Endtown by Aaron Neathery for December 30, 2021

fade to black

Wow! Second comment! How often is that? (5:20 PM MST)

What is that #PickASideYouTube hashtag in aid of?

It’ll be interesting to see at which point they get dropped into Eden. Will it be at the same point when they left (the beginning of the destruction), will they be dropped further along into the chaos, or at a point just before Eden starts falling apart so they can rescue everybody?

Try to keep the blind panic at a minimum…probably been some time since these guys last visited a restroom…

Wally sounds like he’s just about ready to end the dream/nightmare. He’s been through so many mind bending, spirit crushing scrapes that he seems ready to step off the magic carpet.

Yes, he will wake up, lying in bed, as a regular guy, with his auntie spooning soup in his mouth. There’s no place like home, no friggin’ place like home.

CUT!!!

Sorry, couldn’t resist…

But it could be worse… the director could say, “It’s a wrap!”

and then where would you be?

This ain’t the Loony Tunes, Wally. You don’t get “cut,” you get retconned.

Happy landings!

As Aaron Marx himself once said, “You’re a thought that thinks itself.” —8/21/12

Happy New years to all! Please be safe and be well! ;^)

“We aren’t Cardoodles”. Well, to them you are! Vaya con Dios, guys..

Our favorite toons speculate on their tooniness. Aaron never meta fiction he didn’t like.

Wally, you’re not the only one who is worn out by what has happened in the past year and is hoping next year is better!

The surest way to cause a mass panic is to run through a crowd yelling “don’t panic!”.

The previous toon, I said that the New Year would start out with a BANG! and maybe in color. I’m thinking that could happen easily if they pass through the cardoodle universe and a certain mouse is waiting with a bomb for a certain “star”!

yeah, this guy is the main character of the Cardoodle universe, if anyone has main character shields its this guy

Uh, Houston, I don’t want to jinx anything, but…

There is still the problem with Eye.

Wally’s comment reminds me of the first time I watched KONG: SKULL ISLAND. When Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) and his group are suddenly surrounded by incredibly-camouflaged natives, and then John C. Reilley’s character suddenly arrives… he made me think he was the director yelling “CUT!!!”

Nearly 5 hours until midnight here in western Oregon, and already our neighborhood resounds with illegal fireworks and possibly firearm discharges; here’s hoping our Cardoodle heroes have a quieter time and fare well on their voyage through that plexus…and that no version of Eye waits on the other side.

It’s astounding, Time is fleeting, Madness takes its toll, For some strange reason, that sort of fits this situation.

so, has Aaron hinted at yelling “cut” or “wrap” and ending the tale of Endtown?

@ Baslim the Beggar : New Year coming in with a bang?

Most destructive wildfire in Colorado history, all in a matter of hours, 30-Dec-21.

Along with reports of fish falling from the sky in Texarkana.

And we’ve lost count on all the COVID variants coming our way last year.

2021 has been the year that never stops giving!

Has anyone seem the TikTok video about not saying anything about 2022? Just enter the year like you are sneaking into the house late? Do it quietly and try to close the door without making a sound and wait a month or two before breathing? It was brilliant.

Please say it ain’t so, Aaron. Say it ain’t so.

There isn’t going to be a second take.

All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.
