Endtown by Aaron Neathery for June 12, 2013

Bravo! Good for her!

Stick it to the man…bear.

Ah, the one finger salute! Algood wanted an answer, and he got one. Linda’s one cranky koala lady, down to her last nerve, and Octavius wants to use it as a jump rope. This is going to get interesting.

Lets see, they asked Linda about the milk and eggs and she gave them the bird!

Atta girl Linda! ;-)

He got want he wanted, but still he pressed herShe’d little to say … but still made the gestureBut one fact’s still hidden, and its mystery enlargesSince there aren’t yet laws on this … what are the charges?=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooVote for Endtown ClassicThe Endtown ForumThe Endtown AuctionThe Endtown Books

“Your honor, permission to treat Ms. Kowalski as a hostile witness? Your honor?”

i haven’t been so happy in a long time. Go Linda Go! Use what ever hand, face, mouth, butt end etc. to polish off your opinions . I am hoping that Jake can get a lot more of down right chug a lug.Blessed Be

Kid: “But, Maw! That’s only offensive to orientals! This is the one that you tell me not to use!”

LOL.. That’s our Linda! You go, girl!

Way to go, Linda!

Good answer! :-D

Considering what she did wasn’t illegal, simply taboo, yeah, it is none of Algood’s business.

I knew that Linda wasn’t going to back down! I guess she’s not all that cute and cuddly. JJ is going to have to watch his step and not come off as condescending . She’s still not too happy about being a mutant but slowly accepting it

“Um, this isn’t a charade, Miss Kowalkski…”

“You could have fooled me.”

Remembering what she was like when she became a koala, Linda has developed quite a backbone! Hope she rips Algood up one side and down the other.

Panel 4: “Matt Smith in a role that will surprise you …”

I love a brave girl.

I suppose it’s a good thing there’s no judge.

Well Mr. Neathery, it seems you still a few standards you won’t allow in a comic strip. But that’s all I’ll give you on that. Also, they have to realize that the FCC no longer exists in their apocalyptic world.

Now tell us what you really think of Allgood and this trial.

Oh goodie… sign language. It’s a lost art during the apocalypse.

Given that she was arrested for things that are not crimes, has been kept in a cell without facilities or lights out for several weeks and told she may be executed, she has a right to use obscene gestures. I hope she follows that up with an explanation of how she has been treated during this trial and a question (as a newcomer) if that is how Endtown treats its own.

I would have loved to have seen her gesture with that face.Empathic to say the least.Best one finger salute I remember is from Buckaroo Banzai when the aliens are launching their ship and Lithgow as the bad alien tells his assistant "Big Booty (Bootea) he is to be ignored. Big Booty launched that salute with emphasis.Oh and thanks for the info on Doc Rat I was wondering if he was having issues. Thanks.

You thought the gesture was bad wait for the clothing malfunction.“And I am tired of this dang waitress outfit. I don’t care if Holly wears it day, night, weekends, on adventures, stuffed in a suitcase, 24/7/365. I want my BUSINESS CASUAL Australian wear. After all I am a KOALA!!!”“Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, OI OI OI.”(Thanks to Jenner, OI OI OI)

The BIRD is the WORD!

yeah Linda—you go girl!!

Anybody else notice that Allgood bears a striking resemblance to J. Edgar Hoover?

Linda reminds me of Miz Beaver from Pogo in “A Report from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: Who Stole the Tarts?” from THE POGO STEPMOTHER GOOSE (1954).

Scsurfer:Allgood is more like the Late Senator Joseph (Joe) McCarthy the founder of McCarthyism.Review those times and you will see the similarities between this “Milk” trial and the McCarthy congressional hearings.This “trial” resembles those times. There is even a photo of Senator McCarthy on Wiki and it sure looks like Allgood.

Darwinskeeper,Read my response to Josh. You will get a kick out of it.

Put Panel 3 on the auction block…or, at the very least, on a T-shirt.I DARE YOU!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen…Behold! A TRULY ANGRY KOALA!!!See March 9th, 2012 strip.

she was also found dating a BLACK GUY! Oh the scandal!

So much for the docile koala stereotype.

Been browsing some old strips.02-11-11 comes to light.Topsiders talking about “pelts” as personal trophies. The other goes on about why there “there is money to be made in this.” Pigskin footballs, Alligator luggage.Later you can see Wally’s engineer skills when he rigs a trap on the transporter. That rigging would indicate structural back ground.

Good answer, Linda, good answer!! That’s what the HC gets for using live feeds and not the 5 second delay.

Before I was asked to leave law school, I learned of the plea “I demur.” In this case, it means “Yeah, I did what you said. So what?” Usually a defendant would say “I demur,” rather than use a hand gesture.

Tomorrow on Endtown the Milk TrialLinda uses the two “gun” one finger salute.Followed by even higher raised eyebrows.For the first time on Endtown CCT. THE SMIRK!!!!!!Tune in tomorrow kids. Just be sure to have your parents permission.

GO LINDA!!!!!But please, use this ONE opportunity to tell your side of the story. Your opinion matches my opinion, but it DOESN’T explain your case—-or help your defense any.

“See my finger, see my thumb. See my peace sign minus one.”

way to go Linda!

Darwinskeeper,On that strip too Linda laments her “voice” changing. That would preclude any one in Endtown recognizing another mutated Topsider by voice. It would have to be a key phrase like used in the Batman movie. “Ever dance with the Devil in the Pale moon light”.that would be a catch phrase. An ex Topsider would have to use a phrase he/she used as Topsider around Linda for her to recognize them. The High Council uses voice augmentation just for that reason to make sure no one can recognize the voice. However their pattern of word usage could give them away. Repeating a catch phrase they used as High Council members.

Later got shopping to do. See you all tomorrow.

Yeeeaaaah, by about that point, that’d be my response too.

It’s not allowed in the Endtown comic, at least :).(not trying to jab at Aaron at all- I loved it)

The author self-evidently comes down on the side of “direct democracy.” Democracy is three wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner. The system in Endtown had the wolves wearing masks to boot.

Spoiler for anyone reading this comment later:

It turns out later that mutant anthros have only four fingers but aren’t aware of it unless it is brought to their attention…how do you flip a middle digit if you have an even number of digits?
