Endtown by Aaron Neathery for November 30, 2015

This can’t be good….

Bell tower flashbacks?

So, it is the Edmond Fitzgerald! I can’t quite make out what Holly is looking at in Panel 3. Is it that she’s looking down at where they’ve come from? And, there’s quite a stretch for Kirbee from the end of the railing to the open door. How’s she going to bridge that?

a ship with a load of tackonite iron ore, should have some storm damage. let’s see how it turns out.

If it’s the Edmund Fitzgerald, they must be somewhere around Lake Superior.

With a load of iron ore 26,000 tons morethan the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty…

Interesting thought: If the EF had sunk like this, straight down like a tower, then the crew could have survived by standing at the stern since the ship was longer than the depth of water in which it sank.

Of course, the Edmund Fitzgerald didn’t originally have rocket engines.

Kirbee: “Everyone now! Row, row, row your boat!”

in the 1at panel it looks like the angle has gone the other way.From the song it seems like they were all awake at the end, so may be monsters here.so Hopping to her death would sound good to her.

In our reality the Fitz broke up and is on the bottom in two pieces.

Yep, it IS the Edmund Fitzgerald!

Superior, they said, never gives up her dead,when the gales of November come early.

considering the average semi-tractor-trailer maxes out at 40 tons gross weight (rig weight plus full load), the cargo weight on the EF was roughly equivalent to 650 fully laden big rigs.

It bothered me that what we’re seeing from the outside in panel 3 doesn’t match up with the exterior of the ship in the other panels. Then it occurred to me that Holly might be flashing back to a different time and a different place, when she was a lot more likely to jump. Either the clock tower, or a tall apartment building.

Look at a rail like that from the proper angle and it will look exactly like that.

And it could be that she is debating if she could kill herself by jumping – and plans to do it.

In the background a song plays over the intercom

“Love, exciting and newCome aboard. We’re expecting youand Love, Life’s sweetest rewardlet it flow, it floats back to you.

LOVE BOAT soon will be making another runThe Love Boat promises something for everyoneSet a course for adventureYour mind on a new romance

And Love wont hurt anymoreIts an open smile on a friendly shoreYes LOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE

Welcome aboard……It’s LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!(on and on and on)Its the LOVE BOAT! Its the LOVE BOAT!!!!!"and Gavin McCloud walks out on deck, all smiling and all.

Looks like Holly may be experiencing a case of Vertigo.

Perhaps it is the Edmund Fitzgerald, just not the original…

A tribute ship built to model a famous Earth boat? Perhaps the Lucraneans have a flying Titanic stashed somewhere…

Don’t look down Holly. Holly, why are you looking down? Holly….

The Lucraneans seem to like refitting sunken ships (assuming the O. Queen was one), and they’re not any known race, and Aaron told me they are from this world and not aliens… I think they’re Atlanteans or some other underwater or subterranean race. They would have survived the End under the surface, and taken advantage of the surface salvage opportunities and figure they don’t have to hide from the landlubbers any more.

I think Holly’s having a flashback to the tower in Endtown where she nearly jumped off.

It need not be the “Edmund Fitzgerald.” Perhaps the “Lorentz-FitzGerald.”

Somebody did some research. Aside from the jet pods, not a bad rendition of the E. F. ;-)
