    Why am I not surprised.

  2. Scarsdale

    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/

  3. RC

    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. Crazyman

    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?

    1. TKG

      Except Datura doesn’t do that. You’re thinking of the compound Scoplolmine (AKA the devil’s breath) which generally comes from a specific plant, Borrochero (Brugmansia arbora) that is native to Columbia that the gang in question probably would have had access to. It’s active compound obliterates free will, your conscious, you can function as normal but you are totally open to suggestion which is what happened to McCarty here. Datura just makes you trip mad balls and maybe die, but it does not make you a puppet.

  6. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    Me lleva la chingada !

  7. TKG

    I’m betting money there’s no one in that bed and it’s a ruse to get him caught.

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!

Bringing ’em back…

There are very few sources I trust for entertainment news, especially given today’s emphasis on scoop over substance, but The Hollywood Reporter is one of them. If it’s a headline from them, it tends to be vetted and accurate and I pay attention. If I saw one of the more iffy media sites out there declaring that Alfred Molina was going to be reprising his role as Doctor Octopus for the next Spider-Man film, I would shrug. The one and only time he suited up for that was nearly two decades ago and it seems like just the sort of vaguely rumored nostalgia clickbait best not rewarded with a… well, click. But there it is from THR: Molina will be welcomed back to the Spider-franchise with ah, open arms. Jamie Foxx as Electro as well, which means we’re now potentially mixing-and-matching three iterations of Sony’s Spider-films. Benedict Cumberbatch will be appearing as Doctor Strange. Are we going multi-versal? Spider-versal? I mean, that already happened, but not in live action. Mining the past seems to be in fashion, if the above news and also recent episodes of The Mandalorian are any indication. Who am I to buck the trend? We first mentioned Wall Wardens waaay back at the beginning of Episode/Issue 2, and here we are a decade later in real time finally getting to some actual “footage” of the show. It’s not quite the fanfare return some of these other franchises are having, but hey, proud to be on the bandwagon nonetheless.
