Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

Thought so. The confident āI know something you donāt knowā expression on Jacobās face in the second panel clued me in that Jacob had an ace up his sleeve (or rather a gun in his hand.) The surprised look on Lucasās face is priceless.
The predator/prey attitude that Lucas expressed is possibly not isolated with just him; weāll see as the story continues to unfold. Did Lucas act like a predator because heād been transformed into a wolf shape? Or did he have predatory tendencies when he still looked human?
Iām thinking back to the Holly/Wally story arc when we were apparently witnessing Hollyās history and her friend Ethel turned into a snake. Ethel seemed puzzled why she could sense fear and why it made her feel hungry. Her snake shape had changed her perceptions/actions. (Though she didnāt live long enough to act on any impulse she might have had.) She wasnāt necessarily that way while still in human form.
ā¦and I maintain my record of bad guesses. LOL So it seems that Jacob goaded Lucas into attacking him. Jacob could claim self-defense. Or, he could say this revolutionary was executed like the others, after all, he wrote the manifesto. Now, what about Dottie?
Well, you gotta give Jake credit. When Flask dusted problems, she was never in any danger from her victims. Jake may have goaded Lucas into the attack, but he did actually act in self defense. Well played, sir.
The āuseful idiotā outlived his usefulness and got liquidated. Shame Lucas never got to realize how he was played by Jacob, but he was too dumb to pick up on that.
Well, no-oneās going to miss him. Hereās just hoping that Dottie is alright, but who are we kidding? No-oneās ever really alright in Endtown.
Itāll be too bad if all of the wolf shit just ends up cementing Jackrabbitās position as leader because people are convinced his heavy-handed tactics are whatās necessary, but given that there seems to be an underlying attempt to undermine his power that the wolves knew nothing about and had nothing to do with thereās still plenty of ways this could go.
Another thing Iām not sure Iāve pointed out is āwhere are the humansā? Early on in the strip there were still quite a few unmutated humans in Endtown, but since human-hating Jackrabbit took over I think the only one weāve seen has been a vision/hallucination of Marxā¦
Perhaps in the final few seconds of his life, just before the trigger had been pulled, Lucas may have finally realized how foolish he had beenā¦, but I doubt it.
Well, that was ill-considered. Yes, Jacob no longer has to worry about the competition as a news writer. But now, heās got nobody to send back to the colony to tell the others to settle down. It may have been more effective to shoot Dottie and let Lucas go. No oneās going to listen to Dottie. On the other hand, sheās less likely to try to start up a new pro-wolf newspaper, too, nowā¦
Does Jacob kill Dottie? Does he lock Dottie up to be forgotten? I have visions of Jacob pulling āback the curtainā and forming an alliance of sorts with Dottie to help rebuild Endtown. He lets her in on the masterplan so to speak. Dottie technically still owns the newspaper, she could be used for good. Or she could be dead shortly, only time will tell.

Jacob, really, really enjoyed that. Considering Lucasās idiot attitude, and his role in the earlier lynching, no loss to the community.

Well played Jacob. Well played indeed.

The wielder of the pen is definitely mightier than the sword, especially when said wielder is well-armed.

Whatās causing all the double posts? I notice itās not on all strips but definitely on this one. Definite nuisance.

Constantly amazes me that ultra-conservative douche bags think that progressives and liberals donāt have weapons!
You donāt get more progressively liberal than the Communist party, and they ALWAYS had arms somewhere.
