Endtown by Aaron Neathery for December 25, 2017

Thank you Aaron. Merry Christmas to you, too.

Thank you, Aaron! Merry Christmas to Aaron and all our friends here in the Endtown comics forum!

Happy what it is you celebrate, Aaron! To everyone else, deal.

D’aww! <3

So…is this iron-y? Merry Christmas!!

Glad to see these two back again. Always wondered what became of them after that story arc.

Love it!

Thank you Mr. Neathery.

Love the bow on her tail.

Domestic bliss at last – peace be with you also, Mr. Neathery!

Many have already said it, and probably better than I can. But dag nab it, I sure love seeing Kirby and Wally again!

A very Merry Christmas to Mr. Neathery and all his fans!

Merry Christmas all…this is so cool!

Wait a minute. They’re living above ground? And there’s trees and snow, not a toxic wasteland? Where are they? Or is this a dream?

Soon…

Thank you Mr. Neathery!

Best. Christmas. Gift. Ever!

Brilliant. And good to see those four again.

Brilliant. And good to see those four again.

Merry Christmas and good health to all of you. I see Kirbie’s present was to get her tail back.

Backatcha, Aaron!

Merry Christmas! It’s great to see Kirby, Chik, & Wally in an adorable Christmas scene. Thank you, Aaron.

A nice bit of fun for an Xmas day.

Merry Christmas thank you for the beautiful day.

Very nice, Aaron. Always glad to have old friends visit on Christmas. Hope you’re having a great holiday season and that 2018 is a healthy and happy year. Thanks for sharing your gifts with all of us…keep doing what you’ve been doing.

This is late and I know it. Thank you, Aaron. This is a wonderful comic and I hope to see it in a future Endtown book.

A greatest of the day to all of you, fellow readers.

Merry Christmas to my companions on this journey to discover the mysteries of Endtown. Greetings to Aaron N. and your family, and thank you of the treat of seeing our good old friend Wally, Kirby, Chick and Irving! Would also love to see Holly and her family in her alternative reality, And to Walt and his friends, and Jake Jackrabbit and the rats, and all!

I don’t feel right seeing the lizard woman filling in for my favourite mouse.

I did that to one of my Dress Blues Shirt when a General was going to inspect the 50th Tactical Fighter Wing.It’s a good thing I had some spares.Thank you so much Aaron for all the years of excellence you’ve given us and we all wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Wonderful and Prosperous New Year!

Did y’all notice that at the very top of the first panel is the word “Meanwhile?” This indicates that this is not just an off-topic or unrelated strip. While the story in Endtown is going on, Wally and company are somewhere in a place where there are trees and they can live in relative comfort on the surface. Aaron will probably bring us to that story soon.

Kirby got a new tail!!! :-)

While everyone is waiting for the next strip, here’s part of the latest newsletter.

Given that Grout, Endtown’s chief of police, is playing a significant role in this current arc, you may be interested to know that his character design and general personality are patterned after British comedian Will Hay. Hay’s usual stooges, the comedy team of Moffatt and Marriott, are likewise the inspirations for Harbottle (the goat cop) and Moffatt (the pig cop). Hay isn’t much known in the US, but of all the British comedians of the 30s and 40s, his films are probably the most accessible to an American audience. Here are his two best features (IMO), Oh, Mr. Porter! (1937) and Where’s that Fire? (1939). The latter’s “fire pole” sequence gives the Marx Bros. “stateroom sequence” from A Night at the Opera (1935) a run for its money for steadily rising chaos.

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New year! Thank you Mr. Neathery and the rest of you with your friendly faces.

She may be a ditz, but she’s creative _

Shane Graytail: She’s no ditz. In many ways, I often think she’s the smartest one of the bunch! Among other things, Kirby seems to have the ability to see the so-called silver lining in every cloud – a talent that most others in this strip have long ago lost…

“It is mistakes, not necessity, that are the mother of invention.” —Maggie Righetti, Crocheting in Plain English

Kirbee has amply demonstrated the truth of that principle. Certainly she possesses a quality that ‘smart’ people sometimes lack: resourcefulness.

We do miss getting a glimpse of Holly. If Doc could go give her a short visit, they could have a short talk, without being a long arc, just a coming together of old friends, and to see how Holly is doing with her “family”. Once in a while I try to find the end of that, if it is real enough for Holly, it can be real enough for me. And also thank you Aaron for the graduation of the rats from their “childhood-teen years” when they were “Just barely big enough for their britches” to now as fully mature members of Endtown. I think the time when they were almost slaughtered got them to be allowed to be fully functioning characters, even though at the time, the poor fellow’s head scraped across the elevator floor.

Good Save
