The Vegan Zombie<br />

One of the most interesting and relatable project out there is<br />

The Vegan Zombie. It is a New York based cooking show that<br />

is hosted by focuses on eating healthy, vegan style. Chris<br />

Cooney and Jon Tedd, the creators of this youtube channel came<br />

up with this idea by mashing together their love for veganism and<br />

horror flicks to produce The Vegan Zombie. The idea revolves around<br />

John (the host of the show), trying to eat healthy, vegan food during a<br />

zombie apocalypse.<br />

They decided to combine all their recipes which are both online and in<br />

small books and create a create a cookbook in the form of a graphic<br />

novel.<br />

The graphic novel shows Jon Tedd trying to survive the apocalypse by<br />

cooking all sorts of vegan recipes.<br />

The graphic novel/cookbook was funded on fundraiser by 1,273<br />

supporters who donated around $43,000 even their budget was<br />

initially only $18,500, thus making it highly successful. The extra<br />

money was used to upgrade their kitchen, add 30 more pages and<br />

even add dozens of siders such as bookmarks, stickers to the book.<br />
