    Yup, he’s a bastard XD

    Are those pajamas available in XXXL in the gift shop?

    It’s been a while, so let me ask: Did we get a reason for him to WANT Susie dead? Not to backseat, but if we didn’t, I’m worried were about to move into “Stupid Evil” territory. Now, stupid happens, don’t get me wrong. It’s not bad storytelling for that to be the case here.

    You’ve just done a good job NOT having that be a driving factor, so the “Kill off the stars of my successful reality TV show.” seems shortsighted, otherwise. Oh, I guess I could be mistaken about the in-story reality TV show’s success. Like, if the company behind them is losing money, or they think a change in management at the ranch would make the whole thing more popular/profitable, then I can see the above scenario happening as well.

    I REALLY think I’m just forgetting something important, but that I don’t have time to deep dive to remind me of, hence the comment. >_<

      It certainly has been stretched out over quite a while, but there have definitely been hints from quite near the beginning that whoever is running the reality TV show definitely wants her dead.

      But I certainly don’t recall any reason why.

        Yeah it’s fair to not remember since it’s been a hot minute (many, many minutes) but if you feel like a refresher the most relevant bits would be the beginning of Episode 8 and the end of Episode 15. We haven’t explicitly spelled out exactly what The Exec means by his “side hustle” or who was on the other end of that phone call, though.

        I’m hoping that when the whole thing is eventually available it will make sense, or at least enough sense to have hung this narrative on.

558 – Cotton Clad Calamity

What would you call this? Armchair assassination? Merk-from-home?

Well, Suzie ain't dead (or undead) quite yet, so we'll just have to see if his gloating is justifiable.

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.
