Otis (Comic Series)

Otis was the boyfriend of Patricia, and a neighbor of Hershel Greene and his family. He also had a slight problem with racism towards the black survivors, specifically Tyreese and Michonne.

Pre-Apocalypse
Prior to the zombie plague's beginning, Otis and his girlfriend Patricia narrowly escaped from Wiltshire Estates. Hershel Greene allowed them to stay in their farm.

After-Apocalypse
Being good-natured person, he took it extremely hard when he shot and almost killed Rick's son, Carl after shooting at a buck, which went through and hit Carl.

The Prison
Otis remained at the farm to look after the livestock while the surviving members of the Greene family left to join Rick's group at the prison. Otis would later follow, only to be stopped and ambushed by a massive amount of roamers. He would most certainly have died had Michonne not been roaming around looking for refuge. Michonne proceeded to slaughter the surrounding zombies until she and Otis were permitted access into the prison. Once he was safe, Otis proceeded to joined the group, however he was forced to end his relationship with Patricia after learning of her part in Dexter's attempted coup. He was later obligated to apologize to Patricia, seeing that he possibly wouldn't find another woman in his life. This was the last that we were able to see of Otis, that is until his death of course.

Trivia

 * In an interview with UGO, Kirkman stated: "I think [Otis's racism] came about after he was introduced because I started to notice that all the characters were pretty nice except for an evil character that kills kids sometimes. I wanted to throw in some people that aren't evil but aren't so nice either. I've got some stuff planned for Otis now that should be pretty cool. But I realized that I had made a mistake in making everybody too friendly."


 * Creator Robert Kirkman wrote on Otis's death: "Otis wasn't buried because he didn't have much left of him and didn't die at a time when the burying would have been easy to do. There were tons of zombies to clean up...and Otis was a zombie...Allen and Carol weren't zombies."
