Zombie Survival Guide for Urban Dads

by Naumi

Urban dads of young children are so screwed for the Zombie Apocalypse.  It’s true – we’re easy prey.  We live in places that will be teeming with zombies, we’re weighed down by too much baggage, and we’re soft and ill-equipped with zombie-fighting skills from years of working desk jobs (unless, that is, zombies are somehow entranced by Power [...]
