    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…

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!

What do they know and when do they know it?

Writers are kind of like the gods of their creations. We speak sometimes of characters going “off script” and writing themselves against our expectations, but let’s face it, if we really wanted to we could smite that free will right out of them. We are the omniscient beings, looking into all the heads, knowing (mostly) where the paths will lead. Jeez, that’s a lot of pressure. No but seriously, I had to pause in the midst of writing this week’s installment of the comic in order to go back through the archives and make sure if Lacey was present or not when Frank gave Chuck and Rosa his dictate that Rosa was never to leave Chuck’s side. Turns out that yes, Lacey was, and that makes a big difference in the subtext of the current scene even if she doesn’t end up bringing it up to Suzie out loud. If Lacey wasn’t there, then even though I know it and the audience knows it, Lacey would not. She’s not an omniscient being. She and the other characters still have to operate within the bounds of their own limited experience, and the writer has to continually be aware of and manage that. Omniscience, man. It’s a hell of a job.
