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 The Legend of Zelda or World of Warcraft, the webcomic also features many recurring Super Smash Bros. characters living together in a building and dealing with various hijinks.Could until very recently be described as not actually havingmuch to do with its title, up until this strip.There are also many pages that appear on her DeviantArt gallery only.She has also started to illustrate (but not write) a brand new webcomic called Aikonia, which can be found at this site.The author is also currently trying to raise money to print the comic book, which can be found here
Birds of a Feather: Katie and many of her friends are gamers, and several comics just show Katie hanging out with her friends to play/talk about Pokémon, Guitar Hero, and many others.
Bishounen: Katie's version of Marth is a parody of the character type.
Catch Phrase: "Add [X] to the list of things I can't draw."
Crossplayer: If Katie's Author Avatar using the male trainer's outfit during Pokémon strips is any indication. Interestingly a bonus strip◊ shows her with a full-pants variant of the RSE female.
As well as Norrin (her boyfriend, possibly) wearing a full-pants version of the B&W female player character.
And if you get to the forums, some users have shopped Norrin into wearing the cutoffs version. And hairy legs.
Freaky Is Cool: The Horde may be this to Katie. Almost all of the World of Warcraft comics are of the Horde, with Tauren, Trolls and the Forsaken being prominent; the only comic that is about the Alliance, is about the Worgen, and Katie wishes they were a Horde race.
Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: In the Pokemon comics, Katie usually wears the male trainer's outfit (though for RSE she had a pants variant of May's outfit), and Norrin wears a variation of the female trainer's outfit from Black/White (with jeans instead of shorts). In the short-lived Nuzlocke comic he wears Green's outfit, skirt and all, after losing in rock-paper-scissors.
Money for Nothing: The description of Carry On explains how Katie plays video games not to defeat the Big Bad but to sell Vendor Trash for money that she won't spend. But it's totally worth it.
Nice Hat: Katie is normally depicted wearing a large red hat, though she has recently switched to a gray one. Fans did not like the change, for some reason.
She also has a nice green fuzzy one.
Norrin is always seen wearing a Diamond Helm in the Minecraft comics.
I have turned the game on, played Voltorb Flip for like an hour, and then turned the game off without actually looking at any Pokemon. TEAM ROCKET'S INSIDIOUS PLOT WAS A SUCCESS.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Pit for Roy. Foreshadowed in an early comic after it was announced that some characters wouldn't be returning to Brawl, made official after the game was released, Roy was kicked out of the house by Master Hand and Pit started taking his place in the jokes, though Pit annoys the others a lot less.
The War on Straw: Carefully read the journalist's shirt in the first panel of this comic. For those whose prescription isn't good enough: I am made of straw. Okay, not subtle, but subtle in its own illegible way.
You Can't Go Home Again: Roy tries to break back into the Smash Bros. house, and is confronted my Master Hand who says no one is allowed to return, except Dr. Mario... and a couple Links... and Mewtwo.
