    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/

    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.

    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?

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!

One down, one to go.

Happy news for your humble proprietors… since Dawn and I work our day jobs as part of California’s educational system we qualified to get our COVID vaccinations done. First shot was last Wednesday, second will be early April. We’ll still be telecommuting for the time being but I’m okay with that. I think I honestly adapted better than most, what with already being antisocial and enjoying spending hours at my computer desk. Antisocial might be the wrong term. Selectively social? I do like the occasional hangout with friends and I’ve missed visiting some of my restaurant haunts. Other than that, online gaming plus chat via Discord has really seemed to fill my interaction needs. In fact I’ve really come to appreciate playing “tabletop” RPG like Dungeons & Dragons remotely, because helper apps like D&D Beyond and Roll 20 exist and have really streamlined the experience, and meanwhile we can use Discord to shitpost commentary and GIFs while it’s happening. If we were sitting around a table we’d be rightly expected to shut the hell up at some point so the DM could talk and/or hear. One campaign Dawn and I have been playing in has been entertaining enough there are thoughts of jumping on the Podcast bandwagon with it. We’ll see how that goes. In the meantime we plug along, but hooray for virtual socialization. It’s been a rough year but just hearing the voices of your friends can go a long way.
