    Actually that sounds worse, a cow’s tongue can be washed after all, and breast feeding mom’s a good portion have no doubt expressed and sipped a tablespoon or so out of curiosity. That isn’t weird, I tried it , and compared to cow milk it was rather thin.

    I had dinner, years back, with a “star” of BoratHe was used for a joke, though it fell rather flatAs Bob Barr told his story, we smiled by degreesBorat gave (undisclosed) his “mother’s milk cheese”But in parts of the world, this is not a big dealFolks from there’d be nonplussed at Allgood’s last spielFor what’s “weird” is oftimes what you grew with as goodJust as Romans were wont to be smearing blue mudSo now Allgood is counting on widespread disgustNote there’s no current law! The arrest was a bust!All he can do (in theory) is go for the “ick”And (except for High Council) might not make it stick.=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooVote for Endtown ClassicThe Endtown ForumThe Endtown AuctionThe Endtown Books

    The difference is that Maude is a consenting adult woman who not only agreed, but judging by her personality she was eager to do so.

    What ARE the rights of citizens. The logic is to establishing a rule to live by IN WRITING .At least here in America. We are presuming that this is based on what was left of America.

    Something just occurred to me. You cannot sell cow’s milk without USDA Agricultural Inspection to make certain the milk producer’s food, living arrangements, vaccinations, and the collecting and processing facilities are up to standards. Conspiracy radio occasionally talks about whole milk producers getting shut down for not pasteurising or homogenizing their product. Yet there is quite a marketplace for mother’s milk and mother’s milk products. Perhaps someone else more familiar with their countries’ dairy laws could clarify this issue.Human females do not have to have given birth to lactate. I was a youth advisor for teens for many years. If we had forty 16 year old girls, and a young married woman who was a former member of the group showed up with an infant, we could expect at least one or two girls to accidentally express a little milk and we had to have the female adult workers on guard to provide cover and prevent embarassment. As I understand, there are just a few hormones required to lactate, and 16 year olds are hormone reactors.Remember to vote at topwebcomics for Endtown 2.0, Doc Rat, and the original Endtown.Trying to be Courteous, Clean and Respectful,

    Thanks,JusSayin

    Times change, you idiot panda! You aren’t human, you aren’t animal, you are mutant. NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Mutations happen in the real world every day, it’s called…EVOLUTION! Sometimes evolution comes as a response to a changing enviornment..which would be endtown’s situation. Adapt or die..and that includes one’s mindset.

Plus she just sent me directions on making links. I promise to read it thoroughly and learn, bbut now I am a bit foggy.

    Thank you very much Surfi. I am still shaking me head over $23 per scoop human breast milk ice cream, as well as the suppliers getting $24 for 10 ounces of mothers’ milk.Sincerely Thankfully, JusSayin

    Allgood is trying to make a point, but he’s on the wrong track. Not just that there’s a difference between the current day and before the war, when food used to be plentiful. (There’s a perversity here, with Allgood in his suit and tie, drinking bottles of scotch and even smashing some when he wants to vent his rage, in counterpoint to other Endtown citizens who live hand-to-mouth, in frugal and Spartan circumstances, with pokey little apartment rooms and eating little else but beans.)More importantly, people have mutated into bizarre cartoon animals. I mean, c’mon! Reality as we knew it has gone out the window! Thing is, now we have to create our own new definition of human. Allgood’s definition is one, but in my opinion it’s the wrong one: “Walk upright, wear clothes and comb your hair. Do it with a straight face and with luck no-one wil notice.”What we are learning in this epic journey that started with Al and Gustine, then Wally and Holly, then Flask and Petey, and so on, is that another way of defining human is by the compassionate values they hold, the bonds they foster and the prices they are willing to pay in the name of community with one another.The human deck is being shuffled as we speak. We’re making it up even while the next hand is being dealt.It’s true that what’s at stake here in Endtown is humanity itself. On that basis, one could argue it’s so important that the players see it as worth fighting for, fighting to the very brink, fighting to the edge of endurance, fighting to the edge of morality, fighting to the edge of reason: it’s survival against destruction, even good against evil. If it’s worth fighting for, maybe it’s worth killing for. Maybe lives must be sacrificed, by this reckoning, within the greater game of survival of the species. That’s how their argument coud go.One could argue, on the other side, though, that the moment you are prepared to kill in order to define yourself as human, you have lost sight of your goal and the need to get there.

    Just wondering, using Allgoods mentality, what if Maude’s husband was still alive, should or would he be on trial too? Plus his statements on Holly were painted too broadly. Cheese from human milk may be weird, if possible, but Maude’s body isn’t human, she’s a cow that produces cow’s milk. Really, Allgoods assessment is really intellectually dishonest. JJ should or hopefully would pick up on this and exposes it before he gets on his soapbox.Wait, he needs one just to be seen!!

    Questions:Did Holly already like chees in her human form?Did Holly even make cheese in her human form? Or just buy it in the super market? This would have been my answer to this question. I didn’t had to make chees, I just bought what was available at the super market. And even if they would have had human milk cheese, the price difference would lead me to buy cow or goat chees. Allgood just asks the wrong questions, and Holly gives the wrong answers.Maude is a sentient being, and that’s all that counts.I would make Allgood explain what is a human being, he surely will disqualify himself with the answer.

    Old lawyer trick. Give you a question you can only answer a certain way then use a hypothesis to make a conclusion.Allgood said it Maude was denied human dignity Holly did not. Maude was not DENIED her human dignity in letting Holly use the milk to make cheese. Allgood uses human breast milk as if Maude is using her breasts. From the looks of her lower parts I would say the mutation left her cow udders and that is where the milk came from not her breasts.So in rebuttal to Allgood if Maude gave the milk willing and free WHERE the HELL was her human dignity denied?Allgood is drawing conclusions based on what HE feels is right.I can tell now this is not going to be a trial like we have where attorneys can OBJECT to lines of misleading questions or drawing conclusions when the witness does not say it. Its called “answering for the witness”. I have seen judges stop right there warning the attorney STERNLY not to do that. BUT this is Endtown its going to go differently.There will be arguments, tears, fears, and the clowns will be in control. We all know the Council is fixed and the decision is premade.Jake will make a fervent appeal and a good show but that is not going to move the Council unless something happens.I put my money on a twist coming up.I don’t know what but I can feel it coming.

All of this on top of having spent two weeks in a cell with no facilities, no lights out, and occasional visits by armed rats? Keeping in mind that you have no way of knowing if Wally is in another cell also populated with armed rats.

    I love reading the comments here almost as much as the strip itself. There are so many interesting points of view expressed.

    Let’s not forget that based on previous strips, we know that the defendants have all endured captivity without sanitary facilities, a place to sleep, etc.. They can’t be expected to be at the top of their game.

    We would expect lawyers to try to prep their clients to avoid trick questions, but Jacob is a writer, not a lawyer. Who knows if he has even had a chance to talk to them.

    They are already on trial for something that isn’t technically a crime. How many of the things we take for granted in our court systems may not apply here?

    From what we have seen, this “trial” is not following what would be OUR version of what would be. It is Endtown after all and Endtown is on a WAR footing. So many rights would be waived for SECURITY issues. And how this affects security like Groucho said I will never know. The “accused” have been kept in isolation. Only contacts have been with the Rats and their preparations. No one has had contact to build a defense. This is all questions and answers. Allgood led Holly right into his trap. He got her to admit the milk came from Maude so Allgood says Holly was using Maude as a COW as he said DENYING her Humanity. Allgood said it not Holly. Allgood got Holly to say using breast milk was “Weird” so that left Allgood with HIS conclusion.As RickD said what is going to go on when Linda takes the chair. She has been stewing on this all the time saying nothing. Linda is going to pop I can see it coming. When threatened with death she is going to cut loose on the whole deal INCLUDING her origins.Maude is going to stand her ground as it is HER choice and no one is forcing it on her. She believes she is helping folks which is the way she is. Like I pointed out she is not giving breast milk. She has udders under that robe and probably is not afraid to show everyone.Jake is simply going to point out we are still human but not the same as we were. We are different with new abilities not known before. Have we lost our humanity or just changed it by a cause forced on us. Jake may not say much. If I were him I would let the accused talk. Of course not that it is going to make a difference anyway. I don’t see the Council all teary eyed going “We made a mistake we’re sorry” “It was all Velda and Allgood’s fault, they made us do it.”That isn’t happening folks, it’s got to break somewhere else.The TENSION is extreme!!!!!!!!!!!

    1-Maude is a cow morph, not a cow. 2-Maude volunteered the milk. 3- we don’t make cheese from human breast milk because it is impractical, humans just don’t produce that much milk (though I guarantee you’ll find someone who has done it, and might even find a place on the internet where you can buy some)

    Here’s as I see it. Some of the humans were mutated into animals that “give” by-products. A chicken will produce eggs and there is no need of a male for fertilization prior to her laying them. A cow, after giving birth, will produce milk for a period of time. In the case of the cow, unless the milk is expressed, her udder will burst. The same goes for any other dairy animal (and humans, ask any mom who’s given birth about how her breasts feel), The solution in Endtown seems to be to waste and destroy any of these products. The more humane and least wasteful method is to use it. This is reminding me of how some large corporations would rather waste food than help relieve the hunger situation (recent news story-large bank foreclosed on a small local grocery store. Destroyed ALL the food, perishable and non-perishable, rather than give the non-perishable items to a food bank or the people hoping to get some. These items included baby food and powdered formulas).

    True that, I offered my rats a choice between cow cheese and soy cheese and they quickly took off with the soy cheese. . But if I had offered cheese or avocado the cheese would be untouched. Rats go nuts over avocados.

    I would like the rats own slightly odd moral code be the twist, like not shooting anyone in the back, but Linda may tell them days worth of stuff that she saw going on topside that would make this out to be a story for babies.

    “I rest my case.” Is that all to be said? Only one suspect addressed (as far as we know). The prosecution doesn’t have much evidence. Without the cake or cheese, it’s just heresay.

    Here is one for the weekend.I think I may have a clue (police style) on who may be behind this all.THE LEGUME GANG! AKA: The Bean Syndicate.A secretive, hush hush group of individuals interested in keeping BEANS the one and ONLY food of Endtown. They have their “black” hands into the bean food production and commodities. This new “use mutant by products” is a threat to their bottom line. Which is “Making a profit”.Why eat nothing but beans if you can have eggs and milk also. WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH ENDTOWNERS HATE BEANS. So if milk and eggs became available openly without restrictions the bean market would crash leaving those holding all the bean stock broke.You know it is not far fetched. Velda could be a family member of someone who holds a huge amount of bean stocks. So there would be her involvement and explain why she seems so well off. MONEY. Members of the Bean Syndicate are in charge in the Council rigged by Velda so death to the mutant by product producers. That way eliminate any and all competition.Have fun with this. Got to go. They are putting down new flooring and starting at my side.See you all Monday. I will check back. Peace and out.

    Actually, Allgood has a huge point, but it’s for a situation that he’s in the process of creating himself. So far, the use of mutant byproducts has been very limited, and mostly under the table. Once the practice is brought to light and more mutants start thinking about it as something that can be put into daily practice, the ones that can produce things like milk and eggs are going to be thrown into the spotlight. They won’t be able to go outside without an armed escort, and there will be massive pressure to supply enough byproducts to meet demand (white market or black market). Allgood’s trial is going to turn byproduct producers into “things to be manipulated” whether he likes it or not.

    “To answer your question, Mr. Allgood, Maude is a human spirit residing in a bovine body, just as yours resides in a panda body, and mine in a mouse’s. Our bodies are merely vehicles we navigate through our lives, Mr. Allgood. But they are OURS, by right, just as my spirit is mine, by birth, and the freedoms we have revolve around those facts. Likewise, these freedoms are reflected in the choices we make concerning what we DO with our bodies, assuming that these actions don’t make victims of others, or infringe upon the rights of others. What Maude CHOSE to do with her own body, and the byproducts thereof ,was hers and hers alone. She chose to give me the milk she produced becuase, like most bovines, the production of milk can become painful if it’s not released, and though she could have simply thrown away her milk, Maude hates to see anything useful go to waste, so she CHOSE to give it to me… As a result I CHOSE to make cheese from it… There were no victims here, merely consenting adults using the tools they’ve been given (their own bodies) to create useful things from their harmless byproducts… No different from the old-Earth custom of donating one’s hair for the creation of wigs for cancer patients, or the donation of organs or blood to those who might need them in medical circumstances… Reasonable, free choices made by consenting adults… In the case of the other Endtown inhabitants whose garbage may have been raided for the eggs used to make the cake, well…since the eggs were already thrown away, the most Linda can be fined for would be trespassing and possibly garbage theft…”

    Regardless of Allgood’s conclusion, making cheese from human breast milk is not illegal, let alone a capital offense. The world of Endtown is based on ours, so I expect it would be a curiosity at worst there too, before the war.I hope someone calls an expert witness to explain the genetics of mutation. If called by Allgood, then we can assume for his argument that mutants are genetically human with animal overlays. If called by Jackrabbit, then the argument will probably be that mutants are no longer genetically human and therefore mutant products are not human products. In any case, both sides need to realize that they are being used, and their arguments are just a convenient way for the Powers That Wannabe to divide and conquer.

    I was concerned at first about Linda’s topsider connection being used as a reason for executing the 3 (something like Linda working to cause dissent, with Holly and Maude guilty by association); but this “plot” that Algood, Velda and HC are into is much older…and seems to be for some far-reaching purpose that will adversely affect a lot of Endtowners (rivers of blood). Focusing on Linda wouldn’t illustrate a “creeping social blight”, as Algood seems to want to demonstrate.

There are presently at least 10 people (if we assume that Velda packed the HC only recently) wandering around in Endtown that know Linda was a Topsider. Is there anything keeping them from talking publicly, other than a promise to keep this a secret?

    I have wondered if “other” former Topsiders wander the streets of Endtown…of course, the only other “other” we know for sure is the nearly-departed Philomena Flask…
