You know, I think we have the twins on the show now too, I just don’t think they are twins anymore. I won’t say anything more than that, but I would be lying if I were to tell you not to expect this storyline to come to light on the show sometime soon.
This moment in the comics was the MOST scene in establishing that the humans these people surround themselves with are far worse than the walkers. Wait, I am getting ahead of myself.
In the comic storyline, when they found the jail, life seemed good. It seemed like, for the first time, that these people were catching a break. Well, they weren’t. In the comics, Herschel also happens to have two, very young twin daughters. One day they decided to run off and check out the prison while all the adults are settling in. Flash forward and we find them on the floor of the prison barber shop. Both of their heads severed clean off.
Keep in mind, it wasn’t so much the death that did it to us. Yes, they are young girls, and the very idea is nauseating, but the kicker here is that their heads were CUT OFF. They were not bitten or eaten. They were CUT.
