in my house.
April 17, 2012 at 10:12 am
Nice! My wife and I own two of those. Guests are always giving compliments and asking where we got them.
April 17, 2012 at 10:30 am
My company’s firewall won’t let me see what gloriousness is a plumper. Could you, would you, post a photo from that link?

April 17, 2012 at 10:39 am
I thought I would, but I was wrong.
No plumpers for you!
April 17, 2012 at 11:07 am
Well, at least you tried. All I got was a rock. Story of my life. *sighs*
April 17, 2012 at 11:13 am
I have the same problem or I’d post a picture. I thought I must surely have some photo of my apartment with the Babes on display, but of course I don’t.
Take my word for it – a total stranger on the internet – his work is excellent and very sexy if you like thick chicks.
April 17, 2012 at 11:04 am
Wow! That guy/doll does amazing work! Colour me im pressed.
April 20, 2012 at 11:47 am
I have honestly just spent ten minutes searching that site for statues of naked plumbers. Damn my dyslexia confusion. Those statues are fantastic! But I could still use some plumber action ;(
April 17, 2012 at 10:00 am
Hurray for awesome fuckery!
April 17, 2012 at 10:02 am
just look at his face. THAT is pure happiness.
April 17, 2012 at 10:02 am
I love that the Burger King is still smiling, even in death.
April 17, 2012 at 11:02 am
HA! I just saw his head! Just when I thought this drawing couldn’t get any better!!
April 17, 2012 at 10:02 am
that poster is awesome. Well chosen!
April 17, 2012 at 10:07 am
Amazeballs.
April 17, 2012 at 10:09 am
not to horn in on your man, but he’s pretty hot. and the beard adds +10 to hotness. so good job on seducing that poor sucker into your Fat Jealous Loser lair.
April 17, 2012 at 10:11 am
^^^^^^^^what she said
April 17, 2012 at 10:32 am
Wait, is there artwork in the 1st and 3rd photos? I was distracted by the yummyness that is Shannon’s husband.
April 17, 2012 at 3:55 pm
He’s distracting me too. Mostly because I have the feeling I’ve seen him somewhere before… (It’s making me more insane than usual.
April 17, 2012 at 2:58 pm
And he’s wearing an Ohio State Buckeyes shirt? Could it get any better?
April 17, 2012 at 3:21 pm
He kind of looks like Wil Wheaton
April 18, 2012 at 11:13 am
“THAT’S IT!!!”, Lucy screams as Schroeder goes tumbling over the piano.

Hwill Hweaton.
April 17, 2012 at 10:11 am
Awww, bless his smiley happy little face! A happy bunny!
April 17, 2012 at 10:22 am
That turned out fantastic! And he has a killer smile
April 17, 2012 at 10:28 am
Holy shitballs, I want that as a tattoo!
April 17, 2012 at 10:31 am
That turned out really well; no snark from me on this one. Fantastic rendering of the McPocalypse!
April 17, 2012 at 10:35 am
Just bought one for my husband. Better hurry, he only had 8 left!
April 17, 2012 at 10:39 am
He looks like a little kid on Christmas morning!
April 17, 2012 at 10:41 am
I approve of her yellow kitchen. And the guy is cute too.
April 17, 2012 at 10:44 am
I am in awe of everything that goes on here.
I love that we can go from serious to hilarious in helping each other out.
April 17, 2012 at 11:03 am
Hooray! I love it.
April 17, 2012 at 11:07 am
All in favor of making Shannon’s husband TOWEL MIKE 2.0 say AYE!
April 17, 2012 at 11:09 am
AYE!!! (And I throw in extra-enthusiastic Kermit flailing!)
April 17, 2012 at 11:16 am
He makes me think more of Dror than Towel Mike (must be the hair), but I certainly agree with the sentiment.
April 17, 2012 at 12:32 pm
I would have absolutely no problem with Towel Dror or Towel Dror Lite!!
April 17, 2012 at 11:16 am
Aw, I never thought fast food mascot zombies would warm my heart, but it does!
April 17, 2012 at 11:23 am
This is AWESOME! Good job, Brian.
April 17, 2012 at 11:30 am
I’ve been trying to buy this!!! but I cant because WEPAY doesn’t accept Canadian Banking information.
Sad sad Panda.
April 17, 2012 at 11:35 am
Yeah, they need to get that working already.
April 17, 2012 at 11:45 am
Sad. Link to store not working. Need zombie print!
April 17, 2012 at 11:49 am
WePay is down for the moment.
April 20, 2012 at 11:50 am
And the prints are sold out :< This artist is beyond talented and this is one radtastic print to have in your home. I'm thinking an ornate gold frame of the likes used on impressionist paintings. Hope he relists more!
April 17, 2012 at 11:50 am
Reminds me of the
April 17, 2012 at 11:51 am
It was supposed to have this link to the fast Food Villains: http://www.etsy.com/shop/raymagnoli?ref=pr_shop_more
April 17, 2012 at 11:59 am
Even though I voted for the other finalist, I have to say the finished product looks fan-friggin-tastic! And the look on this guy’s face makes the whole silly affair completely worthwhile. Wanna know what happy looks like? That guy. Well, beyond happy, really.
Maybe I should commission some sort of zombie hockey print for my husband. Just so long as he doesn’t suggest putting the final product in the baby’s room.
April 17, 2012 at 12:26 pm
The look of happiness on this man’s face is pure awesome. I know that’s terribly uncreative of me, but I adore seeing other people’s joy.
April 17, 2012 at 12:49 pm
I want to put this in my car window the next time I use the Drive Thru.
April 17, 2012 at 12:53 pm
Hey, everyone, I’m the guy who drew this. It was a great experience and I’m honored you all chose and voted for my piece. As an unemployed struggling artist it was really encouraging!! really sorry prints are sold out! I’m waiting or more mailing tubes to arrive in the next couple of days and then I’ll be able to list more!
If you guys want you can send me an email at brianjsmithart (at) gmail (dot) com, and I’ll start a waiting list if you’re interested in buying the print!
Or visit my tumblr, which is only art by me, and let me know if you’re interested in anything else!

Thanks guys, I’m so honored and can’t wait to hear from you! Thanks a million!!
April 17, 2012 at 1:27 pm
I actually went ahead and made a few more prints available. 10 left for now on the zombie piece!
April 17, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Just looking through your tumblr – I totally didn’t put you together with the KickAss Sparks McGee pictures! Very very cool, those are hilarious!
April 17, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Oh, your little kitty is ADORABLE! And the photo of him sleeping under your beard turned me into a puddle of goo, seriously. That whole black cat thing? Is ridiculous; in England, I learned recently, black cats are GOOD luck. We need to change the American viewpoint.
Any guy with a beard that a kitty loves to sleep under is okay by me.
April 18, 2012 at 11:31 am
PLEASE sell this on a T-Shirt!
April 17, 2012 at 1:04 pm
Awwww, I love that he’s giving us the bird in the first pic!
April 17, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Yadda yadda, all the sweet things about hubby–I echo!
But what does the cute little coffee poster say?
April 17, 2012 at 1:57 pm
I wondered, too. My best guess is “Coffee! Have another cup. You can sleep when you’re dead.”
Annnd it’s time for me to make another cup!
April 17, 2012 at 5:38 pm
I love happy endings! …stories that end sweetly are cool to.
April 17, 2012 at 7:25 pm
Go Bucks!
April 17, 2012 at 7:30 pm
Regretsy is a great model for humanity. Someone needs something, someone else has the time and resources to do it, IT HAPPENS. Love it and love the finished poster.
April 18, 2012 at 7:03 pm
OK I thought about it before, but this zombie Colonel Saunders think keeps coming back. Sooooo here I am dressed the Zombie Colonel himself for last years Halloween party with my band “Hudson Cruiser”.

PS my voice was torched that night so couldn’t sing.
April 19, 2012 at 12:06 am
That is nothing less than fucking awesome. He looks so happy! Rock on, fat jealous losers! I’m so getting one of these to go next to my cut-away poster of the Enterprise NCC 1701-D and my Platform 9 3/4 sign from King’s Cross Station.
July 1, 2012 at 10:30 am
Awww, he looks so happy! Another dream come true, courtesy of Regretsy
