Endtown by Aaron Neathery for May 09, 2022

So, everything except our heroes is in color?

Maybe there are things that Marx cannot tell them, for some reason. But why does he have to play with them like this?

Marx kept his promise – he answered the question. But we’re still no wiser than before it was asked.

Nice work on the colors. All those answers and yet no answers. Wally is existing as a sentient cloud of energy, right out of original Star Trek. That’s one heck of a ‘preparation’ to train him for. On the plus side he’ll come out of it with a bonus to all electrical work, though the only things left in White Sands is brain-jacked cyborgs. None of the christmas tree lights it’s originally meant for.

Somewhere, out there, is a mutated Topsider that has suddenly developed an extreme fascination with the dimensionometer…

He has a way with words and a healthy ego for sure!

Hmmm, the real fight? Well, that does bode well for the continuation of the story of our friends here. Now, someone ask him what the real fight is, please, pretty please, with Russian dressing (Is Neathery playing with us? — Well, of course he is!) on top!

Is he a happy sentient cloud, or is he screaming on the inside..?

Somehow I still feel the wally we know is dead. Even if his ‘essence’ is preserved like some kind of brain in a jar. Reconstructed or resurrected or regenerated or whatever marx has planned I really dont think he will be the same.

“Good morning Starshine….the earth says hello…you twinkle above us…we twinkle below”; might as well have a corny song to go with Marx’s shtick.

He’s all ears.

All of a sudden I’m hungry for a Reuben sandwich.

Lies Marx, dirty lies. When Mister Reuben Kulakofsky presented his sandwhich, he used Thousand Island Dressing. If you want Russian Dressing, that’s fine, but don’t call it a Reuben.

Stare into the void and it stares back, stare into the Dimensionmeter and it punches you in the schnoz….

Judge all by the pastrami!

Time to go find a Wally from one of their dream excursions and merge the essence! My vote is to reconstitute Gingerbread Cookie Wally. He looked like he had some snap to him.

Justice League Endtown.

Marx just set Wally up as a Christ figure, with three disciples (so far). Soon he’ll be resurrected. This is the Last Picnic. And the way Terrance is looking at the dimensionometer, and seeing the map patterns to other dimensions, he is being tempted and will betray them.

Yay! Wally is only “mostly dead”!

Just like back on the Queen…. The last major character he had to deal with was Flask wanting to destroy Topsiders. Now Wally got important enough to draw immense power causing reality stability problems. In his speaking about the curse and the center he wasn’t referring to Wally…..he was referring to himself.

Aaron knows his Reubens

As far as developing a sense of style, it’s obvious Duffy is developing his just by who he is. Alan and Terrence seem to have a far way to go.

Hope Aaron is ok. Anyone know anything?

I’ve come back every day since the 9th, to find the same strip up. Now I’m craving a reuben!
