UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  1. Some friction, but yeah. IRL, I’d like these two…they should have kids. 😉

    1. I might have to draw out what their kid would look like. First thought is that their kid would look like Ongo Gablogian from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”

    2. He’s pushing 60, she’s maybe 30, more likely less. Chuck is most likely shooting blanks, and besides, he’s talking to her like a baby sister than a love interest.

  2. It is really hard to have a favorite character, as there are so many good ones. But I think Rosa is my favorite. Chuck is a good accomplice in sneaking work, but not much for romance. Uugh.

  3. I mean, if they don’t have at least an inkling of what’s going down, I’m actually disappointed in Clearstream. If anything, I’m starting to wonder if they caught on and realized “Wait, we can use this.”

    Because of course they can. 😉

  4. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    I’m way ahead of you – I’ve been waiting for you to catch up. From November 2020:
    I would hope for nothing less – her and Chuck have the potential for a great deal of positive mischief.
    Speaking of which, I received the email notifying me that my order for the NSFW “Chuck and Rosa Finally Do It” (age verification required) limited edition hardcover is going to be delayed due to the pandemic. I think it’s really cool that you’ll be adding some additional stretch goal goodies when it ships – thanks for all your story and art.
    As for the inscription, ” We owe it all to you ” will be sufficient.

542 – Catching Up

Science (fiction) marches on…

Ever watched an old movie or television show featuring “future” technology and chuckled because, for example, they considered a phone that didn’t need to be plugged into a wall to be a big deal? Some things like Star Trek‘s replicators or transporters remain the realm of science fiction, but other speculative fiction often falls prey to the march of time. No one’s reanimating dead tissue a la Dr. Frankenstein yet (that I know of, anyhow), but Jules Verne’s flight of fancy about massive submersible vehicles of war didn’t take long to become a reality. Speaking of reanimating tissue, though… https://mashable.com/article/kfc-3d-printed-chicken-nuggets/ American fast food chain KFC has announced plans to debut 3D printed chicken nuggets made from a mix of plant matter and meat grown in a lab. In other words, basically meat cloned from chicken cells. That sort of tech is something we posited for the Zombie Ranch world seeing as livestock is mostly a memory of the past, and now here it is in the, err, flesh. Honestly, this sort of thing makes me wonder if the replicators aren’t too far-fetched, after all? No breakthrough on those transporters, though, so figure on still getting from place to place the hard way for the foreseeable future.
