Jeffrey Burrito
I am finally feeling better, and just in time to move in with two crazy Louisiana dudes this week. Fortunately I live by a simple philosophy: Possess no more belongings than can allow you to leave town in 15 minutes and also live like you might end up with a reason to have to do that.
Is continuity killing Overcompensating? It makes me uncomfortable.
Also I hope that Hunter S. Thompson is not regretting his decision at this point, and hopefully is feeling better.

naw man, it's great. keep us up to date. word!
Thanks For Mentioning Hunter S. Thompson
Oh, Joanna... We hardly knew ye!
Hunter S. Thompson killed himself on President's Day... coincidence?
I think occasional continuity like in the past few strips is fine, but please don't let it consume OC.
wait...isn't a zombie just a reanimated corpse?
Also, there should be a law requiring all cats to wear bowties.
Dear Jeff:
My former roommates and I are planning a commando raid whereby we'll kidnap you and put you in our closet along with Jon Stewart and Steve Buscemi (who will be captured in separate raids). We'll film you interacting for a reality tv show, as well as poke you with cattle prods to make you tell us jokes. Anyway, please tell me if you're lactose intolerant or need insulin regularly, because that might be good to know.
See you soon.
I like the occasional bits of multi-day continuity. Don't stress ;-)
The cat intrigues me.
The other Jeff was an imposter!!!
You're not dead Jeff - he tried to get rid of you.
I know, my evil twin does this sort of thing all the time.
that cat is so awesome. i want one just like it. it gives my cat feelings of inferiority.
Rubbish bin? Jeff's dating a Englishwoman! Cool.
It's typically kinda difficult to pull off the mini-continuity gag, going in one direction for a little while and then reverting mostly back to normal, without being lame, but I've felt like Overcompensating has been doing a really nice job of it, run on sentence. The continuity here is totally not annoying and I'm happy to have smaller storylines that don't last forever and yet are still good reads, and then fun shit happens again in an entirely different way the next time, hey look another run on sentence, who knew!
And, you know, stuff.
Fucking blogger, now I'm going to have to get an account.

jeff,
you summed up my feelings for Hunter very nicely. Thank-you.
i swear to god, you should sell a shirt with that cat on it. i would totally buy at least one, but less than three.

Where in Lousiana are you moving, dare I ask? I don't know if I can give you a cultural tour but I know all the good tittie bars in southern Lousiana.
(Just to note, if you aren't moving to southern Louisiana you aren't really moving to Louisiana, you are basically moving to Texas, except without cowboys or spanish speaking people).
I feel more and more like that cat everyday. Especially with the non-breathing, and that's a problem.
There's nothing wrong with continuity, but ain't that what WIGU is for? Not complaining, since the more continuity there is, the more I can draw parallels between your comic and the feelings I get when I fall down manholes into sewers filled with chocolate.
He's moving to "Oklahoma Parish," which is in Oklahoma City. It's run by two Louisiana guys and is about to secede from Oklahoma.
I think we need a "Caped Bear vs G0d of Internets" rumble.
i'm sure a great weight has been lifted off hunter's shoulders. hello? where's my freaking rim shot?
You MUST provide a plushie of the Zombie!Cat. <3 If not, I'll be completely impulsive and run to Michael's, buy fabric, and sew my own.

The continuity works because each strip has been able to stand alone. This one contains its own little perfectly absurd situation (man encounters own dead body) as well as some harking back to earlier weeks and events. The important thing is that you don't need to have read the previous strips that this continues from in order to find this one funny in itself. Keep it up!
I like continuity. Otherwise I would lie awake at night wondering what zombie Jeff is up to.

Continuity it WEIRD.
what killed the cat?
CURIOSITY!
Jeff, if you're a zombie, you are inhabiting your own dead body. So you must be a zombie ghost, instead.
oh my god, I've become one of THOSE people...
Moving into Louisiana or with two cajuns who happen to live in OK?
I'd like to say, as a former Normanite who's now a New Orleanian, that the two can peacefully coexist. With the help of booze. And some strong transparent-aluminum walls. But the two can get along, I promise.
