    Well, she has enough sense not to get Maude into trouble.But I still think you’d buy chocolate cake on the BROWN market.

    I suspect somehow, though, the birth of this cake is going to sit uneasily in the belly of the Endtown community, starting a brushfire in the manner of the pebble that sets off the avalanche of mixed metaphors.

    Hey!! Linda doesn’t get to taste it herself? Boo hiss.

    My sister has a recipe for cookies made with oatmeal flour. You run it in the blender until it is powder. Mix with m and ms. Sound good. I finally found out why I always have the urge to sing “America” every night about this time. My neighbor watches 1930s movies or so.The music is very good and loud. And the radio goes off the air at this time. Wow. I thought I was going music muddled. Aaron how did the cake taste. Surely you tried it?Blessed Be

    It looks something like this:Please bid on it or buy the print. Aaron needs the financial help.Or, if you like real serenading, get this one as a print.

    Linda’s final answer is interesting. It was not just for Hopper…sometimes the very act of giving makes us feel better in so many ways..so she benefited from the gesture as well.

    So Jenner starts a roll of mossAnd gives an inch or moreAt metastory, he’s the bossBut what’s a meta for?You’d think that Linda’s coworkerWould really take the cake(There is a “cow,” but it’s not her)For “real food” she must acheA cake needs egg, as Larson provedAnd often sacrificeThe smell of beans has people movedThis scent must be quite nice=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooThe Endtown ForumThe Endtown AuctionThe Endtown Books

    Just how much “harvesting” did Linda do as a Topsider? It could be really dark here if Linda harvested or mindwiped a Baker named Trudy.Perhaps Linda is just saying she did it because she can see the humanity beyond the fur, and it is an act of atonement or humanity. As always, please use SurfStuff55’s and Level_Head’s links to promote this strip Endtown2.0, Jenner’s strip Doc Rat(I have a fear Julian is about to find out no good deed goes unpunished. WWW.docrat.com.au/) and the original Endtown over at topwebcomics.

    Since I’m new to this strip, why the need to buy cake ingredients on the black market? Is it wartime?

    Her statements do infer a black market operating in Endtown. That is a common occurrence in times like these. This also confirms that there is a control of commodities and such control generates a black market. The common commodities are dolled out to the population while more desired commodities are kept back. Reasons would differ from greed, rewarding, bargaining, and such. As I mentioned before there are probably individuals patrolling the restaurants looking for suspected black market operations. That would be the reason to not eat the cake. It would be evidence. Seized when Mr. Hopper returns with security. Like I said I am suspicious as it is my nature. Mr. Hopper does portray a kind old man seeking lost feelings. Like a Narc pretending to be a drug user. It could all be an act. We know Linda did not use the black market per se. She had gathered the ingredients on her own but are there rules about that we do not know?We shall see.

    Aaron,

    Just read your comments on yesterday. Glad to hear that the leg is improving a bit. A lot of us are praying that you keep the leg and are able to keep on. Please continue to hang in there.

    “Exactly. It’s box mix that I got on the black market…” The cake is a lie!

    Meg could ultimately swing either way regarding this cake, especially if she finds out how it was made. I’m hoping that she will side with Linda, and that the two of them can become close friends (because boy does Linda need friends!) I don’t have a strong enough grasp on Meg’s character to tell for sure just yet.

    Actually I hope that the cake does cause some problems. Nothing like a good story hook.

    I was wondering. Have you checked out a new comic called Oyster Wars? It is just beginning to fire up. Kind of story based on the Oyster Wars of the Chesapeake Bay. Really clever.

    Buzz, shouldn’t that be “an” heir? Or is it, perhaps, an Endtown Heirless?

    isnt Dr Mallard also working on other food sources like hydroponics and algae growing? I think i remembered that back in the beginning of the Endtown Missile Crisis. Mayor Walter was there in that meeting, but gods knows why. He really doesnt do much
