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. 😉

    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

Nations and Revelations…

Posted on April 28, 2010 by Clint
I had the pleasure of some great email correspondence lately with some other zombie aficionados. First I want to give a shout to Carter Reid over at The Zombie Nation, who had sent me a contact back in March saying he was a fan of Zombie Ranch. Now, my email at that time somehow decided a contact form from my own website was spam and shunted it to the junk folder, where I only found it by accident a couple weeks later after one of Dawn’s emails shared the same fate. Fortunately, it was a case of better late than never, and Carter and I went on to have an interesting discussion about zombie flicks, in addition to doing the link exchange thing, etc. etc. Carter’s site isn’t just his comic but the site of his rather prolific blog, which is actually where I learned about the site of the second group. You might expect that anything combining zombies and westerns pings my radar (and you’d be right), but so far most of the examples of the genre fusion I’ve run across have been on the campy side of the equation. I’ll probably talk about a couple of those in blogs to come… Anyhow, enter Revelation Trail, a film and multimedia project in the works concerning the effects of a zombie outbreak in the American frontier of the 1880’s. I clicked on their “first look” link and was immediately drawn in, as I watched a scene depicting a man apparently so desperately lonely that he talks about the weather and his life to a zombie he’s caught in a bear trap. That sounds extremely campy as a concept, but it’s played straight, and–in my own damned opinion–it works. It’s the same sort of straightforward, humanistic style in the midst of the bizarre that I’ve tried to capture in Zombie Ranch. My only critical thought was it might have been even more powerful if he had gotten through his whole story and only then do we find out what he’s talking to, especially for trailer purposes… but that’s nitpicking. It was good stuff. Even more impressive were the animated diaries of “Lilith’s Story” which are part of the website’s promotional materials. I can’t say enough good things about these little pieces of art, but I feel like I’d be destroying the experience to do so. So I’ll just say: go watch them. They’re not long, but they show a lot of care in every aspect of their craftsmanship, including certain subtleties you may miss the first time if you blink. By the time I was done with the diaries, I had to write to the Revelation Trail team and gush. Then they wrote a long email back where, amongst other things, they said they came and checked us out here, and had some praise for Zombie Ranch in turn. Oh, and they mentioned they were greatly inspired by the movie Unforgiven, which if you know me at all (or have read this blog in the past), you know that’s a fantastic way to get on my good side. Not that they needed to after I’d seen their work, but it’s great to find that a group whose stuff you admire is as friendly as they are talented. Anyhow, time to cap off the gush. But Revelation Trail is just getting started, and since I stumbled on them through pure word of mouth (well, word of blog), here’s some further mention. Check them out, tell your friends, join their Facebook. I think they’ve got something really memorable in the works, here. http://www.revelationtrail.com/
