Here you can see how finished graphics were doctored to make other characters without you having to start from scratch. It would save no end of time. Flick back and forward between this and the last screen showing Lori.

The first 6 frames at the bottom are how he would appear to die on the screen. The black, negative outline graphics are called 'masks' and were required by the programmer to enable each graphic to pass over background graphics without making it disappear.

A mock up screen made of the very first day of the project. Printed in a magazine using the WRONG colours. I had, childishly, put a graphic of a used tampon (6th graphic block along the bottom) in the screen. The magazine had obviously spotted this, changed the colours, thus making the red end green. Ahem!
A later screen, but still just a mock up. Printed in a magazine. I thought I'd write 'CUCUMBER' just to see if it got printed, and it did.
