Shop description
"Then, in the Plants vs. Zombies short story "The Origin of Zomboss," a Brain-Z Entertainment film crew explores the many past jobs of Dr. Zomboss and what led to him forming the zombie army!"
Plot
This story starts with Pokey Piquenose interviewing Dr. Zomboss for Z-Brain Entertainment to talk about his past jobs before becoming a zombie overloard. When Zomboss was studying at the zombie institution for higher learning for low deeds, his guidanz counselor told him that the real value of life is the journey and that he has to see the outside world. Following his guidance counselor's advice, he would become "Zomhoss", a cowboy riding Gargantuars, and also during those days he met Old Phil and wrote many cowboy ballads. Then Patrice and Nate Timely come asking what the zombies are doing, and Crazy Dave tells them that they are filming a "spotlight of Zomboss" special since the zombie channels require making 4 Zomboss specials every day. Nate also gets his pizza delivered. Continuing with the interview, his second job was being a sailor as "Zomboat", but he had to quit because he got seasick. But still, during this time that he was able to meet Tugboat. Patrice, worried that the zombies might cause trouble, asked Nate to call the plants to be prepared. Back with Zomboss, his third job was to be a loss prevention officer as "Zomloss", because the zombies did not understand the concept of "paying", or any concept in general. In those days he prevented a worth of 2 million dollars in theft, although Pokey also mentions that Zomboss is also responsible for a 34 million dollar worth of theft. His next job as "Zomross", was as a painter on a public television show, painting happy little trees. But he quit because the producers asked him to stop painting little zombies chasing not-so-happy people in his paintings, and he refused because it "compromised his artistic integrity". Meanwhile, the plants that called Nate and Patrice had already arrived. Back with Zomboss, his next job was as a woodsman (or rather woodszombie) known as "Zommoss", as he lived in the moss-filled forest. During that time he met a zombie named Frogpants. Although it was a good time for Zomboss, he felt a certain hunger in him, and that hunger would be for brains and personal service. So he left his life as "Zommoss" behind to become "Zomtoss". During this time, he was a star athlete, and became the starting quarterback of his foot all collage team, after all the other quarterbacks were "accidentally" sent to Bouvet Island, later Zomboss himself confessed that he was responsible for that. But later he would grow tired of his life as "Zomtoss" because he could not own the losing team by beating them. Although many of the football zombies from his "Zomtoss" era still follow him, because they still don't understand that the game is over, so they keep following him brainlessly. And before ending the interview, Zomboss mentioned that when talking about his life, made him realize about the zombies he met during his journey. Like Big Trouble, who he met in his "Zomloss" era when Big Trouble worked in a perfumery. He realized that the true value of life is the friends he made along the way. Especially those who are part of his zombie army. The comic ends with the plants fighting Zomboss' army.
