And, just so you know, I’m completely open to donations. The cat and mouse that live in my head will thank you. :-)
PS: Just thought you all might like to know that Endtown originals are still for sale. Contact me at aaronneathery@gmail.com for details, prices, and availability.
the dittos arent organic as i thought they were?they could be something the people on that ship made
these people could even be a new side we havent seen before (so far we only seen topsiders and mutants )
so far we still dont know who made mutant virus we know who made those weapons the topsiders use from sparkplug flashback but we dont know anything about the virus
Well, will it be Mallard or members of another mutant colony in this aircraft? Perhaps they are also friendly with the dittos.What happened to the friendly PT that our heroes were in?
BELIEVE IT OR NOT (Endtown version) (to the tune of the theme from “The Greatest American Hero”, by Mike Post and Stephen Geyer)Look at what’s happened to me.I can’t believe it myself. I’m suddenly out of the field of fire.They’re shooting at somebody else.Believe it or not, I’m way over there,And not the spot that they thought I’d be.With Dittos on board, I can go anywhere.No-one will see.Believe it or not, I’m just free.It’s like a nightmare gone bad.A horrible dream that came true.We cornered the Mutants – I thought we had.Instead, it was video goo!Believe it or not, I’m shooting at air.I’m getting covered, and I can’t see.I’m dying out here, and I haven’t a prayer!Who could it be?I wish anybody but me.
Okay… an alien abduction. But it’s a NICE alien abduction. After our favourite charactes have been gunned down and reduced to piles of dust before our eyes, EVERYTHING’s an improvement.Seriously, I for one feel – and I wonder if others agee – that I’m being taken kindly through a journey, and steadied by the firm and gentle guidance of a master story teller. And after having steeled my faith to get me through the spirit-wrenching crisis of the recent weeks, and having had my faith rewarded by the final outcome, I feel as if I’m strong enough to make my way through anything there is. This has truly been a growth experience. It’s very rare to find that in a story.
Ok. There are more things in heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in my little brain. That’s why we have Aaron! :-) I’m gonna hazard a guess that bolo capture nets are NOT standard issue TS technology and coupled with the fact that the standard TS doctrine seems to be shoot twice and don’t bother asking questions, whoever launched that little beauty was not a member of the biosuit brigade
I feel safe in stating at this point that we are now in the presence of what Flask and Wally saw 2 weeks ago. Perhaps their chins are no longer on the floor. But what inquiring minds really want to know is: Has Flask managed to re-acquire the ability to speak? The Blackie Blackout is now officially at 74 panels and counting…
This is absolutely what was seen above by Flask and Wally. Something that neither had seen before – and we’re talking head of security and someone who wandered the great waste almost the entire length of the time it’s BEEN a great waste. If neither of them know what it is…
I’ve said before this storyline seems a game-changer. This could be a very good reason why.
do you think this could be another group/faction? (cant find the righ word)a group of people who arent topsiders or underground living mutants (maybe a group of humans who never got exposed to the virus and mutants)
We know! there are other survivor towns from in the vicinity from the names on Mallard’s communicator. The Topsider’s were a different set of survivors from the mutant’s own part of the world. It is a large world with room for friends and enemies at any level of technology.
Jenner – I always enjoy your ‘musical’ posts, but today’s contribution, which resurrected many fond memories of “The Greatest American Hero” is my favorite … so far!
How do you think I feel? I generally read Monday’s strip the first thing of the day at work. That means I can’t wait for my weekend to be over, so I can GO TO WORK and see how the cliffhanger starts to unfold!?! What’s wrong with this picture?
As to todays strip, I have no idea what’s going on. Could be just about anybody or anything. Com’on Monday!
Let’s assess this logically:dittos – something oldthis “thing” Wally saw – something…new,Petey – something borrowed (his brain by TS, his body from Mallard),Us – something blue (cause it’s Friday).OMG! That’s it! Flask and Petey are getting married! Gosh, I just love logical analysis! ;-)
Notice how this was the perfect weapon to use against PETEY. His propeller caught the weights and closed the net. This may have been planned in advance.
How about… a renegade group of topsiders who actually like mutants because they have friends and family members who are mutants. Petey, who was Flask’s significant other was working for them on the inside when he was discovered and re-purposed as a transporter. Given my track record for anticipating Aaron’s impending plot directions, I wouldn’t bet on it… :-)
Somehow I am thinking whatever nabbed Petey has Flask, Linda, Wally and Holly aboard. Hopefully as operators, not captives! But then, that may just be a tad too obvious!
Received my mail from you. I was so excited I wandered around to everyone I know to show them. I don’t wonder well, so it took me a while. Be prepared to accept a small box from me within the month. I have decided I love you….. Because of the art of course.
They’re going to put a radio collar on Petey and turn him back into the wild. I think they want to study his mating habits. If they give him a probe, they’ll find he’s a metal can with a human head inside, and they could end up poking him up the nose.
I utterly agree, Jenner… To be hurled into sorrow, then uplifted into wondrous hopefulness by these exciting new events is truly masterful…
And by the way,…you exhibit these traits yourself too, as a creator of fine comics, don’t forget…
Not only am I delighted by the possibility that our heroes still live, but I am undeniably eager to see what new players in this game are going to be revealed to be!
Bravo Aaron,…you’ve done it again (and, in fact, you never cease to amaze us)…
There could also be a “Chrysalids” aspect to it… some rescuers from a region that was not affected by the war. Sticking with the Sparkplug theory for now though…

So, it looks to be way too large for an airscout, so maybe this is the whatever thingie that Flask and Wally saw?
bikenboatn over 12 years ago
So, the ultimate objective was to capture Mallard’s unique piece of Endtowner technology, now under the persona of Petey?

wowthis could mean
the dittos arent organic as i thought they were?they could be something the people on that ship made
these people could even be a new side we havent seen before (so far we only seen topsiders and mutants )
so far we still dont know who made mutant virus we know who made those weapons the topsiders use from sparkplug flashback but we dont know anything about the virus
this could go in any direction ..!!! i love this!

And they didn’t need very sophisticated technology either. A weighted net!

My first question to the aliens: “Now, look, do you have ANY food other than beans? You do?!!! Great! WE COME IN PEACE!”
Jenner Premium Member over 12 years ago
Hooray! It’s the visiting Mutants from Japan! They all turned into anime characters!
jerseycajun over 12 years ago
I am wondering what that net is made of. We’ve just seen Petey demolish an (admittedly) hollow-but-full-size rocket single handed.

I still think it’s Sparkplug…
