Endtown by Aaron Neathery for September 17, 2018

Aaron Neathery deserves a break. Boy, does he ever!

See your favourite characters in the flesh.

Same Bat time, same Bat channel.

Enjoy your break, Aaron! I’m looking forward to the continuation of the story when you get back. :-)

♪ Let’s all go to the lobby… ♫

Those snacks seem to be mostly pork derived. I’m so hungry I could wolf them down.

Hope it’s not illness related Aaron. If you’re just taking a break, enjoy!

A fine display of pork products here. Morbidly cute.

I think this is the first break this year. Enjoy some time off, Aaron!

Let’s all go to the lobby, let’s all go to the lobby, let’s all go to the lobby, and get ourselves a snack.

Thats cool. Decompress.

Ok,I’ll meat you back here in October.Hopefully I will still be able to comment/see comments.

We all need time to process this.

I…. Don’t know how to feel about this.

You realize I’ll still be checking every Monday, Wednesday and Friday? Just in case? (Giving up smoking was hard too.)

I’ll be waiting with baited breath…

Ptui! Gotta stop eating bait.

Nice representation of the different kinds of pork products LOL

See ya then, then.

Let’s all go to the Lobby Let’s all go to the Lobby Let’s all go to the LobbyAnd get yourself some pig!

Maybe the comic will be approached with a little more optimism on the return, but I’m probably getting my hopes up for nothing.

Gosh! How will I fill the days until October? Hey, I know! I’ll read those neat Endtown books I bought! :3

Time to take Endtown off my “check every day” stack and give things a rest. I know I’ll come back to it eventually, but I think I need more than a month’s rest… we’ve had unremitting downers since Gustine saved Al’s life many years ago, and I can’t take any more without a major rest break.

Nice to have a notice.

Enjoy your break, Mr. Neathery. You’ve earned it. See you later!

I’m still thinking the pork conspiracy is over and all we were seeing for the last couple of weeks was a “fond farewell” to the fallen in the last arc.

One of you has said Wally is coming back for the next arc.

We shall see.

22-Oct-18 it will be.

Somehow that intermission art seems tasteless

Enjoy your wait staff, everybody!

Enjoy your vacation Aaton! Meanwhile I’m sure that come October 22nd, we’ll be BACON your cast of HAMS to be at it again.

Enjoy the time off, you deserve it. I’ll be waiting when you return.

I wonder if anything containing pork bi-products comes from gay porcines?

I could use a rest. Soon it will be back!!!

Glad nobody’s beefing about the intermission artwork.

There’s just one snag.

Is it October 22 yet? Is it? Is it?

By the way…you’re not gonna leave that up till October 22nd, are you? Some pre-seen artwork would be nice…

I just thought I’d come by and feed the crickets.

Hope you’re doing okay Aaron!!

To any newcomers to Endtown: This image is only a placeholder, and a reminder of the last story “arc”. The segment, which began in December of 2016, is a long, emotional story detailing how many people suffered the ills of Endtown society…and how some were cured.

During the hiatus, how about an Endtown trivia quiz? I’ll start with a question. First one that answers correctly (with reference to the appropriate installment so we can all see), posts the next question. All questions must relate to something revealed within the strip (no insights from Mr. Neathery, or from elsewhere).Also, include the link to strip containing the answer so all can see. If you want to play…first question: “Who sent Gustine on her quest to find the mystery plant?”

My question: When Wally showed Holly his only photograph of himself as a pre-mutation human, what did she do?

I think olongapojoe made a good connection between the spec-wearing wolf who chased Portia at the beginning—and the drug dispenser she shot later. Because of that comment I re-read the next early strip. I think it foreshadowa Portia’s actions a year later (in our time). Wow…. https://www.gocomics.com/endtown/2017/01/06
