The comic did not spend as much "down" time on the farm, so didn't have that loss of intensity like the TV show did the first half of Season 2. It was one "holy $h!#!!" moment after another in the beginning. I think some of the stuff from the comic probably cannot be shown on TV, though, as it might be too graphic and too dark.

A fine example, except when you consider how Rick would be dead, munched on by Zombie Shane, if the kid weren't there!
Running out alone in the ZA is a bad idea, except when it saves people's lives.
But, maybe they'll use one of the chains from Michonne's pets on Carl. That'd fix the wandering...
Well, they're near a prison- maybe they can find one of those taser vests/belts/harnesses some jurisdictions use when transferring prisoners. Wander off and *tzzzzzap*!

I hear that. There was a point after the introduction of the Governor where I simply couldn't continue reading the comic. I felt Kirkman just took things a bit too far.
speaking of vests/belts/harnesses. Way back in Season 1, episode 1, Rick, Morgan & Duane went back into the police station and they were able to procure a ton of ammo, as well as a bunch of guns. There were no bullet proof vests around, or any other sort of body armor? Wouldn't that be kind of useful against zombies ripping you open?
A Dickey jumpsuit, fireman outfit...there are a number of items that are tough enough to prevent zombies from biting and ripping you open.
Charging the capacitors might be a bit tricky. But hey, jail cells! Not much better for keeping him from wandering off, is there?
In a Georgia summer, you can't go around wearing most of those forms of armor 24/7, unless you want to die of heat stroke. And, under current conditions, that means they'd come back as an *armored* zombie. What fun!
Also, the effectiveness of armor really depends on the strength of the Walkers. I mean, humans use knives and swords and such because we're actually pretty lousy at ripping things apart with our bear hands. The Walkers, then, would seem to be substantially stronger than a normal person.
Bullet proof vests are designed to protect against bullets and are protect poorly against knives and the like unless you use plates like the military does. Unless the police department the vests are worried about knife attacks the vests obtained will only slow the walker down a little. Maybe enough the Hersal might have saved Dale.
In watching Deadliest Warrior, the final episode last year had Vampires vs Zombies and they had indicated that since zombies don't have pain receptors anymore, they're not inhibited by normal human restraints so can often be stronger than humans. (Of course, if they're not inhibited, they're also more likely to suffer breaks, dislocations, etc, which would weaken them. Heck, I'm guessing several zombies suffered some injury pouring over that fence last week)
Deadliest Warrior is normally a show that pits two historical figures against each other and does a lot of scientific analysis of their weapons & tactics. This was a radical departure for them.

Over at CircvsMaximvs, someone pointed out that if Lori had gotten herself killed in that car accident, we'd be down one manipulative whiner, and up one marksman ex-cop. And Carl would probably have learned a lesson about not wandering off and getting yourself killed.
