I know what one finger means, what dies four fingers mean?Or is is just double two fingers? I like that sneer on his face. Quite appropriate .Blessed Be
REPOST.. and many thanks to all who have already bid this week: Two new auctions this week at the Endtown Auction Block.. a double-sided Endtown original featuring Holly embarrassing herself and a color Holly & Wally “chase” drawing that I drew on request. All proceeds help Endtown stay alive! And, yes, I mean that..
In case we had still had a doubtWhether Wally and gang would get outAaron Marx’s big tossShowed the folks there who’s bossAnd the gesture? He fingered it out.But remember, he doesn’t take sidesJust amuses himself with these ridesAs a champion he’sLess safe than diseaseLet’s just hope his good humor abides.=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooThe Endtown ForumCharter member ofthe Consortium to get Aaron a Tablet
And THIS is what had Marx looking so worried yesterday – he was concerned that Linda would blow the timing of his big exit. “Th’, th’, th’, That’s All, Folks!”————————————Die, Appleyard!
Well, I’ll be……..AM stepped through. So what happens to Flask? Glad to see AM helped Holly through, looks like Wally had a bit of a time with the hole.
Has anyone mentioned how what AM does is similar to what Will can do with “The Subtle Knife” in the “Dark Materials” trilogy by Phillip Pullman? Except AM doesn’t need the knife to find a seam in reality. I wonder if this will soon be the end of Wally’s story, and we’ll begin following another character.
A bit of history about the Brit’s ‘two finger salute’ : back during the heyday of King’s, castles, and archers both the British and the French would cut off the index and middle fingers of the archers captured so they would never be able to fire a bow again. So the Brit’s would show the ‘two finger salute’ to say that we still got ours, in a F you kind of way.
Okay,so, Linda was thrown through the hole, Holly was lifted through, Wally climbed through, and we saw AM through the hole. Petey didn’t go through? Going to find Flask, his past lover? Maybe that’s my answer.
It is an old British taunt. Back in the day if archers were captured, their captors would cut off their bow string fingers so they could never use a bow again. By showing them your two fingers basically doing the same thing as the middle finger.
Heh… the “pluck yew” origin of the gesture is just a punny joke. Nobody’s really sure where it came from, though it could be a reference to the cuckold’s horns.
I think they’ll find Flask in an Endtown hospital where Marx put her. And she’ll have Wally’s old doctor trying to make her stay put and muttering, “Why me?”

The best way to discredit enemies, convince their boss that they are on drugs.

Team Leader, please report to psychiatric evaluation.I wonder if Wally’s giving them the V sign too?

In the UK holding up two fingers like that is the same as flipping someone the bird in the States. Anything to slip this past the Editors.

Does anyone agree that this Personnel Transporter looks shorter than the ones we’ve been used to? Maybe it’s a fast scout model.

LOL, I can’t even respond to that. Good one.

So holding up all five fingers would just look weird?

He’d better watch out. Mr Team Leader could end up in the cozy little rubber room with Avery…;-)

Remember: When doing a two-fingered salute, fingernails towards you = Peace. Fingernails toward them = Screw Off.

Looking at panel 3 made me think;
If this ever becomes a move it needs Johnny Depp to play marx, unless he is getting too old.
This was funny today! Wally looks like he is giving an evil eye to the topsiders..
