Endtown by Aaron Neathery for April 14, 2022

Sorry, it’s raining here!

Translation from Yiddish—“vey is mir”: “woe is me” although “well, shit” or some other statement as not happy with the current situation works as well. Second line “Eyn imglik…” — “one misfortune is too few.” You usually toss that at someone who’s being a putz.

If you’re a Patron, you get the full-size strip in your mail today! If not, ufda.

I can see clearly now..

Since I can now read the dialog (Patron benefit), I notice that Marx has no mouth. Especially in the 3rd panel from the bottom. Significance?

Much more legible than yesterday’s version – or did my eyeballs just cage?

Not that much better AND its only half of the story from yesterday

Marx creates his own reality.

That’s better.

I hate marx so much

Perhaps that “titch of body snatching” has something to do with a future location for Wally’s now purified essence. Since we met Wally and learned at least the synopsis of his life as a brutalized human soldier we have occasionally caught a glimpse of his tortured state in his nightmare scenes; now Marx has purged him of that horrific past?

I see our Storyteller doing a riff on the “Dead to sin; rise to new Life” meme of Western Christian philosophy. It will be interesting what we see at the “picnic” on the other side of that cutout.

Yiddish is appropriate for Passover (starts April 15th)!
