UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

    Some friction, but yeah. IRL, I’d like these two…they should have kids. 😉

    1. Dawn

      I might have to draw out what their kid would look like. First thought is that their kid would look like Ongo Gablogian from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”

    2. Scarsdale

      He’s pushing 60, she’s maybe 30, more likely less. Chuck is most likely shooting blanks, and besides, he’s talking to her like a baby sister than a love interest.

        Up in these hills, sometimes family is all y’gots. 😉

    It is really hard to have a favorite character, as there are so many good ones. But I think Rosa is my favorite. Chuck is a good accomplice in sneaking work, but not much for romance. Uugh.

  3. Otaku

    I mean, if they don’t have at least an inkling of what’s going down, I’m actually disappointed in Clearstream. If anything, I’m starting to wonder if they caught on and realized “Wait, we can use this.”

    Because of course they can. 😉

  4. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    I’m way ahead of you – I’ve been waiting for you to catch up. From November 2020:
    I would hope for nothing less – her and Chuck have the potential for a great deal of positive mischief.
    Speaking of which, I received the email notifying me that my order for the NSFW “Chuck and Rosa Finally Do It” (age verification required) limited edition hardcover is going to be delayed due to the pandemic. I think it’s really cool that you’ll be adding some additional stretch goal goodies when it ships – thanks for all your story and art.
    As for the inscription, ” We owe it all to you ” will be sufficient.

    Partners in crime! 😈

    A crime so perfect she went full on wall-eye!

542 – Catching Up

The best kind of happenstance

Posted on February 19, 2014 by Clint
WARNING: PERSONAL INDULGENCE AHEAD. AND SOME MUSH. As I write this blog it is Tuesday, February 18th, and at the risk of invoking a heaping helping of “we don’t care” from the readership, I must mention this is a significant date. Nine years ago on this date, you see, Dawn and I said our marriage vows and signed the paperwork with the grand old State of California to make them official. What does that have to do with the Zombie Ranch? Depending on your perspective, I suppose everything, or nothing. Some people plan (or at least try to plan) their lives out to a greater degree than others, but happenstance still has a huge part to play. Coins flip heads or tails, pebbles lead to avalanches, butterflies stir up hurricanes, and whether or not you believe in some force or fate that guides the outcomes, the end results still occasionally leave us wondering, for better or worse: “What if…?” Heck, Marvel Comics used to have a whole series titled just that, and there have been plenty of other works exploring the concept, such as Run Lola Run where we see the events of an afternoon end up in three very different ways just because of tiny variations like what exact second a car pulls out of an alleyway. People live or die because of those moments. Or in our case they meet, and start dating, and move in together, and get married, and eventually start a comic. The last bit might have been the most predictable outcome, even though it still took us four years to get around to it. There was an artist searching out a writer, and a writer who had forgotten about trying to write… not exactly a shocker twist ending. But the beginnings? All sorts of decisions both big and small, all sorts of circumstances–you might say two lifetimes’ worth–jumbled together to get us where we are today. I look at my life and can certainly see room for improvement. I absolutely have my share of regrets and bad decisions. But give me a time machine and I’ll give it right back unused, because all that happenstance, good and bad alike, conspired to hook me up with the woman I love. And I ain’t ever messing with a single butterfly of that.
