Welcome to Team Paranoid, Oscar! Spoiler alert: they really are out to getcha!
Next comic page planned for Nov. 20th. In the meantime, please accept this documentary evidence of new kitten Morgoth as he discovers the enigma that is the empty soda box.
Well, we got mentioned favorably in another blog, this time at A World on Fire. A common mistake was made where he put down our URL as zombieranch.com, rather than zombieranchcomic.com, but I can’t fault him for that. Embarrassingly enough, there’s still times I make that mistake myself, and I’m writing the dang thing!
Zombieranch.com, as far as I can tell, has been reserved since the year 2000 by Flying ~M~ Design, and since there are other completely different domain names that lead to that same (mostly) blank page, I suppose they’re just hanging onto the domains for whatever reason. I’m not even sure how we would have gone about contacting them since even flyingm.org just gives that same page. Maybe one day we’ll figure that out. Meantime, zombieranchcomic it is. Tell your friends. Tell people who aren’t your friends. Then flee while they’re still confused.
With the introduction of Frank and Zeke we’ve got some new faces on the Zombie Ranch. Within the next few weeks we’ll probably get a cast page up so people can keep track, but right now your dynamic duo are busy getting stickers and gummi candy brains together for this Friday’s Zombie Walk. Not to mention my wondrously whimsical wife has a special full-color sketch planned for posting on Halloween. If you feel like a sneak preview we decided to try out the whole ‘incentives’ feature on TopWebComics, but no worries, either way everyone stopping by on October 31st gets a treat in the form of Susannah Zane in Halloween garb.
After that we’ll be back on Wednesday Nov. 4th, but I’m particularly fond of our latest comic since we’re finally getting to some zombie handling, in the form of a bipedally modified, high-tech version of the cattle crushes they’ve used to immobilize livestock for many years. Those of you who have been wondering why zombies are ranched also get your first reason. By no means the only reason, but if you have any thoughts to share on what events a zombie rodeo might have, feel free.
I leave you with another picture that really inspired me in writing Zombie Ranch, probably in part because the cow looks almost zombified. Though of course if this rancher was touching a real zombie’s teeth, he’d best have his gloves on!
