Endtown by Aaron Neathery for July 06, 2022

I dunno ’bout everyone else, but I love this!

4th Wall? What 4th Wall?

Clever use of available resources. That straightened the line. And at least it’s not toothbrushes.

Why run? Marx can do anything with any current reality.

That’ll leave the Punctuation Patrol commatose!

This has all been so brilliant and shows a true appreciation of cartoony history. I’m assumin’ Mr. Neathery is havin’ a ball drawin’ this stuff.

Punctuation users – advance!!!!!!

Pulling the rug out from under them! Way to go.

Hahahaha! Nice little twist, Aaron. Never saw that one coming. Then again, you could almost say that about any Endtown strip since 2009 (“Look at them beans”).

Reminds me a bit of Bill Elder’s version of Robinson Crusoe, where Crusoe, having tools to make a ruler but no ruler to calibrate it, cuts a chuck of straight edge from the picture border. https://oldtales7.wordpress.com/will-elder-robinson-crusoe/

Potrzebie!

Gonna tell my kids this was Lackadaisy.

“Lethally whimsical”..

Heh!

Is this what your DREAMS look like Aaron?? Makes me think of a comical dream sequence! LOL

I love the sepia background, and especially the “binocular” view…..that used to show up occasionally in the Saturday Matinee cartoons at the old Grove Theater here in my home town in the 1950s. Our Storyteller has an absolutely encyclopedic knowledge of burlesque slapstick and early cinema.

Has anyone on Patreon received an Endtown newsletter lately?

Wow, they really put the puncture in punctuation. But after getting twanged by Marx, they seem pointless. So, just call him “exclamation Marx”.

Smooth move!

Ah, it’s such a pleasure to watch someone with an expert knowledge of cartoon physics at work.

Nice use of silent-era “iris in” there.

It reminds me of the “Revenging Angel” episode of Farscape.

It’s a good thing the camera angle shifted for those last 2 panels, or they’d have been DOOMED!

This is great fun… comics within comics. :)

Toons… Gets them every time.

Eddie Valiant, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”

I keep expecting Graham Chapman to march out in a British Army officer’s uniform and say, “No, no no! This is too silly! Let’s change this to something decent and uplifting immediately!”

Talk about “string theory”!

I always like a good onomatopoeia.

Makes me think of the “Two Tone Town” folks. “Tiny Toons Adventure” from Warner Brothers first appearance of the Wakko, Yakkko and Dot type characters from Animaniacs.

Now, we wait….

So, he is La Linea?

Panels 8 and 9 are a very nice touch. I’ve seen something like that before in animation. Maybe the guy who did b&w Popeyes. Fleischman or something close to that. Aaron is a practitioner and scholar of the art form.

yep
