Generally, the pupils are supposed to be black, and the whites are supposed to be…white, because they’re the whites. There’s just something unsettling about a person who has that in reverse. Makes them look dead, like they might or might not have eyeballs. I wonder if this is some sort of diversity program being implemented at the station, or maybe it’s part of an exchange program. Maybe she’s from Halloween Town. Either way, she’s a little creepy.
Frankly, I’m surprised they haven’t already tried this on television. After all, what could be more entertaining than the unlikely pairing of two cops, one alive, and one dead, sort of? Oh, all the kooky adventures they could have, and you could have the constant struggle of the undead cop trying to resist eating its partner’s brain. They could deal with prejudice, acceptance, and all that stuff (heck, if they could have a blind cop, they can have an undead one too). It could be a division of Law & Order, or CSI, or it’s own thing, or whatever. People would watch, at least for an episode or two.
In panel two you can really tell that Tracy is interested in what the new recruit has to say by the way his eyes are closed, and it looks like he’s sleeping, leaning against a pillow that’s been attached to the wall. I guess at this police station, they’re saving space while at the same time providing a place for weary members of the law enforcement community to rest.
Now panel three gets interesting. Shirl either has one arm that is about half the size of the other, or she has three arms and that’s just the extra one she keeps around to scratch her back, carry that extra bag, or to be the third hand people always talk about. I guess this means that not only is she undead, but she’s also a mutant. Fascinating, but Tracy doesn’t seem to care. In fact, it looks as though he has yet to wake up, so maybe this is all a dream.
