Endtown by Aaron Neathery for July 29, 2021

Are the “subjects” also to be “finalized”?

Why do I read panel four and am reminded of an old Star Wars quote: “I’ve got a bad feeling about this”?

The “Eden Project” has lost touch with Eden. They’ve lost Amesworth. They’ve lost Veichmann/Ravenscroft, and most other personnel. They’re cut off from support by other colonies. What they do have is Wally, who may be the key grex persona and they have whatever work is left in Veichmann’s office:https://www.gocomics.com/endtown/2020/09/02

So the question remains; is this the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning…

Rather ominous….

Considering the way they operate killing is part of their “medicine”.

The good kind of finalized, or the “burn the evidence” kind of finalized?

Finalized as in tell us how to avoid becoming monsters when our suits fail?

These guys seem to be the sort to believe

“Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”

I dunno. Can they open the door?

Looks like Endtown is going to be wrapping up in about 2 minutes!

Of course, Wally will take whatever happens lying down. I don’t think so!

I hope they don’t try to leave Wally hanging out to dry. He’s the wrong person to mess with!

This is a surprise.

Terrence: “Yeah, I know. Reports.”

Okay. Look Terrence. We both said a lot of things that you’re going to regret. But I think we can put our differences behind us and finalize this project. For science. You monster.

Define “finalized”!

“Welcome to Eden, please watch your step. Don’t listen to the snake and don’t bite The Apple.”

Uh, finalized, like in “if we can’t have it then nobody will?”

Project Eden? Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Finalized sounds ominous

From the latest Endtown Status Report Well, hell. This absolutely hasn’t been my month. Hospitalized once again, spent a further week coping with the side-effects of the antibiotics, then turned around and got the Moderna jab which put me out of action for a few more days. Now my LG G4, the camera of which which I’ve been using to “scan” the strip ever since my flatbed scanner broke, is suddenly caught in what’s known as a bootloop, a known hardware malfunction that requires me to repeatedly place the phone in a freezer in order to get it to occasionally function.. albeit briefly. And today, it won’t boot up at all. So, although the next strip is drawn, it’s stuck on a piece of paper until a replacement for my G4 shows up in the mail this Saturday. I’ll admit to feeling extremely thwarted at the moment.

It looks to me like Aaron’s getting ready to wrap this comic up and conclude it.

Waiting and waiting and waiting for you to update your comic. Granted, I understand that interstate moves are quite a hassle and a big pain in the butt, and getting settled takes work and time but even back when you were sick in the hospital you always at least let us know how you were doing and when you were going to get back to working on the comic but, now, you don’t even leave us – your most loyal and devoted fans – any word as to why you’re not updating this comic every three days like you used to? It’s a shame and I do hope you get things back to a three day schedule like you used to have because I really don’t care at all for whatever it is you’re doing, now. Even Sarah Jolley (who writes The Property Of Hate and who went through a really horrible divorce) kept us all updated with little bits of what was going on with her. Nothing detailed, mind you, but just enough to let us know what was going on. She’s back writing, now, and I’m glad of it. Other than the move we don’t know what’s happening with you but we do hope all is well with you and that you do get back to a more regular schedule, soon.
