Could be explained a couple of ways.  First it could be a feeding frenzy mentality similar to sharks.  Second it could be the zombie disease (or whatever it is) tells their body to consume living flesh, and since flesh doesn't instantly die when the heart stops beating, it makes sense for them to continue eating for 15-30 minutes after the kill.

Watched a lot of zombie movies but never heard this.  Sometimes you see zombies that are dying, possibly of starvation.

One thing I couldn't figure out was the dude that hung himself only to turn into a zombie and have his legs eaten off.  If he was bite before he hung himself, dies, turns, then zombies ate his zombie legs.  If he hung himself not bitten and didn't die, well he's an idiot I guess.  Then he was stuck and zombies came along, ate his legs and turned him.  Seems far fetched.

What did the zombie in the bottom of the well eat, or the zombie that hung himself?  Zombies with most of the body missing, including their stomaches, still seem to survive just fine.

I have just spent the last 2 weeks reading all of the comics and am currently still reading them, and garnerb350 is right actually. Anyone who dies, bitten or not becomes a zombie. Unless you were referring to something else garner350 said.  Also, in the comic they do refer to them as "zombies". Walkers and roamers for the most part, but they do say "zombies" occasionally.

Come to think of it there was a thing about halfway through the books where something like that happened, BUT I remember seeing corpses in the books as well.  The only explaination would be that some people are immune.  I suppose it could also be zombies that people killed.  They would rot normally after they are killed I would assume.  To be honest though it was only mentioned in a short part of the books though and I think it was just bad writing  to give Rick an excuse to go back and make his peace over Shane being shot  as it was never really brought up again.

They refer to them as zombies because the writers gave up.  Initially they explicity tried to not use the term for the reasons I explained before but the editors kept catching them using the term out of habit, sent it back to them and they had to fix it.  It delayed production and on top of that it got old real fast.  Because of all of this they eventually gave up and just tried not to use the term, and if it slips in "oh well".  This was explained in numerious interviews as well as the "talk back" letters at the end of the comics.

The first kept hydrated, that's more important than food :)

Valid points though and I was thinking of more "infected person" than "undead" in the starvation thing
