    Ut-oh. Yup, now there will be a different kind of grilling going on in the cafe. And Linda will be the grillee. Ouch! Is using people’s ‘bodily fluids’ verboten? Or is it just considered icky?

    If Meg is not too greedy, Meg and Linda could put together an exclusive speakeasy dining club and Linda could have a partner, or maybe a friend. Who am I trying to fool? Linda is up for her third brawl.*Remember to VOTE @ topwebcomics for Endtown2.0, Doc Rat and Endtown 1.0 too. Apologies to SurfStuff55 and Level_Head for relying on them for the links, but much gratitude for their efforts at promoting a wonderful, fascinating strip. Oh, and congratulations to Surfie, I see Kathy over at CarryOn(a strip about hyenas) named a lamb for her.Thanks All, JusSayin

    We don’t know if Linda took the cake home or stashed it on a shelf. I hope it is safe. Trying to figure out what she should say about the milk. a few drops of Milk in a thermos is very distinctive. I hope she can convince everyone that their diet could be improved with a bit of charity on all their parts. I guess the ones who don’t produce anything edible, or valuable in other ways would soon be called free-loaders.

    Or is that Meg? Before all we saw of Meg was hair parted down the middle covering the eyes. This is the waitress beat up earlier.

    Same on you Linda, a good waitress cleans up before the next shift comes on duty. Now we Know that trouble is going to arise. Nothing like a little vengeance.I watched the new episode of BEING HUMAN tonight. OK everybody out of their supposed personal deaths, however it was a bit over macabre for me. Introduced us to a witch who brings back the life. Ugh…. I hope it calms out. AT this point all the vampires are dying after drinking human blood from people who had just had the flue. OOOOKKKKKay I can say with all firmness that witches DON’T DO THINGS LIKE THAT AND I PLAN TO PROTEST TO THE DIRECTOR.Blessed Be

    I’m assuming that Kathy Garrison (creator of Carry On) is one of the members of the Doc Rat forum. A number of the other animals in the photos are named after other Crosstime Cafe regulars.

    Linda works the graveyard shift. She should still be there. Valerie is the one coming in early, possibly. Valerie will be out for revenge.

    Whoever she is (I’ll believe she is Valerie when a character calls her such directly) she smells cow’s milk. But as a female mammal she can produce her own, can’t she? All mammal-based female anthros should be able to produce milk, right? Would it all be fit for consumption?

    Hey JusSayinRead your comment from yesterday. Very good observation. Entrapment defense. Heard that before from drug dealers selling to undercover officers. “I would not have done that if I knew he was a cop!” the most common statement. It could hold as it is Linda’s first time and her intentions were good. As for the Security Rats. They are capable. At tearing things up. The Lizard lady. She would do a good job. Maude as the Godmother of crime. Hmmmmmmmm.Big Bad Mama? I don’t think she knew the milk was for cake. I think she thought it was for Linda and oatmeal. Like I mentioned before. This has to have been known about in general. Why has it been left untapped? Mores, morals, thought of as “dirty”, loss of “humanity”? Look at it this way. If here now food was running short would you ask a lactating woman with a child to spare a cup? It is food. It is nutritious. But the thought of it? From a cow, goat, horse (Mongolia), musk oxen, reindeer (Finland) that is okay. From a human female? Think on that. They may be anthros but they are still human.

    Some of the other comments made me wonder, was all life on Earth killed off except for humans? Or did all the other animals, birds, insects, etc. mutate into monsters as well? I know, it’s not core to the story, but this is the stuff I wonder about on a snowy day without much work to do… :)

    I base a treatment turning into a virus based on Bladerunner.The Nexus were only programmed to live 4 years before the body they were housed in died. There is a exchange between the creator and a nexus where they go on about how to stop the process. The creator states that each time a treatment was tried a “virus” was produced that was so lethal the subject died before it left the table.Wally’s past indicated he was shown the sick ones being cared for in a hospital. They were suffering from Disease X. It had two results. One was complete desiccation of the body the other turning completely to dust. The doctors and medical staff would just not sit and watch. I imagine they tried all kinds of things to stop or reverse the Disease X. In the attempts they could have made a “virus” that became the virus we see now. It got out creating havoc resulting in a final solution of complete destruction to try to eradicate the virus. It survived and just as lethal. Topsiders believe the source are the mutants. Wipe them out and the virus is gone. But the mutants were affected by the virus so the virus is in the environment not in the mutants. Killing all of them will not solve the problem. A virus can go dormant for a very long time and survive. This the reason even today the moon rocks are handled as if they are dangerous. Bring back rocks or dirt from Mars raises some questions of safety.

    I don’t know. I would not go in those tunnels at night. Not unarmed at any rate. Radiation is radiation. Those things could be as big as people. Have their own gangs. Run the streets. Pick fights with the rats. You see that has been a question. There are a lot of rats. Did they come from humans (in which case all cops turn to rats) or did they develop from the rat population? There are a lot of them.

    Probably meant to but surprised by Mr. Hopper’s reaction she forgot. Just she did not expect this waitress to be inquisitive. But she does have a “nose” for trouble.

    Red velvet cake recipes contain cocoa and red food coloring. Some people short cut by adding food coloring to chocolate cake mix.We make a green velvet cake on St Patrick’s Day, same flavor.
