Endtown by Aaron Neathery for July 13, 2023

Lucky kids. I hope they find an exit. FYI. Never pick an animal up by the ears or tail. Unless you want to test their bite strength.

They’re like mice in a maze where the route keeps changing. They’re smarter than mice, though, and fully understand the urgency of the situation. Assuming that Wally & Co. are in an area with an exit, I hope the kids can track them by sound through the walls and join them soon.

If done correctly, it is safe to pick up some species by their tail. But felids? NOPE.

“Call it even”?

Just exactly what are the punishments for failing algebra in this colony?!?

What was the thing in the Stephen King book? A kid saved another kid falling out of a tree by grabbing him by his hair, and when they got down the saved kid wanted to fight because he’d pulled his hair?

It was all he had to grab. Seek apologies later….Run you fools!

Along with the rooms being absorbed, the hallways are getting narrower. I went back a few strips, and the difference shows. How much time do they have left?

Hers is a sad tail… Let’s just hope their tale isn’t sad, too.

She would be wise to keep that long tail pulled (gently) up over her shoulder, as they scurry around corners which might SNAP shut behind them!

I like this little mouse nerd. I hope he makes it.

We got to get out of this place if it’s the last thing we ever do!

I’m not sure if the math works out…

Has anyone noticed that this latest cat character may be Duffy’s little brother? The Cardoodle version may have gone up when the sun went supernova, but this fellow resembles him.

I really, really hope Aaron doesn’t give us the bad ending with these two. This comic series can get quite dark despite its cartoony nature. Partly what draws me to it, but man, I don’t want to see these kids gets snapped.

Phoebe and Cole. Phoebe is the girl mouse. Cole is the boy cat.

Nice work with the wall shadow in Panel 2.

Are they the new Holly and Wally?

What is the light source for the shadows? Go toward the light!
