    Why am I not surprised.

    Typical, it’s always someone else’s fault. Revenge is not just best served cold, but by stupid too. “This is all your fault!” Which is wrong, but in his head, it’s right.

      It’s also been heavily hinted he has already been brain washed by the zombie worshiping cult.

        Which, no doubt, made easier because of that under-lying feeling. People are always looking for a scape-goat…

      I don’t know if you got my callback by intent or not, but it’s great to see almost the same words echoed! https://www.zombieranchcomic.com/comic/203-breaking-worst/

  3. RC

    Honestly, probably the first time he’s ever taken control of and done ever in his life. There’s a reason why they kept him. Give a dog that’s been beat all its life a whiff of conference and control, you got a problem.

  4. Crazyman

    Imagine his surprise when he stabs a pillow. 😜

  5. Zombatar

    He isn’t in control, RC – he’s probably drugged to the very dilated eyeballs, probably with Datura. Back on p.443, Eustace is shown holding a Mojave Rattlesnake on a stick while the Brujefe milks it into a glass. Mojave venom A is a paralytic neurotoxin, like tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin was thought to be part of the legendary Haitian “zombie powder”. The other part was Datura, which contains scopalamine, which messes with memory and concentration, and is supposed to render victims docile and suggestible.
    The question is, where did he get his current dose, and did a little drone whisper in his ear?

    1. TKG

      Except Datura doesn’t do that. You’re thinking of the compound Scoplolmine (AKA the devil’s breath) which generally comes from a specific plant, Borrochero (Brugmansia arbora) that is native to Columbia that the gang in question probably would have had access to. It’s active compound obliterates free will, your conscious, you can function as normal but you are totally open to suggestion which is what happened to McCarty here. Datura just makes you trip mad balls and maybe die, but it does not make you a puppet.

  6. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    Me lleva la chingada !

  7. TKG

    I’m betting money there’s no one in that bed and it’s a ruse to get him caught.

539 – A Knife In The Dark (END OF EPISODE 22)
Posted on December 25, 2024 by Dawn

Happy Holidays, all! That's a wrap (heh) for Episode 22 just in time for a Christmas cliffhanger! Hope we don't twist the knife too much...

See y'all in 2025 when Zombie Ranch continues!

Yep, it got weird…

Sarah Palin dancing in a pink bear costume and singing “Baby Got Back” may just go down as my number one Harbinger of the Apocalypse. I joke at times that everything interesting happens on a Wednesday, i.e. the day after I publish this weekly blog, so that by the time I get around to writing the next one whatever it was might be old news or I might have just plain forgotten about it. This… I don’t think I’ll ever forget. And the dominos started falling fast after that. Trump’s speech where he went off prompt and caused a shaky Wall Street response, the NBA announcing they were canceling their entire Season… the next day a National Emergency officially declared, the day after that the Los Angeles Unified School District closed down, and over the weekend it just kept snowballing. Across the globe, shelves are now empty not only of toilet paper but other essentials that make more sense to this particular scenario, such as canned and frozen goods. The end of last week saw panic buying ramp into high gear in the States and elsewhere and there were reports of angry confrontations and even fist fights sprouting up in packed parking lots and picked over store aisles. We tried to buy a new thermometer on Friday. No dice… unless we wanted to pay $500 to some price gouger on Amazon. Oh, and the bars here (and many other places) were shut down just before St. Patrick’s Day. On the other hand, there are stories of compassion and communities pulling together in the face of crisis. People making sacrifices for what they hope is the greater good, taking the hardship hit up front in hopes of flattening the curve and preventing their own nations from getting hit as bad as Italy has. Stay safe and healthy out there. This will probably get worse before it gets better.
