    Wow. I bet the power of the imagery would be better if the panels were across like in the old days. What a study of emotional contrasts! Curious if the little kid is gonna help Wally accept his feelings of captivity.Really nice, Aaron – this is one of those strips that says so much.

    Aaron, I echo the previous two sentiments. I enjoy your work immensely. I read Pibgorn, too, but usually have trouble figuring out exactly what’s going on there. With your artwork, the reader really gets into the story. Speaking of which, I can’t wait to watch little Kitten Girl develop a close friendship with Wally.

    I can see it now: “Hey Mister, Why are you so sad?”

    Years ago, I read both Pibgorn and 9 Chickweed Lane and now I have abandoned them because of their endless storylines. Some day, I may go back to PB & 9CWL. But for now, there’s Endtown.

    The lack of ability to comment now is one reason everyone is getting tired of Pibgorn, I think. If there is any strip that needs commentary, it’s Pibgorn. Endtown is complex, but not so hard to follow. I’m torn between reading it as soon as the new strip is posted, and trying to wait till the weekend and get the whole week’s worth of Endtown at once….

    The kids don’t have the burden of remembering what the world was like before the plague and war.

    Love the perspective of the third panel.Oh, and speaking of postings; I love that this strip hasn’t been infested with all of the stupid “Morning, (endless list of names)” that too many others have, with the same posters posting the same list of names. Virtually every post here addresses the strip, storyline, art, artist… It’s very enjoyable.

    @MrGromit—

    I’m so glad you brough that up. I couldn’t agree more. Most of the comments made by that crew are, frankly, inane and irrelevant. Almost seems like they feel like they have to say something, even when there’s nothing to say. It really detracts from the overall experience.

    I’m so glad they’re not here!!

    Yay book! I’d buy one (I bought “My Cage”, for example). With the publish on demand you’re “only” out the prep time…

    Hi everyone! (Just joking) @ MrGromit—-you are SOOooo right.——— ;-P

    Aaron, really great strip today. I hope Holly walks by SOON. Poor Wally really needs friendship, understanding, and lots of patience.

    Sorry, but I couldn’t resist the small joke above.I just love this comic!And I’m happy with its readers, too. ;-D

    I would think such a sight would inspire a determination in some that those children would NOT spend their lives without knowing what it was like to walk under the open sky….

    I love the contrast between the kid in panel 2 and Wally in panel 3, such joy Vs. such despair. The look on the face of the kid reminds me so much of the book “Stellaluna”; when the poor little lost bat finally finds her mother there is such a look of absolute joy. I really enjoy how Aaron is able to convey emotions so convincingly with his art.
