Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Philo is being straightforward with his point of view and what he knows; he doesn’t have anything to lose since he’s been set up and now in a heap of trouble.
So now we see what Jacob does with this info that Philo has shared. Does Jacob acknowledge that Philo was played and let him go? Or recruit Philo into helping track down the person(s) responsible? Assuming Jacob doesn’t already suspect the who/why — he’s not stupid by any means.
And, of course, Cooper was the only one Philo talked to, so he has no idea who the contacts are. Even if Jake was to let Philo go, how are they supposed to flush the contacts out? They won’t have to do anything. They can just sit back and relax while the remaining pigs organize a fox hunt.
Foxworthy said “pig suicides”, not “pig murders”. Is it an author slip? If it’s intentional, then Foxworthy knows more than he should. If it’s a slip, then it indicates the pigs are indeed committing suicide in the author’s mind, of their free will, even if it’s under duress.
Do we know when the pig disappearances began? The apartment next to Cooper’s had been “empty” for three years, but Cooper contacted Foxworthy with the forged food shortage papers only a year ago.

Jake: “So, you’re saying that you’ve got nothing for me. Excuse me for a moment, I need to call the rats for an aisle clean-up…”

BTW, love the artwork. Love the changes in perspective from panel to panel.

Y’know, the population of Endtown can’t be that large. Say ten thousand people. If Cooper had handlers, it should be possible to track them down.

I say again… TALLY-HO!!!

Mostly guilty instead of completely guilty. COMPLETELY different!

So, at the rate these stories unfold, how long will it be until we find out what’s behind all this? It’s only been a little over a year so far!

And thus the puppet cuts his strings, now the question remains: Exactly who are Cooper’s handlers?
