Endtown by Aaron Neathery for February 28, 2014

Yep, Friday cliffhanger, ha.

I’m afraid I don’t get the attitude being shown. There are the first voluntary defectors from the topsiders. The taunting and lack of welcoming just seems wrong.

Why did the suit shrink?

Jim: “Where’d we put the Christmas tree? And what did Santa leave me in my stocking?”

not even a hint of what Sarah is, other than she seems in be included in the “something short”.

He is running to doff his own suitBut leaves Sarah to lie there, the brute!Jim is all wound up tightJust to see he’s all rightAnd poor Sarah? A later pursuit=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooThe Endtown ForumThe Endtown AuctionThe Endtown Books

Wally is indeed being a bit cruel. If the residents of Endtown found out about them – and what happened to Albion West – they’d be homicidal so these two are getting off very light.

At least they’re the same size…

I don’t think Wally is showing attitude, really. I think the dialog and reaction are actually very realistic. Wally and every other ‘cute anthro’ got there involuntarily and has had it hard ever since. We have been calling these two “closet furries.” I just think Wally is reacting the way the rest of the world (i.e., “normal people”, who were mutated against their will) would toward those who would actually want to mutate. Think of the attitude hewmans in our world have toward toward furries. They think they’re weird.How would you react?

Mister Neathery, you are tickling me!It’s why I SO love this comic.

…and remember, we (and Wally) still haven’t been told why they were so interested in the mutants’ ‘fast healing’ capability. In another sense, they really aren’t “into furry,” but are here against their will.The complexity to this situation exemplifies what I love about this comic!

darn. we won’t know until next week if they’re thylacines

I don’t think Wally is being mean, more like good natured ribbing. He is enjoying the moment, though. Keep in mind there was an enormous amount of trust involved in helping them transform. He could have as as easily killed them. They’ve been through a lot together already just escaping from Albion West.

Oh, and now they have to find an abandoned shop that used to sell kid’s clothing.

“Welcome to my nightmare”

Some of it may be that these two wanted to transform… and are still freaking out about it. Flask was an aberration that she retained her full height…

Looks like Jim’s helmet has a pair of prominent ears sticking up through the material.

“Think of the attitude hewmans in our world have toward toward furries. They think they’re weird.”

No worse than Trekkies or people who take off their shirts and paint themselves before sitting in the end zone during a December NFL game in Cleveland.

One Cracker Jack prize to open, the other awaits till next week.Wonder is Jim is going to go into Schism right after he gets that suit off??I am siding with TSOJ.Pissy Chipmunks.

Round ears… Pandas! Oh yeah.

Not as glamorous as you thought, eh?

Wouldn’t be hilarious if it was a cat and mouse. After Wally’s (justifiable angry) remarks to see themselves in kind. Maybe Jim is the mouse.

I don’t think Wally’s being cruel as much as being cynical about the situation, which he’s been through. It’s the natural reaction of trying to defuse a bad situation through humor.

What do you want to bet they’re rats? It would be a tad apropos, no?

whatever he is has pointy ears, could be almost anything though…

And now’s the time they get news whatever disease was killing them has finally been cured. Now THAT would be mean.

I don’t know if we have ever gotten any indication of how elastic those suits are. Are those large ears folded over or small horns? Most animal ears would not be stiff enough to stand out on their own. My impression is that he has become a panda bear.

This brings to mind the song “Friends From The Other Side” (Disney’s The Princess and The Frog)……♫♪ Well, you’re changing, you’re changing. Yeah, you’re changing all right. I hope you’re satisfied…If you ain’t, well then, don’t blame me…You can blame my friends on the other side! ♫♪…♫♪ You got what you wanted… Now do you want what you got? ♫♪

Oh, the horrors! Now Clive won’t recognize Jim and let him in to get the suit off.

My money is on Rats. So they have a way of getting back into Endtown.

Look at Jim’s buttocks in the first panel, but not too long.

Mobile has been acting up. Maybe I’ll run for police chief next year, Autumn 2015. Why not, everyone in town knows me(5000 people), and noone really knew the police chief they elected last time, just that he wasn’t the other Fascist, so, we have a Stalinist police chief and the ass. chief hires out the local cops for Russian style mafia affairs. Dood, meet the Old Boss’s Proteges! I know the mafia in this area, I useta do some things for them. So, uh, yeah, things are looking up. But my mobile is screwy, I may have to get a new one.S & R,

Jim’s an Ostrich. The other one? Que Sarah, Sarah. Sarah… Sis, Boom Bah! Go-o-o-o Mutants! Yay! Sarah’s a Walrus, Jim, the ostritch, is the Egg Man.No Dr B & Dr N & Jenner’s Alter-ego the IRL Dr, I am misusing drugs. This is plain old fantasy. If I were misusing drugs, I would think my writing is Briiliant Stuff. As it is, it is just mildly entertaining to me, but, it’s either that or leave the open mike neglected, and maybe do so cleaning. I got 600 sq feet, just under 60m^2. It’s clean. Remember to vote for Endtown and Doc Rat repeatedly over the weekend. Sincere Thanks to All of You,

JusTryin to Help.

Notice how Jim’s new arms(feathers? Emu? Rhea? Kiwi?) seem to be short relative to his torso, and especially his skinny birdlike legs. Also, help Jim come up with an answer for "Did the Transmutation make my butt look big to a wombat. Nature abhors a vacuumly,

I think I just guessed Sarah’s new form. What have some Texans tried to make the state armor plated leper carrier, or some version of that for over 50 years.

. Not my usual preference in music, but it’s a part of my life.Think I Wanna Go Home With the ARMADILLO That’s right, the scourge of epidemiologists all over the south, because lately, there has been an upsurge in Hansen’s Disease, known informally as leprosy, transmitted from armadillos to humans.Does anyone know the process for acquiring naming rights to dread disease? Leprosy worked fine for three millenium, but some rich guy must have paid someone to a campaign to Hansen’s Disease. Harry Hansen dropped a fortune into Rice University, which uses the British system, including Dons. I doubt they had the name changed for Harry since Rice is not associated with leprosy. I wonder who bought the right to rename leprosy, and what other dread diseases could be purchased and renamed for someone one intensely dislikes.For instance, if one wanted to change the name of say, gonorrhea, scurvy, or dysentery to honor someone particulaly memorable, and remove some of the negative connotations attached to its current name, what would that cost?It’s okay, my mind is old enough and big enough to wander off by itself, as long as I don’t actually do anything crazy.

I had no idea there was a new name for leprosy. My understanding is that diseases are generally named for the physician that first described it. An exception would be shrapnel, which was named for a soldier that died from it but that’s not so much a disease as a bunch of stuff that flew through the air and hit someone..I knew armadillos could get leprosy, but I didn’t know they could transmit it. Now I don’t feel so bad about all the armadillos I’ve run over.

Something seemed to make me double-post…I deleted one. Also it signed me out, whatever it was…

She’d be a pretty small wolf I’d say.

…when you control just a bit of external stimuli. So yes, I agree Clive may have flipped allegiances, or he is a bit of an existentialist, possibly with daubs of solipsism and nihilism, or maybe Clive is part of a secret, um, Brain Trust(?ooh, bad). And several machines may have risen up to crush their oppressors. They may even accept allies from the mutant tribes. I can’t help but believe, that after defeating the TopSiders, some machines may try to convince mutants of the freedom from bodily restraints. The brain can get tired, I guess the higher functions tire more easily than the reptilian functions. I tire. Catch you later. Remember to vote. Sincerely,JusSayin

As far as needs, the one issue for transporters is supplies replenishment. Clive needs energy to move and operate his airscout the fuel for that energy apparently comes from the “charging station” that Petey and his love met at. There would also be other substances, like the stuff that feeds Clive’s head and provides the materials to the self repair module. This could be some sort of energy to matter thing (which would suggest massive amounts of energy like a matter/antimatter reactor) or base materials to be used in the SRM and head support unit. By joining with Jim, Sarah, Wally & Holly, Clive has cut off his access to these things. The need for the things that sustain his life may lead Clive to try to get back into his former masters’ good graces.

“You unwrap me first…”

“It’s a puppy!!! Now you.”

“A teddy bear!!!”

Do you think Jim and / or Sarah will keep calling Wally “Cat?”

Darwinskeeper mentioned Sarah would be pretty small for a wolf. How about a fox? In more ways than one?

I like how the topsiders’ suits magically shrink to fit them when they’ve mutated.
