UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  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?

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!

“Take ’em to Missouri!”

So the great John Wayne instructs his son in the movie “Red River“. Of course his son ends up taking the cattle to Kansas; similarly, we must defy The Duke’s command and drive our zombies down to Long Beach, instead. The sneak preview print run is done and came out quite nicely, as did our swag stickers. Nothing left to do now but take ’em to market and see how it goes. The exhibit floor opens at 3pm Friday, which if we’ve set things right should also be the moment our first page for the comic goes live on this very site. We may not know about that until tomorrow evening since our Internet access will be limited at best out there, so bear with us. One thing we’re very jealous of is that, due to us being busy all this weekend, a great many of you will be getting out to see “Zombieland” before we do. But don’t spare our feelings, it looks like a heckuva lot of fun. In fact, if you feel like telling us about it, sign up for our forum and make a post under the “Brain Food” section. I suppose a spoiler tag would be in order, although I myself am more of a journey person regardless of if I know the destination. It’s ticked over past midnight as I’ve been writing this. Today is now the day. Time to get some shut-eye so we can get those zombies wrangled and moving along in the morning. Long Beach ain’t as far as Missouri but L.A. freeways have their own perils to contend with.
