Endtown by Aaron Neathery for October 24, 2014

Sarah’s pause before using the term asleep, perhaps asleep is another word for put down like a rabid raccoon.Talk about making a complicated exit, this has gotten downright awkward.Well, there only one way out of this, Wally and Jim in the arena, two mammals enter one lizard leaves.

I guess she’s into guys with haircuts that went out of style in the 1500’s.

Poor, poor Jim, though. He gave up everything for love, and now love’s given him up for tall, green, and scaly with ambitions.

I think we’re way past “It’s not what it looks like” here.

Remember way back when Jim and Sarah first mutated? That period when they finally got to see each other outside their suits? That “holy sh*t” reaction from Jim, and the two of them storming out of the back area past Holly and Wally? Jim’s reaction wasn’t a good one, and it wasn’t in response to the “great sex” that they were speculated to have had by readers here. Jim and Sarah weren’t “made for each other”, and they haven’t had sex together yet. If Jim tries to stay by Sarah’s side, it’s not out of love, it’s “Chic Syndrome”.

She’s got a head start on you, Jim!

“Are you gonna believe what you see, or are you gonna believe what I tell you?”

He is a bit slow, but I think now he (thinks he) got it. Now lets see if he jump on someones throat or if he is broken already.As racoon I think the first one. And after this hopeless attempt, maybe Piotr would offer to help them, because he seems not to be a bad guy. Sarah would also support that, because Jim and the others doesn t fit in her plan she made in her mind.

Exclusively.

Ruh roh. A pissed off raccoon is not something you want to tangle with.

Next Week’s comic is just going to a big black censor bar that says “GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE HERE”. And probably a few word balloons like “Not to the face! Not to the face!” and “AH MY FACE!”

I am interested in the expression on Jim’s face in the last panel. He doesn’t looked p*ssed. More…interested to see where this goes. (IMHO)

I think Jim is enough in love with Sarah that he wants to be with her even if tab A doesn’t fit into slot B. This may go against most of what we know about men but I think it is possible (at least in theory) for a man to love someone romantically without sex. It seems that Sarah is just not enough into Jim to reciprocate. This is sadly ironic given that, before mutating, she begged Jim to stick by her. Now she finds she is unable to do the same.http://www.gocomics.com/endtown/2014/02/25

Poor Jim. First the anger over Sarah walking away from him and the group, then the total shock of the confirmation that she really doesn’t care for Jim after all. It looks as if he’s gone completely bonkers in the last panel.

Clueless now just got clued.

As I said before a Slut. Dudes never sacrifice everything for an unfaithful woman.

This story line is sorta close to the Terminus story on The Walking Dead. Instead of eating the people they gather they just steal everyone and then let them go, they end up eating their own offspring.

People? They haven’t been “people” for a few days now.

Getting a good look, she means.I don’t think Jim has many options in this neighborhood for other people.

I suppose you could say Sarah used Jim to get what she wanted—-cured of cancer—-and, now that that’s done, she’ll throw him over for this guy who’s better in the sack than Jim is. Ah, well.#Somehow Linda the former Topsider seemed to grab my sympathy more than either Jim or Sarah—-Linda never asked for anything that happened to her, and what did happen repeatedly cut her off from one life after another…but Jim and Sarah went out and begged for it. Possibly they’d’ve gone on being happy brutal Topsiders for some time if Sarah hadn’t gotten sick…

Now I wonder how much sleep Jim will get after seeing this?

Hmm, didn’t know lizards could sweat, but Sarah sure seems to be! Guess her guilt over her treatment of Jim has finally (or at least partially) awoken! Wonder what this will do to her plan!

As much as I generally feel sorry for Jim, I can’t help but notice that he called Holly “the mouse”. I had hoped that being treated like a non person during his stay in lizardtown would make him a little more thoughtful.

Of course consider this….Is Piotr “Uh Oh” for Jim finding him with Sarah or the fact that Jim is walking about unguarded and still in the settlement.

I’m thinking Jim will say nothing, simply turn around and walk away…

Well, that’s one way to cut to the chase.

Dang, I feel sorry for Jim though. The only reason he’s even in the mess is because of her, and this is pretty much how she repays him.

So…I guess let’s face it Jim. You can do better than Miss Perfect Hair at this point.

I do feel sorry for Jim. He did a good job of being romantically in love,but Sarah kicked him out of her life.Her name, her species and her cold blooded attitude all fit like a glove.

Jim doesn’t look crazy to me, but more like wait and see or he knows he can beat the lizard to a bloody pulp.

Piotr seems to be a lizard of conscience, from his account of the history of Lizardville…“seems” being the key word.#Actually the issue is sex—-and I don’t know how clinical in detail I can get on these boards, but it’s plain it’s the root of the problem. I’ll just paraphrase a line from “The Golden Girls” and raise my glass and say, “Here’s to sex…and to the newly-minted raccoon who’s not giving any to Sarah.”

You would think they’d give her new clothes by now, shes already quite settled in.
