we whisper and the dead don\'t mind the dead don't care either way if zombies talk/whisper

Explanation:
zombies are not supposed to talk at all but these ones do...However, the dead don't care either way since they're dead (and definitely not talking!) so...you'll see, when you're dead yourself that you won't care if zombies talk or whisper!

My reading anyway!

In the issue, fans learn that walkers were not actually talking but there was living, breathing people disguised among them. How did they camouflage themselves among the herd, you ask? Well, it turns out that a group of survivors covered themselves in zombie skin to blend in with the undead
