Endtown by Aaron Neathery for August 20, 2022

I’m still trying to figure out what “moving perpendicular to time” means.

comic book double of his brother would be just a comic book caricature …. without his brothers “essence”…

No souvenirs, kid!

Good thinking from our remaining cat. Not a particularly good excuse there, Marx, after that bit about being “perpendicular to time”.

Something tells me Marx isn’t telling them something.

I really like that seventh panel of Marx….“dang! that kid really has a brain!” look…

In the beginning, Duffy was not my favorite character.

In light of today’s developments, he has moved up considerably.

As in, why come and save Wally, and NOT save Duffy’s brother?

If I recall, isn’t that the reason Duffy came along in the first place?

So, we’re into body-snatching now. Gruesome?

Getting his brother is not as easy as it seems to him. As stated there are two individuals between this reality and the one they are from. But his brother was ripped from his reality….he did not pass like Wally. He may gone forever torn apart when he was taken from his reality…his essence (ball) so to say did not make it into the vortex. He’s not on Marx’s collection list.

We may be in for seeing Duffy choosing to stay.

Is it just me, or is Marx starting to sound a little bit more like Rick Sanchez every day?

Oh and welcome to the Hilbert Hotel of Wallys. No wonder Marx was so confident after destroying Eye, and Eye destroyed Wally: he knew there’d be another Cat to replace him. And another one after that, and another and another… just find another multiverse that hasn’t been Cronenberged yet.

Yeah kid, you can. But Marx doesn’t want to jerk that chain.

Hope to see Wally again!

You know, most cardoodles are “barnyard” according to WOG, but elephants are rare in barnyards. Maybe another jungle animal? Like a mongoose (hope, hope)?

“Listen closely, kiddies, this is as much of an explanation as you’re ever going to get. You better be taking notes, because this is going to be on tomorrow’s pop-quiz. And, oh yeah, in this universe, your brother is toast.”

Something sure isn’t right here…

“I’m late! I’m late! I’m very, very late!”

Interesting times. Popping into the last few moments of another reality to grab the Wally that is about to burn up anyway seems to be morally justified. But is it? It won’t be the nova that removes Wally…it will be Marx. And there’s the “grex” thing. Children born after the event had doodle personalities grafted to them, but without previous experiences there’s no conflict. Adults have bigger problems because their experiences have to merge with a doodle’s. If it doesn’t work—schism, or monsters. Wally was already a grexxed being. Now, will his “essence” which is already grexxed have to blend with a third personality? That is, the Wally they came to get?

If you like toons and toon physics, watch the Roger Rabbit movie and read the four Roger Rabbit books by Gary Wolf.

To bee, or not to bee.
