Ya, I took the day off. I know I sort of took the day off when I was sick…but not really because I still drew a comic – though it wasn’t of the greatest of quality. But it was still […]

Ghosts of zombie ranch past…
It’s the holiday season, and Dawn is already happy as a zombie in brains because her Cintiq drawing tablet arrived. Unlike her previous tablet, the cat hasn’t chewed on the connection cord for this one (yet), so it should much […]

Cuz this is filler! Fil-lerrrrr night….
Here we see what happens when the artist, already smack in the midst of her final exams, catches the horrible head cold I suffered from last week. It’s a nasty bug that severely impairs your ability to do much more […]

Printing the legend
This week’s Western, courtesy of the fine folks at Netflix, was The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. It’s another John Ford directed classic, starring John Wayne, although this time around John Wayne gets to share the film with Jimmy Stuart […]

Open them Pod bay doors
It’s been an experimental week here at the Zombie Ranch. Some of you might know that Dawn goes live on Ustream from time to time, usually when she’s coloring the next page of the comic, and she’ll chat with whoever […]

Down with the sickness
The artist wife has been miserably sick this past week. It’s a fate I thankfully avoided, but if I tried to draw the comic as well as write it the results would be… well, let’s just say drunken chimpanzees come […]

Ain’t she sweet?
The little girl zombie (or LGZ as I call her for short) does seem to be a staple of the living dead genre. Heck, Night of the Living Dead started the trend, as well as the associated trend of the […]

Unto the 7th Son…
Hi all, Brief interlude here. Being listed on Topwebcomics.com has been helping us out a lot in terms of getting new eyeballs to our site (and thanks for all the votes! Keep ’em coming!). Anyhow, they recently put out a […]

Multiple signals…
There’s a wee bit of an in-joke in the latest page, concerning the ‘tracking number’ of the zombie. In the interest of letting other geeks like myself feel special I won’t explain it until next time, although I confess the […]

It only hurts when I groan…
I held off publishing any pictures of us from the Long Beach Zombie Walk, since the newest comic is really what gives the context for our appearance. You can’t see it from the photo, but the “bolts” actually did flash. […]

‘Twas the Night before All Saints…
And so here’s Halloween and our first “holiday” sketch for Zombie Ranch, a break both from our normal update schedule and our normal continuity. Solomon Kane is a character that might not be too well known out there right now, […]

A Halloween Crush
Well, we got mentioned favorably in another blog, this time at A World on Fire. A common mistake was made where he put down our URL as zombieranch.com, rather than zombieranchcomic.com, but I can’t fault him for that. Embarrassingly enough, […]

Whiskey for my men, beer for my zombies.
Now you might be wondering why I didn’t title our latest comic “Dawn of the Dead”, what with the obvious sleazy pun on the artist’s name. Well, that’s just it: too easy. I like to think I have my boundaries. […]

A horse is a horse, of course, of course…
Horses are terrifying. My artist has convinced me of this. Oh sure, I knew they could be dangerous. They’re big suckers. People can get crushed to death by a horse falling on them. There’s a good reason that for hundreds […]

Nut up or shut up.
Last night Dawn and I finally managed to get out and see Zombieland. If you loved Shaun of the Dead, you’ll love Zombieland. Okay, maybe some of you out there won’t. Maybe some of you didn’t even like Shaun of the […]

And we’re back!
The 1st Annual Long Beach Comic Con is over at last, and some of you reading this already have had a sneak peek of our first six Zombie Ranch pages! Or you just got the URL from a strip of […]

“Take ’em to Missouri!”
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. […]

Bumps on the trail
Now that the sneak preview is off to the presses, Dawn and I had a short chance to breathe and catch up on some sleep. We still have a ton of work to do before getting to our Artist’s Alley […]

Welcome to the ranch, pardners.
A good idea is much like a hungry zombie. It grabs hold of you and won’t stop until it has consumed your brain. My wife tends to have a lot of ideas, especially when she’s drawing in the middle of […]
