Endtown by Aaron Neathery for June 08, 2018

Time for Velda to take the reins.

Better start thinking of a viable alternative quick.

So…who can remember how we’ve seen Jacob from his first public address about “species acceptance” to just after the milk trial. Pretty unsympathetic character (to put it mildly). How about now? Is anyone happy about his current situation? Kind of interesting.

“I did… and I meant what I said…You are the leader Endtown needs in the days to come…But I know you Jackrabbit, in ways you can’t possibly imagine…Which is why I’m so very, very glad to have lent you a hand…You’re going to do Endtown a world of good…Yessir…A world of good…”

Looks like it’s time for that world of good.

Only until they run out of prey species. Then what? No one really wants to eat wolf or fox.

Suddenly those lobotomies the rats are threatening don’t sound so bad, do they Jake?

Never a pompous panda around when you need one…. ;-)

I think it likely that this cannibal ring will raise some kind of fuss about their ringleader turning up mysteriously dead.

Aaron Mark knew that Jacob was the only person who could get them through all this and save the community he adored. Ergo, they WILL get through this.

Velda may be part of the Inner Circle but only as far as using products that don’t require the death of someone. Like using milk and eggs. Hence her helping Jacob beat Allgood. The list points at an even more sinister inner circle going one step further down the rabbit hole. Jacob will find a way. It will require him to seek out help……like Walt or even Wally returning with tales of Unity.

♫ I’ve got a little list…I’ve got a little list…♫ :D

If Jacob does not collect himself right now, he’ll lose Velda, the rats and everything.

I guess that’s this week’s cliffhanger: By “future of humanity,” does Jacob mean cannibalism, or that Endtown is doomed?

Never mind the war with the Topsiders! There’s a war going on inside Endtown, and it looks like the good guys are losing…

Jacob needs a miracle… and all the help he can get.

@Cheapskate0, if things don’t get better there or in some other part of the world where the ecosystems are not wiped away, then cannibalism and starvation for the few not eaten is their future. Grim by any means. The same goes in any variation of this scenario you can think of. Food and fresh water.

In a simpler word, “yes”.

And if you go chasing rabbitsAnd you know you’re going to fallTell ’em a hookah-smoking caterpillarHas given you the call

I’d say that the definition of humanity has changed in this post-apocalyptic world.

Someone smack some sense into that rabbit. Before he goes out to be eaten.

So, Mavis is dead? The machine killed her? Why else would you put “her body” in her apartment?

Cannibals are like fire ants. When you get them, your only choice is to burn down the house and collect on the insurance. After that, of course, the wife demands a divorce, collects half of everything, and then runs off with your truck and the dog. Now, tell me how a lobotomy would make anything worse?

You mean to tell me convincing a slowly starving anthropomorphic populace to embrace their animal identities wouldn’t have this fallout effect? Pfffffft naaaaaaw. /s

This is all on you, Jackrabbit.

Poor Jake. Down the Rabbit hole without a paddle. (or shovel)

What if you turn only the naturally deceased into bacon – eh – soylent green? Will it stop there? Can it be contained? I am afraid its the same with torture. Once you find excuses for few cases, soon it will be common practise on shoplifiting.

Velda, still holding her cigarette holder in spite of the burden. Classy. BTW, what do they smoke ? Do they salvage cigarettes too ?

Well, let’s take this meat logic in another direction… When they run out of wine, do they become vampires?

Hmm, Cannibalistic Vampires. Now that’s a unique story plot.

Okay, Jacob, take your moment to have a meltdown, then take a deep breath and figure out what you’re going to do next. I don’t see him as a quitter.

schism anyone?

So many comments.
