The Other Survivors are groups of survivors that are scattered through-out the wasteland. So far, there have been few encounters.







Groups

  • Group #1 was a cult (based around an ingredients label from a lemonade bottle). They were living in the tunnel system below the ruined cityscape. The leader of this group was smashed by a burning monorail train with a jet engine strapped to the top, crashing into their 'church'. The group believed that Captain who emerged from that train was their "great prophet Lemonade", who had returned to make them delicious. Only after Captain treated the cult terribly, they threw him into the 'Pit of sugary death'. The Captain survived though, by drinking all the contents of the death pit with his straw. The group still exists. [ It's shown that sometime in the future, a group of cavemen are worshipping Captain and spreading the legend of him escaping the death pit. Other paintings on the wall depict "A ufo landing" "A red animal being attacked by 3 warriors" "a two headed giraffe" and "3 warriors fighting a giant 3 armed monster" it's worth noting that of the 3 warriors, only one has a projectile weapon (Snippy?) this could have hinted towards The Biomass 117 attacking them VERY early on in the comic]
  • Group #2 was encountered by Mr. Snippy when he was out looking for supplies from a list provided by Captain. This group had their own leader and at least 3 more members. They tied up Snippy to a chair probably for later interrogation. When the sniper tried to escape by tipping his chair over, one of the group's members discovered him and suggested a beating. Cancer's first ever appearance interrupted any punishment of Snippy, since it killed probably the whole group when it showed up. It is unknown whether there are any survivors of that group left, it is very unlikely, though. The group seemed to do a good job at gathering guns and supplies, they must have had at least one working generator for electricity, and they had several flasks of highly flameable substances stored in their hideout. Said hideout was destroyed in the battle between Cancer and Mr. Snippy.

Loners

  • UPS-Guy was hired by Pilot to deliver a note to Mr. Snippy after the sniper was swallowed by a whale. It is unknown how or where Pilot found the strange old man with the UPS-tattoo on his left arm. The UPS-guy is pale with white halflong hair, wearing black pants, green fisheye-goggles and a gasmask with a snorkel attached to it (at least for this special delivery run/swim). Additionally he had a chain with a ring on it around his neck, so there might be a Mrs-UPS somewhere out there, too.
  • Stalky the stalker has been spotted spying on the Captain. In the moment he seems to be on a quest of his own, though, to fetch the Captain a very special present.

Other instances

  • Many mostly intact bodies were found inside the Biomass before its destruction. Those included both males and females, and probably mean there were other groups of survivors around the wastelands that Zee Captain and Snippy never met. It is unknown if said groups of survivors still exist, since it is likely the Biomass took everyone it encountered.
