Bonus panel for the NSFW tiers on my Patreon. Bonus panels are NSFW, but not needed to get the joke/etc. in the more SFW version.

Sean is one of the older recurring characters in my comics universe. He was the maintenance man for the apartment building where John and George, the leads of Zombie Roomie, lived initially in that comic.

They don't live in an apartment building that would have that role in the reboot, so he didn't have a place... So I figured Club Pink Taco could use his services.

The mothman did appear in a pair of ZR strips way back in 2010. I changed up his design since his wings were attached to his arms back then... and I wanted to do something different with him now than I did 15 years ago.
