Endtown by Aaron Neathery for December 21, 2012

Miss Holly will take care of the situation. She looks determined. Hate to be on the receiving end.

Panel three: Come on, Aaron. Even that’s too sweet for Holly.

Erotic catfighting? What did we miss?BTW, it looks like this time Linda was the better. I don’t see a scratch on her. Not so for Valerie.

A big surprise for us. That expression on Holly’s face. Love it. Great way to wait 74 hours. Blessed Be

UH, if there are 74 hours. I anticipate the return of what ever alien creature stood posture for the carvings on the temples.Hmmmm? Blessed Be

Maurice fought in the war. Which war, I wonder?Just a throwaway comment, but it adds to the rich complexity of the background.

Holly’s the smallest, and she’s the one I’d be most scared of!

time to release the Inner RAT

Indeed, the war and hand-to-handBrings thoughts of history to mindPerhaps Maurice has stories plannedAnd his own story to unwindIt seems that Holly missed a trickShe didn’t quite anticipateThat her crewmates would punch and kickNow they might tremble at their fate=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooThe Endtown ForumThe Endtown AuctionThe Endtown Books

Linda’s just proven something to herself. She does care about living, after all, and is considering her ability to do her job without harassment, worth defending. That’s a big first step. Holly will lower the boom on all of them, but I suspect she’s secretly pleased with Linda’s sudden will to live and function in End Town.

Waitresses may get a lot of grief from customers, and that could have been a test, or it may have been an effort to protect their turf for tips. Linda is supposed to be to do almost anything she wants, according to the aptitude test. Anyway, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog”, like when sweet little Holly took down Flask/Blackie. Whether Linda remains a waitress, I think she just turned an important corner.Remember to vote early and often for this strip, Endtown 2.0 at topwebcomics.com, and Doc Rat also. If you want, we can help promote Aaron by voting for Endtown 1.0 so Aaron has two comics on the first page. For that matter we *could vote for Entown 2.0 (the typo), and with enough effort we could have Aaron on page 1 three times, but the webmaster at topwebcomics asked that we not vote for the typo, and so far this month it only has three votes, so we have pretty much honored the webmaster’s request, and avoided their wrath. Thanks, JusSayin

“Bwa ha! Your hand-to-hand combat is no match for my eye-fu!”

The waitresses will be no match either. If looks could kill…

Big soulful eyes routine…a classic!

Do we get to be a “fly-on-the-wall” when Holly gets those three alone? Happy Friday, all!

We’ll have to wait till monday to find out what happens next.

Don’t discount the French in fighting. One of the best counter terrorist groups is the GIGN. I know I’ve worked with them. They are like us Troopers here in Texas, a militarized police force with counter terrorism training and police arrest powers. Dien Bien Phu was actually a victory from a military point of view. They fought till they could no longer continue without just dying hand to hand. Completely surrounded for weeks and held out. The NVA and Viet Cong took heavy losses just trying to capture the position. They got the no fight rap from WWII. It was not the soldier who failed there it was the command leadership holding onto WWI tactics and procedures that crumbled leaving the soldier with no guidance. The blitz could not be contained without decisive action and none came from command.And he is a chef. Can you imagine how he would handle an edged weapon? And I agree with mr_sherman. That Holly is entirely tooooooo cute. (I think that is the most cartoony I have seen our author go lol). And as far as erotic cat fighting. He is French and nearly every thing to them is erotic one way or the other. I would expect no less from the Chef. And they are completely at the mercy of feminine charms. They can’t help it.And the Mayans were dead wrong.Now the fiscal cliff is real and coming but the day will dawn and life will go on.

HURK! I just got “The Diabetus” from panel 3.

Panel 4: LInda seems to have a smile. Is she coming around?

lol

The eyes have it.

So much for sisterhood of the bean. Holly cant pin this one on linda but she might get a dose for her temper

HA! Bitches picked a fight with the wrong teddy bear. Funny how he called it erotic cat fighting despite the fact that none of them are cats and their clothes stayed on…

Erotic catfighting? Like I said yesterday: “Dinner and a Show”.Stay tuned next week for the reviews…

Mr. Neatherly, sir?Do you realize that if you stare at Panel 3 for too long, you risk getting cavities?You’ll be hearing from my dentist.

Their fate is in Holly’s hands?It may be the end of the world as they know it yet…

Maybe all this could’ve been avoided if Holly had just given Linda this look when Linda and Doug were trying to harvest their brains…“Let us go! Pweeze?” “Oh, all right, off you go now.”

How does that song go…?♫♫ Jeepers CreepersWhere’d you get those peepers? ♫♫♪♪

Holly Mousey looks SO cute!

Holly’s no dumb blonde. I would have expected a “por moi, se vous plez?”Pardon my french spelling.And her expression would be with half-closed eyes.

But then again, that’s my fantasy.

Perhaps Maurice is missing out on a business opportunity here. A little erotic catighting might take people minds off the beans!

This last day thing.OK. The 21 is listed. Which means that it exists in Whole, complete. However, 22 is not listed therefore, IT is the " last day" that exists. Get it???Blessed Be.

@ Aaron- – -panel 3 is too cute for words!!!

I LOVE it!

KUTGW,

Noreen

Is Maurice a turtle? He reminds me of Churchy LaFemme…

Open call to Aaron N. Want to purchase several prints (5). Email me the process for it. Will also bid for the next origional. At your pleasure Mr Neathery.Thank youJacob N. Silverwolf

I asked Aaron about this once, he told me that “Endtown” takes place in an alternate reality from ours (one of Aaron Marx’s parallel universes if you will) with different technologies and historical events. My understanding is that Endtown itself is located in the “city state” (Aaron’s words) of Hilside which is located near/on the east coast of what we might recognize as the continental United States. The technologies are fairly diverse including the incredibly advanced stuff for those who have the means (Think Transporters with their self repair modules and hoverscouts) and much cruder stuff for the general public. I was also told that culture/dress ect… tends to be in the mode of our mid 20th century, thus we have people who are familiar with Sr. Wences and George and Gracie but not Rock and Roll. I don’t recall being told a time frame, but I think that we’re probably closer to the present day than say the 23rd century. Any coments Aaron?

“Girls, have you ever stuck your face into a cheese that was bigger than your head? Well, I HAVE, so there!”

On Maurice and the War…if he was the cook, he was probably the most feared and hated man in his outfit.

TSOJ Lives! I saw a post on yesterday’s Brewster Rockitt. Must be busy, I know a few posters went out of town, and one even went halfway around the world.

I think i saw Maurice cooking for my regiment when i was in the Foreign Legion

You are all quite welcome. Myself and a number of associates from a UNC project have been focussing our psi and chi energy to avert the apocalypse. Next project is to avoid a brontosaurus hailstorm headed across the universe towards the Memphis area, but we are not certain if they are headed to Tennessee and triggering the New Madrid fault, or Memphis, Greater Egypt, to disrupt those pyramid shaped orbit stabilizers.Do not worry, The Age of Aquarius is still coming in about 546 years and three months, and humans play a major role there. We have seen the future and it looks erm, interesting. Keep a stock of clean underwear, because there will turbulence by April 15 of some year.JusSayin

Havng worked with microtubes, though larger than what Aaron is mentioning, getting much smaller causes more problems than they’re worh. Actually, transistor technology is a throwback to the crystal radio and re-examining the properties of the diode action in the crystal. The math, physics and technology to create transistors was available, but expensive for the time. Working with the Edison effect was simpler and easier to understand. Also, electricity wasn’t at a premium. When the scale gets too small, space between different parts of the vacuum tub interfere with each other. Before Dolby sound reduction, stereos did a lot to minimize noise and other interference. Some of the BEST sound systems were in the 1970’s and they used transistors, not vacum tubes. Technology lesson over.

SurfStuff55 replied: “We COUNT on it, actually Ooops giving away the feminine mystique there” Especially us socially males inept with females we desire. Some may be quite capable of dealing with organizations, groups and individuals EXCEPT the one who already had us on the line at the time. Between Holly’s look in the “Power of Miceness” in your earlier link, and Holly’s look in P3, I have spent a fortune on ladies. And would not have missed it for anything. When I first was floored with the news I had CML at age 50 and did not have long, I especially went to get the Buffet song you used before as a sig line, either here or at Doc Rat’s CrossTimeCafe forum. I also got some Warren Zevon stuff, especially looking for “Lawyers, Guns and Money”. @EVERYONE: If you need an escape during the holidays, first vote, vote, vote and vote again, for Endtown 2.0, Doc Rat (www.docrat.com.au) and Endtown 1.0. While voting a few hundred times, you might want a little distraction. I found a thread at Doc Rat’s forum http://crosstimecafe.comviewtopicphp?f=30&t=3735&sid=bcdaf78e889397a199928a33b44778e7

dealing with the unique charms of Oz. It has some very entertaining links about the "strange, bizarre and wonderful things about Australia. If the link does not work, go to Jenner’s Doc Rat, read the comic, scroll down and click on banner for CrossTimeCafe Doc Rat forum, and look for " OT: oy, oy, oy Australia." It is a good read for a good while. Oh, and check out Welsh Halfwit’s avatar. I believe he is in Oz right now, and I don’t know if he remembered to bring a stick(cf the Douglas Adams essay link in that forum on Australian fauna: the odd, the poisonous and sheep).Happy Wonderful New World and Era to ALL.JusSayin

gocomics needs an edit function.

I wonder if Aaron does special conmisions…would love to see Holly and Wally in Steeler or Penguin jerseys! :-)
