Well, not every ovum laid is going to be fertilized, the non developing ones could be used for consumption as well.
On the other hand, in this society, I suspect that fertilization is mandatory…
Also, guess that answers that question. In the Endtownverse, foetuses are human until they transform. Makes some sense, also says that their transformation is more cosmetic than anything.
Clearly, Aaron doesn’t want us to like the lizards..Piotr showed nothing good about this society, and I think he knew it. It’s why, initially, I thought he wanted to escape with Sarah and her cohorts. However, his comments the last time we saw him cast doubts upon that..As for Sarah, I guess we’re to assume that she, too, is finally offended enough to resist Piotr’s offer..So, I guess, after this expository is over, the upcoming suspense will be, just how will Jim, Holly, Wally, and Sarah escape this mess!.(With some apologies to Mike Staton and Jim Curtis, this story is starting to resemble the current Dick Tracy story in which Tracy is trapped, along with Little Orphan Annie, in what is presumably a fake Simmons Corners, run by Annie’s arch enemy, Axel)
so are the other “hatchlings” that weren’t lizards kept as slaves too?? Where are they?? Chick I’m sure can’t be the only one…… these lizards are really “Nazi”-ish aren’t they???? Superior race and all that rot.
This strip describes the in vitro fertilization and abortion industries. Except instead of becoming food, embryos and fetuses that don’t get to become people are supplied to stem cell production or cosmetics. No, wait, some are used for food additives, such kidney cells for flavor enhancers.We are the reptilians.
“Clever. You have entirely too much time on your hands!”Actually , if you knew me better, you’d discover i have entirely too LITTLE time. But I am making it my mission to write a parody song for Endtown there times a week. When good ol’ Level Head gets his health and strength back, I hope he’ll join me.
Eek! I came pretty close to calling it for what it was, the truth, even when it meets one’s expectations of such a rigid fascist society are still a shock. Chick is literally the sole survivor an ongoing genocide with cannibalistic overtones.Sicker than Clive Barkers nightmares!How can he work in the kitchen knowing what he knows?The ones the nazi’s let live to work in the crematoria and the pits are the standard to which chick is cast.How could they deal with what they saw or did, just to survive? I raise this question again, “how do we define human?”Is it by strict genetic ratios?One might surmise that the fundamental DNA of a mutant is still largely human. That just enough DNA was altered to make the difference merely physical and physiological.But deep down that self aware spark of consciousness that make us.. Well.. Us.Human…What makes us common ancestors through commonly shared chromosomes…We.. Chordates.We have all have a backbone, whether we chose to use it is what makes us succeed as a species.Often to the woe of those we chose not to to share it with.It’s a good thing our heroes by luck got not to sample the cuisine of the lizard folk. It might have put them off their appetites forever.“The blue pill or the Red pill?”Either way, there’s no turning back now..We’re through the looking glass.it’s only gonna get uglier from here on in, this has been turning dark for some time.We have not noticed the gathering twilight around us…It’s almost night, and a long time before the dawn.If it comes at all…
Every egg is sacred,Every egg tastes great,If an egg is wasted,God gets quite irate,Any egg that’s fertile, if it’s up to scratch – lizard, snake, or turtle – we will let it hatch!

Maybe this is even for Ex-Topsiders a little bit too blunt. Against this Sarah must feel that Topsiders behaves like angels to the mutants.

This certainly fits. These reptiles could not be more cold-blooded.

Cold blooded? I call them out and out evil.

Probably where the ‘elite’ get their non-egg edibles. Wonder if Chick was one of the non-lizard eggs allowed to hatch.

Man, they ain’t yolkin’.
If we took the shells off they wouldn’t be crunchy, would they?
Serious… How do they know whos what until they hatch, do they have ultrasound?

@ cindyorch, I think you nailed their attitude pretty good.
BeniHanna6 Premium Member over 10 years ago
A modern comparison would be, their attitude is pretty much one Muslim sect against any other ethnic group, ie. Isis
scyphi26 over 10 years ago
Endtown starting to look REAAAAAALLLY appealing again, despite it’s political troubles. At least the people there were…SEMI-sane.
As for these lizards, the longer they talk, the further they sink in approval ratings.

This sounds like perpetual motion. It is going to take more energy to produce the eggs that are used for food [energy] and reproduction.
