Endtown by Aaron Neathery for May 15, 2015

Holy Flaming Raccoons, Batman! Fire outside the arena, soon to be fire in the middle of the arena. Sounds like we gonna have ourselves a lizard roast. Fortunately W&H can duck under the ring and escape before Jim seals off that route. ;-)

Soooo… Jim’s a more… Old Testament God?

Jim is in need of a check up from the neck up..\\//_

Cirque du Flambe’..

Jim has been gone weeks ago. Something else has taken residence in what was Jim. Jim didn’t survive the gas, he was dead before that. That stunt where it turned backwards to look at Holly would have broken Jim’s neck. And, there’s the glowing eye thing. Perhaps Whatever is in there can’t die, but might be restricted by Jim’s body. What happens if that body is destroyed? I wondered before at my sense of foreboding when Jim was being gassed. This doesn’t look good either. Oh…and now we know who did the eggs.

Wow….look at his face….yikes…talk about someone who has completely lost it…….Nice artwork Aaron……

Well, the good news is that B.B.King lived nearly 90 years. Now he is, as B.B.King and Clapton sang, Riding With The King

Thanks, JusSayin

The only thing that comes to mind is “OH WOW!!!!”

He still needs his buddist outfit to get the complete look.

One. Clearly, “Jim” now has fingers!.Two. For weeks, now, “Jim” was off stage, off camera, off panel, whatever. I consider it likely now that “Jim” was responsible for the other fire as well as the massacre in the nursery, pantry, or whatever..Just when we thought this story was about as grim, grisly, and gory as it could possibly get, well, I guess we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

Oh yeah, I am kind of new to Google+, and added some people yesterday Google+ suggested to me because they knew Aaron Neathery, and two have added me back. I already had ThreeStepsOverJapan, and SurfStuff55 and Wabbit, and just followed the recommendations.

Ya know, Wednesday I posted a link to Burn Down The Mission by Elton John, because it was really appropriate. The original lyrics were even closer to this arc than my little attempt at a filk. (Surfie did one at the Doc Rat CrossTimeCafe yesterday that was quite good. In four part harmony). And I almost just followed up with Madman Across The Water because Jim is just so special. But a few minutes ago, after seeing today’s strip, I decided to share The Crazy World of Arfur Brown Fire!

I am not going to try to improve.

Well, that answers what happened to the eggs. Now it’s self-immolation? How is that going to reach the audience? Jim’s at a great height above them. Still, it’s a distraction so Wally and Holly can get away.

So that’s how he set the fire! Kerosene!

Like I had commented on Wednesday’s strip…cue up Fire by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Saurograd is going to burn.

Congratulations, Lizard Colony. You done fudged up. Home of Extra-Crispy BBQ Lizard.

For those still wondering how Jim could have climbed the walls, his suit apparently can do molecular bonding like a gecko. Notice he was crawling on his belly.

Come on Jimmy, Light my fire!

How about:

“Burn, Baby, Burn!

Wait a minute, that’s already happening, isn’t it?Yes, I do have an extremely macabre sense of humor at times.

Sounds like a confession to me! I am so glad Helena is innocent. This means she may have a chance to be reunited with her beloved son, Chic.…One question, though… Where is Helena, anyway?

Let’s hear it from someone else we haven’t seen in a while: Hey Sarah, still think it was a good idea to “go see other people?”

By the way, I think I know how Jim was able to stick to the ceiling. Uncooked egg yolk and whites.

Fire Wheel, Burnin’ in the air!Way up, Middle of the air!I’ll call down thunder and speak the same!Lightning, Glory gonna be my name!Gonna light my way!

I sorta figured this out yesterday. Closest I’ve ever gotten, anyway. :)

Love is a burning thingAnd it makes a fiery ring.Bound by wild desireI fell into a ring of fire.

I fell into a burning ring of fire,I went down, down, down as the flames went higherAnd it burns, burns, burns,The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweetWhen hearts like ours meet.I fell for you like a child,Oh, but the fire went wild.

I fell into a burning ring of fire,I went down, down, down as the flames went higherAnd it burns, burns, burns,The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

I fell into a burning ring of fire,I went down, down, down as the flames went higherAnd it burns, burns, burns,The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

And it burns, burns, burns,The ring of fire, the ring of fire,The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

—Johnny Cash

Jim bringing out his inner “Jim Jones”…without the spiked Kool-Aid.

I’ll have mine over medium…

When I see Jim, I think of the Joker about to start his stand up comedy act. That usually results in the audience laughing themselves to death.

The big question is how many will survive to have further adventures. Wally and Holly seem most likely. The people who are at the end of the rope seem likely as well. If they can find Clive (the brain from the transporter), they may be able to find another transporter that he can use.

I don’t think that there’s much hope for Sarah or Jim.

Da Racoon, Da Racoon, Da Racoon is on fire…

Jim does not have fingers, just really sticky nubs.

Aaaannnndddd that explains Jim still having the lantern. Say goodnight, Gracie.

“Alright, the Joker’s closin’ inThe poor men never winThe light is fading fastI knowYou knowWe all KnowEverybody’s gonna burn down!I see no wires, no pipes to the chandelier. Is Jim going to do a flaming swan dive onto the crowd?Or shall we see if the roof of the dome is flammable?I think his self immolation is to scare the crowd into going out the exits and letting the fire into the arena via feeding that arena full of un-oxidized air to feed the flames.All those lizard people BBQ’d, just think of the horror. All that roast meat and not a drop of Sweet Baby Ray’s in the whole joint!

Of course look at it this way…..Lizards wanted a show.They got a good fight with the necessary death.Now for the main attraction of the night.Raccoon Flambé doing his one act show.LIZARDS>>>>>ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!!!!Who says reality shows are boring………

Strange – I thought he would have taken a procyonid capsule.

I burn for youWhat am I gonna doI burn for youBurn for you - John Farnham

I think I mentioned earlier – Jim’s got fingers!.Or is this really Jim?.Suppose this might be the dittos?.Last we heard, even the lizard dittos weren’t too fond of the lizards…

Jim Dandy to the rescue.Jim Dandy to the rescue.Go Jim Dandy, Go!

Sigh. B.B. King.[sniff]

Oh, you can’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for.I can’t help it, there’s nothin’ I want more.

Yeah, I would fight for you, I’d lie for you,Walk the wire for you, yeah, I’d die for you.

You know it’s true:Everything I do, oh, I do it for you.

“You’re all going to enjoy my next trick, but I can only do it once…”

Awww.. come on, self immolation? Much more satisfying for him to take them all out.

Well, they always say immolation is the sincerest form of flattery.

If your mem’ry serves you wellWe were goin’ to meet again and waitSo I’m goin’ to unpack all my thingsAnd sit before it gets too lateNo man alive will come to youWith another tale to tellBut you know that we shall meet againIf your mem’ry serves you wellThis wheel’s on fireRolling down the roadBest notify my next of kinThis wheel shall explode!

If your mem’ry serves you wellI was goin’ to confiscate your laceAnd wrap it up in a sailor’s knotAnd hide it in your caseIf I knew for sure that it was yours . . .But it was oh so hard to tellBut you knew that we would meet againIf your mem’ry serves you wellThis wheel’s on fireRolling down the roadBest notify my next of kinThis wheel shall explode!

If your mem’ry serves you wellYou’ll remember you’re the oneThat called on me to call on themTo get you your favors doneAnd after ev’ry plan had failedAnd there was nothing more to tellYou knew that we would meet againIf your mem’ry served you wellThis wheel’s on fireRolling down the roadBest notify my next of kinThis wheel shall explode!~Bob Dylan

yes Virginia there is a Santa clause and his name is Jim… what Happened to is Id and Ego… this is an All super Ego person…. Scary how Mental Illness can become so profound.

Jim’s last name doesn’t happen to be Jones, does it? No, I didn’t read all the preceding posts carefully.
