Endtown by Aaron Neathery for May 25, 2016

Well, there’s bad and then there’s BAAAAAAD!!! Recalculating….. ;-)

Oh look! It’s Hell’s Kitchen! ;-)

What are all those crab boat sailors doing in the kitchen? ;-)

Aw, I love the design of these three chefs. Too bad they’re dead now.

They won’t see eye to eyes.

Too many cooks in the kitchen? Too many Buddibombs?

Looks like Doc is kinda on his feet now.

now with luck they will skip Holly and Doc and go straight for the real Monster!! Run Holly/Doc run!!

We know Holly had nothing to do with this one. Maybe it’s something in the food.

Let us now come together, and bid a fond farewell to the health inspector…

Now how many are thinking “out of the frying pan and into the fire?”

That is going to be one BIG explosion!

Considering that more and more mutants seem to be showing up, I think we’re reaching critical mass for the explodey monster-filled apocalypse. Also, who fights a monster with a ladel? Get a cheese grater! That’ll hurt.

Hopefully they’ll latch on to the bigger one with teeth before they go “YAY!”

Oh look, free-range, gluten-free, organic M&Ms. They must be the freshest because they are still walking. I wonder how many of those Cookie Monster’s cousin the M&M Monster can scarf up.

Sheer luck!

That’s a LOT of buddibombs!! If they aim for the biggest threat, Holly and Doc have a better chance of escaping. All those bombs going off at once in going to seriously damage the structure of the building the restaurant is in. Any bombs not exploded will wind up trapped for a time in the rubble. Holly and Doc just need to clear the building before they go off.

Tonight’s Iron Chef challenge is…

Dadof3 my comment for the week!

Maybe they were heading for the kitchen, anyway? Everyone , head for the door eyeronosaurus rex won’t fit, and it’ll be fighting off the buddi’s for your delaying action.

Oh, just great – another mouth to feed.

If a half dozen BuddiBombs could level a city block, I don’t think Holly can reach a safe radius. Of course, this is history, so she must have, but dang…

Man, I sure don’t want to eat at that restaurant…

I Agree, the chefs look like a comedic still life, poised for a snapshot, well not posed, just “captured” Aaron has a subtle humor.So I guess Holly better run as fast and as far from the monster as she can. The Buddibombs look redirected, a doing what they are supposed to do.If she thinks of it she should yell Run! as she runs past the the crowd.

Chef Pierre is about to become Paris Pate.

And the Dragoncat Award for Best LOL goes to……DADOF3!!! Great way to start off the commentary!

Look, it’s the Squeamish Chef!Zheer, Bor Zheer, Dee Doo, Da Dish-Ka-Doo;Zheer Bor Dee DorDee Dor Doo BAD BAD YAY!

Holly’s trapped. Monsters in front, Buddibombs in back. And she’s hobbled by having to drag Chase. Time to call Uber.

Are some Buddibombs flying? Or do they just bounce really high? Some look like they have never touched ground. Has anyone tried to count them?

Would they both fit in the oven? It might withstand the blast, and they could get in there in just a couple of steps.

It’s a bombmob!

Hey, Buddibombs! Look! It’s an obvious distraction!

" ‘Till from behind the counter, I saw a man / A chef hat on his head and a knife in his hand / He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout / ’You’d better eat up all your beans, boy and clear right on out!’ "

It may be MonsterChef but that isn’t Gordon Ramsey.

(Though some may argue the fact)

One thing I always wondered, were there ever pet animals in the past or present of the Endtown world? Anyone have an answer or example I’ve missed?

Has anyone else thought they might we able to sneak into the oven? It would probably be exploding-proof.

Aaaw, bet it was their last day of work too – or at least it is now.

I just had occasion to look at the comic for December 25th, 2015…you remember, the gang were looking at a news ticker going around a building…one word was obscure and hard to read: the ticker said, “Apex [obscure word] top Christmas gift this year.”Obviously, the word was “buddibombs.”

Jeez…so apparently all the explosions back in Holly’s neighborhood probably were buddibombs. Look at them all! That must have been some ad campaign, aided by fear of monsters. I wonder when Sparkplug and his wife saw the news broadcast showing a mutant was in relation to this moment.

I just want to say something, as everyone waits for Friday’s update.Look at that artwork! It’s fantastic work and it takes an unimaginable amount of effort to make just one day’s strip. Adding tones and shading takes 4-6 hours alone. Appreciate the art we’ve got now, and realize what’s gone into it. And then think about the fact that Aaron’s been working on this arc for months, and still has a couple of months to go on it. And think a bit about setting up a patreon account and just give him a dollar a month on it. Who knows, maybe next month, he’ll be able to afford the GOOD macaroni and cheese boxes.

I just picture the gang floating above all this watching it all unfold.

Got to love Aaron’s humorous touch with the chef’s hat on the REAL monster! And if the last panel is any indication the buddibombs are going straight for the monster and not Holly!
