Robert Kirkman Points Out An Uncomfortable Truth About The Start Of Rick Grimes' Heroic Journey
The Walking Dead Deluxe#92 – Written By Robert Kirkman; Art By Charlie Adlard; Color By Dave McCaig; Lettering By Rus Wooten
While it might seem as though Kirkman is just being crass with his solution , he is in fact acknowledging the limits of " realism " inThe walk Dead .
In the original letters discussion section ofThe Walking Dead#9 , Robert Kirkman responded to fans ' precariousness about the realism of Rick Grimes ' journey from his hometown , to the snake god - overrun metropolitan center of Atlanta . As Robert Kirkman explained , the journey would not have been as strenuous or protract for Rick as some might have thought . Kirkman work out :
A deal of people seem to think he go a reasonably far distance between issues # 1 and # 2 . The first return take plaza in the town where I grew up , Cynthiana , Kentucky , and it ’s only a six - 60 minutes driving force to Atlanta from there . It was tender alfresco , and there was NO dealings … apart from ruin cars and whatnot he had to avoid . He ran out of gas really tightlipped to Atlanta … and he was on that buck for a WHILE . See … it all makes sense .
While this put to rest any lingering doubts about Rick ’s travel in the first issue ofThe walk Dead , Kirkman seemingly could n’t kibosh himself from leaven an even more renowned repugnance .
As the generator amended to his resolution :
Just do n’t contribute up the fact that he [ Rick ] was in a coma for a bit of weeks and did n’t s**t himself .
While it might seem as though Kirkman is plainly being crass with his answer , he isin fact acknowledging the limits of " realism " inThe Walking Dead . away from its zombie spirit eruption premise , The Walking Deadpresented a grounded portrayalof how man would react toa refinement - finish crisis . Still , that faithfulness to the " real " could only be stretch out so far – and Rick ’s hygienics upon waking up from his comatoseness was one subtle way in which the series acquiesce to narrative necessity alternatively .
The Walking Dead’s “Realism” Necessarily Had Its Limits
Often Gory, But Rarely Gross
As Robert Kirkman acknowledged , there might be a gross " patch mess " when it comes to Rick ’s comatoseness , but it was ultimately undistinguished in the setting of the larger goal ofThe Walking Dead .
Realistically , after waking up unattended from a coma , Rick Grimes certainly would have found that he had dirty himself – but as a writer , Robert Kirkman had to make the decision not to emphasize that contingent . In this way , even unintentionally , Kirkman found that there were boundaries to the storey of realism he was willing to occupy with . In other words , some naturalistic detail needed to be sacrifice , or at least pretermit , in edict to get to the more pressing realism of theatrical role ' actions and emotion .
This " heavy picture " realism , so to utter , was always Robert Kirkman ’s priority . That is perhaps why Kirkman made the point in conjunction with his explanation of Rick ’s early travels – as if to signalise to fans that focusing on the minor particular instead of the overarching storey , and the issue - by - issueemotional impact ofThe Walking Dead , was a embezzlement of their focussing . As Robert Kirkman acknowledge , there might be a unadulterated " patch pickle " when it comes to Rick ’s coma , but it was ultimately insignificant in the context of use of the larger goals ofThe Walking Dead .
