In the last one think “Dead man walking” isn’t meant in its normal sense of “someone who is currently alive but soon won’t be!” but more as dead man walking = zombie.

The Roz Chast one is just supposed to be absurd. A list of organizations that wouldn’t normally be aligned.

New World Order conspiracy theories were popular in some circles in the 1990s. For example, Pat Robertson’s 1991 book, The New World Order, imagined a conspiracy including the Illuminati, the New Age movement, the Freemasons, the Council on Foreign Relations, the United Nations, and the Trilateral Commission. The alliances contemplated by Roz Chast are no more unlikely.
It is said that, prior to the 1960s, prison guards would call out “Dead man walking!” when escorting a prisoner under sentence of death. The phrase was the title of a 1993 book and a 1995 movie adaptation. It is not clear why the man in the Jack Ziegler cartoon is under what I take to be a spousal sentence of death, but he must have done something to offend her deeply.

I think Ian C has it with the ‘zombie’ response. It was probably too early for the ‘trope’ of zombie cartoons to take hold(zombies being disheveled animated corpses, rather than ‘normal’-looking people).

The scowl on the woman’s face saying “Dead man walking” makes me think more of the idea he won’t soon be alive than he is already dead and a zombie.
