Oh yes, perhaps the winning bidders for original art would like to use Underground Art to show off their art or the mounts they have made for their prints. Aaron’s Complete Site contains other stories and opportunities. Sincerely and Respectfully, JusSayin

Sounds more and more like there is open country out there some where. Could be very “interesting”. Mutant communities on the surface, perhaps? Or at least mutants less under pressure of APEX attention.

A total aside, was wondering if the dusted areas have established whole monster ecologies. After all this time, without something to keep them going, the monsters would have died out, as you can only eat so many of your fellows before running out.

wow! Holly was fast! Rodents generally have razor sharp teeth,since they have to gnaw to keep them from growing too much.Don’t know as much about mice, but rats teeth can spread apart some so they get a grip that can’t be loose from easily.Holly can be like, with a comparison to LSOS, a tiny ball of fury. (the other was a basketball of fury) or something close to that.

This is what’s called a zero-sum game.

“Put the mouse down.”

Since Jim and Sarah didn’t knowHow mutation came aboutThey might not know the guns won’t goOr know the guns can shoutBut Wally, I would think, has seenIn his experienceThat zero guns are quite “unclean”They’re Topsider defense.=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooThe Endtown ForumThe Endtown AuctionThe Endtown Books

Mouse bite! Modesty aside, the fact they were willing to remain in their uniforms despite such a radical change in appearance and stature, speaks volumes as to their true allegiance.If one thinks about it for a minute, even anthros dressed in Topsider uniforms would be “kill on sight” to both Topsiders and Anthros alike.A few weeks back I postulated the concept that this was a mission of infiltration on the part of the topsiders.They haven’t conquered the Earth yet….. Yet.The topsiders seem to hold dominion over the skies and the surface as well. What is there left to conquer?The hidden underground cities.What else would there be left for them to to go after?Even though Jim and Sarah are at odds with each other on a personal level there seems to be a mission that overrides the schism that has fractured their relationship to each other.Perhaps we’ll find out his week whats going on, perhaps not, given Mr. Neathery’s penchant for cliff hangers.(Crosses fingers)

I’m not inclined to think that anybody’s going to shoot anybody—-and for all we can tell, Sarah may be drawing a bead on Jim rather than Wally. Time will tell, I suppose. That or a quick ditto-disappearing act the first time their backs are turned…

…time for wally to try to make the dittos help him with their constructs

those 2 dont know the dittos can make constructs

I hope Holly didn’t ruin any teeth. That fabric’s supposed to be impervious.The rest of the world could be like After Earth, or the world of Kamandi, or Hillside could be like Shyamalan’s Village or a paranoid neighborhood like in “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”. Of course it’s not going to be like any of that.

I prefer the “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” scenario. The rest of the world is normal, but Hillside went to hell because the cable is out.

This is ridiculous. Jim and Sarah should be bargaining because Wally might want what they have as well, and now that the two of them are ALSO societal pariahs, they have to stick together and trust each other out of their own self-interest.

Panel Four is most definitely an OH, CRAP!!! moment.

I can’t really comprehend why they’re fighting this partnering thing, despite any personal faults they are pretty much the ideal guides and there is safety in numbers.

I think this is the first time a character bit another, which is interesting in that it might signal the mutants becoming more animal-like.

Here’s a question: Does a zero gun even work inside a P/T? It would make a lot of sense if it can’t. I know the P/T has self maintenace capabilities, but not if the self maintenance module was destroyed and possibly if the brain was missing. Self preservation may count for that possibility and it may be a fact all four of them don’t know.

By the way, the current scene now has a cast of eight. Wally, Holly, Jim, Sarah, Clive, the dittoes (if they count as one)…and whatever poor souls are trapped in the two Zero guns…

I think that second panel would look great on a T-Shirt. Thanks Aaron!!!

Bad positioning make that move unusable. Holly is in the line of fire chomping on Jims arm. Even if Wally ducked when Sarah fires, Jim and Holly are in the path. That is why the weapon is not aimed at the back of Wally’s head. Check the angle….she is aiming just over top right at Holly and Jim locked in a biting embrace.Like I mentioned earlier I believe Sarah is the more dangerous one in this story.She did the research and convinced Jim to join her out of “love”. Now that she has what she wanted does she even maintain the relationship?? After his outburst probably at seeing what she has become she may be rethinking their relationship.

I have a feeling Sarah is pointing her Z-gun WITH Wally, not AT him. Given how the pair exited Clive, with Sarah really mad at Jim, I can’t see her wanting to keep his company…

One strange thing though: in the first panel Jim has a non-aggressive expression on his face, almost as though he and Wally had quite a chat between yesterday and today. He now looks like he’s trying to educate Wally, not execute him…

Who are the lucrainians? seems like Sarah becoming a reptile is exactly what fits her new role as a strong female baddie.

i love the holly panel! Things are. Looking up a bit and I may be able to buy a print now.

Maybe Jim and Sarah’s behaviour is giving my theory on mutant change some premise. Jim is a bit of a backstabber, now hence a racoon, an opportunistic scavenger. Sarah is cold and calculating, now a lizard. She probably had rebuffed Jim’s affection for her. Anyone want to comment on this? Rebuff, support or other?

How cool would it be if Petey, showed up right now, and bit Sarah and was an old friend of Clive’s? Especially if he grabbed Sarah by the throat, until she cried, MERCY! Because Wally’s hide could be saved, by Robot Number 3.

Does Panel4 deliberately give insight into Sarah’s frustration?JusThinkinKinkin
