    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/

  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!

This blog is very sus.

So Among Us has been a bit of a fad lately. It’s basically a computer version of the classic Werewolf-style games where one (or sometimes two) people are secretly working to kill the rest of the group while the villagers (everyone else) try to figure out who the werewolves are before they all die. Among Us doesn’t have people covering their eyes or putting their heads down but instead has the crew having to roam through their ship or base fixing various broken systems. Eventually though, a dead body will be found and the finger pointing will begin. The Impostor(s) can only win by successfully throwing the rest of the crew off the scent until its deadly work is done and there’s not enough crewmates left to vote it out of the airlock. Among Us has become popular enough that the term “sus” started dispersing through memes and chatrooms. As you might guess it’s just really a shortening of “suspicious” but easier to type out in a time-limited body discussion session. sus red = “The red player was acting shifty and I suspect them of foul play” Anyhow I pondered about that since I was starting to see “sus” bleed out into general usage. How long before this gets added to the Oxford dictionary the way “frenemy” was? According to Google, my answer is apparently “over 200 years ago.” Yes, “sus” was a thing long before Among Us, which just goes to remind me that some things we think are newfangled concoctions of the youths are in fact something grandma might have said or done. Or maybe even we ourselves did but forgot, until we’re alone in Electrical and Red comes strolling around the corner…
