Endtown by Aaron Neathery for July 24, 2024

Oooh! I would like to see that map!

A compass might be of use if magnetic north is still somewhere near “north.”

Wally the engineer will figure out how to get those lifeboats to the beach easily, no doubt!

Gondwana and the Thetis Sea… 200 000 000 years ago… So, dinosaur people built this?

But remember Wally….you sail far enough….”Here Be Monsters.”

Yeah, I doubt maps will be of any us with how things have… Changed, as of recent. What I want to know though is whether or not they actually recognize those place names, they might, but I can’t say for certain.

Just a few simple obstacles for the Engineer in Wally

It’s a whole new world!

Those lifeboats look a little small for 21 people each, so they will want that third one. Remember they are prepping for a voyage of unknown duration. And I would not be surprised if there were a mutiny and some decided to go for a different destination than the “Great Green.”

Wherever the ship same from, the inhabitants were about the same size as humans.

Good thing Al and Giustine are not with them…

So, the ship can’t be the Titanic, but it might be the Titanosaur…

The kid took the words right out of my mouth

“Sailing, sailing, over the Tethys Sea…we’ll never make Gondwana shores if you don’t listen to me…”

You would think with ships and other things randomly floating out of the sky, at least one or two large ships would have ended up floating in the ocean nearby, and largely intact.

Hopefully the dino jerky is still good.

Two boats? They should take three. Y’know – in case they lose one.

Too bad, there’s not more! A small flotilla would be nice.

Wally: “Ok, well, first rule of engineering is to start with known quantities. Which reality works best for you guys.”

When Duffy made a simplified sketch that showed where Eden had been relative to the other dimensions (strip 07/03/2019); he says “you can’t move a reality bubble without dragging all the parallel realities with it”. It appears that this group has returned to their original reality—the same one that Endtown is set in. But when this bubble snapped back, it seems to have pulled along objects from other realities. A map shows the supercontinents remained togther up to present day-at least in the reality that boat came from. All the buildings, boats, and other flotsam probably got pulled in as Eden passed back through the various realities. With entire buildings and ocean liners appearing here I wonder: where did the people inside them go? If these objects were snatched along the way when Eden snapped back, then people would have been in them. The should be some sign of people, (or remains if they didn’t survive).

Me too Duffy

With only fear and good judgement holding us back,

We sailed out on the Northern Sea,

With a boat load of crazy people….

Can’t be that ship straight out from them; too angled for them to be standing on. No matter. Looks like they’re getting their act together and yes, folks — they’re sick of things as they are and now, they wish to change their imaginary reality!!

When you don’t know what direction to take, any direction will do.

For boats, ‘maps’ are called ‘charts’.
