Reasons Why The Last Man on Earth is not Related at all to Y the Last Man

Y the Last Man is the comic that got me hooked on graphic novels. When I heard there was a TV show called “The Last Man on Earth” I was hoping there would be some relation to my beloved comic. There is not and here is why:

 

1) Ampersand! If these two were related, this little guy would absolutely be around in The Last Man on Earth

2)  Yorick is THE last man, Phil is one of the last PEOPLE

3) An angry mob of lesbians is not after Phil

4) Freedom! Yorick doesn’t have it, and Phil has too much of it.

5) Yorick is trying desperately to find the love of his life, beth. Phil has only one option.

6) Yorick and hero are much better names than Phil and Carol
