Sunday Edition Zombie is a zombie encountered in Modern Day of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is an upgraded version of Newspaper Zombie, with his newspaper having greater toughness.
Origins[]
The zombie is based on how the Sunday newspaper is usually larger. In addition, his description refers to the Sunday newspaper comics. It's usually a tradition for the newspaper comics to be larger and allow for more panels on Sundays.

Overview[]
The Sunday Edition Zombie absorbs 2290 damage in total. He degrades at 600, 900, 1800 (by that point, the newspaper is destroyed), and 2045 damage (where his arm is lost). He dies at 2290 damage. He deals 300 damage per second normally. His attacks and running speed are quintupled and quadrupled respectively when his newspaper has been destroyed.
Strategies[]
Sunday Edition Zombie is essentially Newspaper Zombie but better. In Modern Day. Instant kill plants like Grimrose are the best way to get rid of him, especially if there are multiple Sunday Edition Zombies on the field, since they do enough damage to defeat the zombie and don't even have to destroy the newspaper as they ignore it. Other viable choices include Shadow-shroom, Imp Pear, Chomper or Toadstool.
Slowing them with plants such as Sap-fling or Winter Melon or freezing them with Kernel-pult, Apple Mortar, Stunion or Iceberg Lettuce can help to mitigate damage caused by him. Hurrikale, Chard Guard, and Primal Peashooter are also good as they can knock him back, giving you more time to handle him. A Blover can be played in tandem with either Chard Guard or Primal Peashooter to blow the zombie away, preferably before it starts rampaging. Explode-o-nut and Hot Date are also useful, as they deal damage when destroyed, usually just enough to kill the zombie.
If you can, hypnotize them to use their health/rage to your advantage, as these effects also don't have to get past his Newspaper.
Note: Avoid using any lobbed shot plants that do not slow or stall zombies like Cabbage-pult, Blooming Hearts, Melon-pults, A.K.E.E.s or Spore-shrooms as Sunday Edition Zombies can easily destroy them while enraged. This is because their attack speed is slow and Sunday Edition Zombies are very fast, which will cause the projectiles to miss them. Also, avoid using Bloomerang, Electric Blueberry, Nightshade or Citron as they have low attack speed.

Trivia[]
- There's an Egyptian Treasure Yeti on his newspaper.
- When his newspaper is rotated 180 degrees, the newspaper's front cover is really the back cover, and thus, the title is at the end.
- On his Almanac icon and when the newspaper is in its second degrade, the word "FOUND!" can be seen written in white text below (above if the newspaper is rotated 180 degrees) the image of the Egyptian Treasure Yeti. On his picture in the mail inbox, he is not holding his regular newspaper, but he is not holding Newspaper Zombie's newspaper either. Instead, he seems to be holding a unique newspaper with a smaller, black-and-white image of the Egyptian Treasure Yeti on it.
- However, the "FOUND!" could be found in the game if he was boosted by dark potions or brains thrown by Cardio Zombie.
Specific to the Chinese Version (China only)[]
- He is the first veteran zombie to appear in this version.
- Before version 2.2.1, his eating speed did not increase when enraged. The same applied to Newspaper Zombie.
- His Almanac entry has some parodies of three Japanese comics. Those comics are Naruto, One Piece, and Gin Tama.
