  1. Why am I not surprised.

  2. 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.

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

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

    2. 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. 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. Imagine his surprise when he stabs a pillow. 😜

  5. 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?

  6. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    Me lleva la chingada !

539 – A Knife In The Dark (END OF EPISODE 22)

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!

Here’s the new year (same as the old year?)

I’m by far not the only one to observe this but 2022 so far doesn’t seem much different than 2021. And yet, of course it is. My mom and aunt are gone and although our family Xmas celebration went as well as could be expected under the circumstances, it’s nigh impossible not to feel like it was a couple of stockings short. We’ve been feeling sick on and off ever since our convention outing, and some of it has been pretty draining even though any COVID testing we’ve done has come up negative. That said my day job is insisting on people being back in the office (despite escalating infections and the empirical fact that we successfully worked remotely for more than a year) so I can’t help but feel like it’s only a matter of time. Omicron is reportedly milder, especially if you’re vaxxed and boosted, but as someone who is diabetic, overweight, and suffering from sleep apnea I’m not looking forwards to the possibility of rolling the dice, so to speak. Anyhow, all this means morale at the ranch is still not at any sort of high point and sometimes is pretty low, but Dawn and I are taking all y’all’s advice and moving at a pace we can manage, figuring week to week how our “spoons” are doing. If my day work holds its course it means things will be getting busy very soon and the circumstances of that are going to be extra stressful, which might not be great for the creative juices. But before that we think we’ll be able to get this comic out and another in the week after. Health and spoons permitting.
