    But, what exactly is he, and what’s he standing on? I’d like to know, even if it does mean life is duller.

    So… some kind of anti-gravity field supporting the ship? that would explain how it can float. Ha ha – galleon on the outside, and junk on the inside!

    I think I got a new feeling about this entire story. Before it was “oh no they are doomed” but now my mind says simply “oh no they are stuck on a floating ship that nobody can get out from, not even jumping, oh well here we go for a Star Trek Lost in Space episode”.

    The End of It Making Sense

    (To this tune) Remember when the days were clear And under artificial sky Didn’t know we’d end up here Just minutes ago we thought we’d die When “happily ever after” stops We’re in a movie set with insane props Can someone tell me when this stops? Why that captain tried to fly? But I know a place where we could be If we can ever get down What happens to that society If the satellite spots Endtown? We could spend our time in some new place Or wait for destruction from outer space This has all gone crazy since We saw the end It was the end of things making sense Oh, wonderful, we’re in the skies Caught by some sort of new machine And even the arrows are alive Instructing us — what does it mean? That stranger standing at the rail Went over the side without a wail But where’d he go? How could we fail To see this falling guy? But I know a place where we could be I’m too old for this ship I think we’re better off, you and me If we could give it the slip Just keep your head and we’ll get down And we’ll be there back on the ground soon I’ve had enough of this suspense This was the end This is the end of things making sense Who knows how long we’ll be here How we got here’s still not clear But somewhere back down in the dust The future’s there for the two of us We need to remember Flask She’s dangerous, no need to ask And Linda we must figure out Or tell that gal goodbye Just let me get one foot down there Hey, there’s the guy — he’s in the air, now? I can’t be surprised more since This is the end This is the end of things making sense =|====/ Level Head Vote for Endtown 2.0 And for Doc Rat, too The Endtown Forum And don’t forget to nominate both For Ursa Major awards!

    Hmmm… the new guy seems to be wearing something bio-suit-ish, but not an official topsider biosuit. Still thinking Sparkplug, but having some minor doubts now because of the biosuit possibility…

    The captain could be a ditto projection, and maybe be the mind of the dittos in a form that can talk to their guests. Or s/he could be a super, whose transcendental meditation at the time of mutation resulted in a transcendental being. Or it could be a brain in a flying robot body like Petey. Or it’s a mutated Penn Jillette.

    Wally, let’s review: You are a cat who used to be a man. Your girlfriend is a “3 foot tall, bipedal talking mouse”. You are hanging out with a koala who only yesterday tried to harvest your brain, and a tin can containing the brain of a guy who can’t remember his life before he was a truck. And you think some guy leaping from a flying ship into thin air doesn’t make sense? Sounds par for the course to me….. ;-)

    So, maybe the ship is as big as it looks inside—ditto invisibility disguising the external appearance.

    What’s really crazy (besides the fact that their host appears to be standing in mid-air alongside his vessel) is that what he’s saying actually makes some sense!David Copperfield, eat your heart out!

    I just started reading this strip about fifteen minutes ago, and it’s kind of intriguing. I started here, went backwards for five or six weeks… and…Um…Can anybody tell me what the heck is going on? I mean, according to today’s comments it seems that everyone else is almost as confused as I am, but… Can anybody give me a synopsis or something? I’m liking this strip, but not enough to go back to 2009…

    I enjoyed reading all the synopsii on this day. I only got as far back as was suggested to me, where the dittos were introducedTHis was such an unexpected event. I had thought something else was also out there to see. From where Wally was looking. the helmet looks funny. maybe this guy has round ears?.

    I concur with the “start from the beginning” crowd – the real beginning, back in 2009. I just did that very thing (again!), and found it to be (again!) well worth my time. And GoComics makes it a really easy thing to do.
