Endtown by Aaron Neathery for January 29, 2020

Literally, an earworm…?

He’s going to rip her suit, isn’t he?

It’s about to turn into a Doctor Who episode.

A little dab will do ya!

Good news, Everyone!

Infection.

Ladies and Gentlemen, things are about to go SOUTH.

Ruh roh Raggy.

Which God is Tim thanking exactly…

I have a pretty good idea which god thinks it’s being thanked. The one listening on the antenna.

Tim….Jim. The parallel is undeniable. I wonder what happens when a human in a biosuit goes through Schism Syndrome, a la https://www.gocomics.com/endtown/2014/11/03?ct=v&cti=1621572.

This is going to be a wild ride!

To quote T.Prachett: “Poison goes where poison is welcomed.”

So hard to tell anything by reading their faces…

Hmm, is Neathery a fan of “The Expanse?”

A little protomolecule, anyone?

And I love how the suits allow sweat to escape!

@LightWarriorK : Hmm, going one day previous to your link, we find Piotr explaining Schism Syndrome to Sarah:

“Complete mental collapse, Sarah!”

“Animal tendencies take over!”

“Homicidal!” "

Psychotic!"

Now remember that Duffy planned to knife the topsider, and would have except for Wally’s intervention.

So— homicidal…

Then Wally & Amesworth see Duffy using teeth and claws to kill the fish (not having seen the fish attack). So it would look like animal tendencies taking over…

So yeah, they might stare and wonder about Duffy’s mental state…

Is that a spark from Sparkplug Sanders? That may be all that is left of him, even immortality does not guarantee a body, (does it???).He may now be one with the “EYE”.

“Sticks and stones can break my bones,

but words can never…”

“Tim, you ok? You still in there? Tim?”

i want to take a nap.

Where’s Wally?!

Don’t worry, you can tell him in person. Tim is about to have a close encounter of the worst kind… ;-)
