Oh, I didn't know in the comics Dale's wife was killed from the geeks. Just was going on from him saying she died of cancer. I never read them. Unless he's just saying that until the truth comes out. I know they aren't sticking to the books 100%. No adaptation from comics/books ever do. They seem to be giving people a little back story here and there. I am hoping, as someone suggestion on Talking Dead, that they do a prequel of sorts for more background. I think that would make a lot of what the characters are doing, make more sense.
