Endtown by Aaron Neathery for March 15, 2012

They haven’t eaten for 48 hours also. I would call that an all round joyous feast. Dig you hungry hounds. Blessed Be.

I think Marx just won over his guests’ love through their stomachs.

How hungry did you get, Aaron, while drawing that wonderful feast. It made me hungry just looking at it. Sigh.Blessed BE

“If you’re vegans, then I do have some spare cans of beans, if you want them.”

Guess I was off about the beans. Once again I am in awe of the amazing detail Aaron has created in this strip. Simply awesome!

There’s a difference between this repast That would break the crew’s long-imposed fast From their diet of beans Do we know what this means? Perhaps now they’ve come home at last Of course Linda’s not quite so equipped For eating some flesh that’s been ripped From its prior position But in her new condition Perhaps he’s got leaves for her, snipped That’s assuming her new-style digesting Is in line with the shape she’s investing But we really don’t know (Nor does she) if it’s so This meal is a chance for that testing But cats can eat meat, so decorous Such as Aaron has laid out before us And for Holly, these perks Likely work for her works For the mouse is, like us, omni-vorous I’m amused, and have some fair delight At the closeup we’re getting tonight As the scene here zooms in To the fine meal within Dodging candles, it shifts to the right =|====/ Level Head Vote for Endtown 2.0 And for Doc Rat, too The Endtown Forum And don’t forget to vote for both for Ursa Major awards!

To quote Cypher

I know this steak doesn’t exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious.After 9 years, you know what I have learned?Ignorance is bliss.

Hmm. Suddenly, I’m having visions of this comics past when I look at this image… http://cheezpictureisunrelated.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/wtf-photos-videos-untitled.png

Waahahahah! I was already hungry, now I’m hungry AND depressed. I’m going to eat my ramen noodles and stare longingly at that feast. So delicious-looking! I miss Thanksgiving dinner.

also, WHERE IN THIS POSTAPOCALYPTIC WORLD DID HE GET THIS???

Perhaps he transform the junk like the professor transformed the beans (he made chicken, odd for a duck but…) or like all you say it is just a illusion… hope not those fellows need a snack :)

I know – the food is all drugged. He’s going to send them to sleep then cut out their brains.

Look! He’s drinking Chateau Mouton Rothschild ’66!

I bet there’s even a power socket for Petey. By the way, what about the transporter, still in the junkyard?

Remember, everyone. When Mr Neathery wrote and drew this, he was very unwell with a serious infection, and he was on all sorts of medications. (He’s mostly recovered now, by the way, but I think we could all give him our appreciation for continuing to slug on and produce our favourite comic strip, in a situation when less dedicated professionals may have shut up shop and taken sick leave. And don’t forget, it left him with medical bills. So, even if you’re not in a position to buy something from him, then spread the Endtown word, vote for Endtown in the Ursa Major Awards, also vote often in the Top Webcomics, tell all your friends, get them to buy the Endtown books when they’re out, and last but not least, contact him and tell him how much you like him.)

As long as there is no beans. They will eat anything.

No wonder no one in Endtown could find anything else but beans. They weren’t looking high enough.I think someone’s about to be chewed out for keeping all this food from starving mutants. And he’ll counter with asking them how he would get it to them.Their darker thoughts may make them wonder not where all this food came from, but who.

memory based food? i wonder…

“Three Steps Over Japan said

@evancp8

I’m in Japan, so I know that feeling (about missing Thanksgiving). You?"

I’m in Korea, but working with the military, I have access to American holiday fare. :D

That guy is totally a wack job. Nobody puts pineapple slices with cherries on roast turkey.

Hmmm, the dittoes are still making arrows. Hope the feast is real or we’re in for some truly disappointed folks.Once again, Aaron, I love the artwork. The facial expressions in panel 2 are priceless. I want to take Holly home, Can I take her home? I really want to take her home. Please!?! :-)

Not any more.

This guy travels through time and dimensions like walking into the next room. I would imagine groceries are not a big deal. Also, the ability to produce this kind of spread for one dinner party does not necessarily translate into supplying several thousand people 3 squares a day. I expect they will not look a gift roast turkey in the mouth (er beak). Bon appetite! :-)

Hope there’s a tall bottle of 10W40 for Petey…..

Even Flask’s mouth is hanging open. She must see that fish.The vegans can eat the carrots!

If he wanted to kill them for their brains, he could have taken them out one at a time when he first captured them. Far less trouble. Or waited for them to sleep; even less trouble. Or gassed them…

MY big question is where does one find a huge supply of meat while flying in a big blimp far above the disintegrated ruins of the Earth? It’s not like there’s a grocery store anywhere around anymore. I guess contragrav isn’t the only power this guy has — matter replication seems to be in his bag of tricks as well.

Hmmm, am I the only one feeling a bit peckish?

I see that ham and think “UNCLE SID!”

Could someone pass me the gravy, please.

Does anyone else feel like crying over the tuna sandwiches they packed for lunch this morning?

Relax msowards, Aaron M. may be an eccentric, but he’s a good guy.

Being “odd” myself, I have to say I’m really starting to like this guy…

I love the expression in the last panel…

soylent green?

That’s a thought…. if he’s a dimension traveller there may be a parallel dimension where the apocalypse never occurred…if he’s a time traveller he could be recycling feasts from the past (explains how the kitchen bills were so high for the food served at the time!)

ENDTOWN has made the nominations list for the Ursa Major Award for Best Graphic Story of 2011. Congratulations to Aaron. Voting opens today at the Ursa Major website and continues until May 4.

Were I a vegan, and had to survive months on end on beans, to see such a repast would make me a “reformed vegan” and declare all on this table “salad” for the nonce, and dive in like Jacques Cousteau at the Great Barrier Reef! Now, hand me a trencher and a carving knife, and tuck in!

There are so many wonderful details on the dining table that each time someone mentioned something I missed, I had to roll the screen back up to look saying OK I didn’t see that where is it. LOL Lovely Work on this wonderful story!

Great art! Great story!

based on Linda’s expression being the same as the others, I’d say that Hank Stillwater’s assumption that the TSs dine on steak and caviar for breakfast, was only that. In fact, it seems to me that the TS are in the same boat as the mutants, as far as food goes. Also, I can’t help but notice Flasks vulture like behavior over the past few days (minutes?)

more food than they have had in months, looks like.

IF dittos can shape shift, who is to say they are not presenting themselves as “food”. Where does he get it. Can he have a hidden grocery store somewhere? Complete with all the goodies thus presented? Who cooked them, or does he do as others and take the precooked from the heat lamp of the store? ( like I do, hush.) Blessed Be.

He’s a magic man, I tell ya,…and his “spells” are the dittos!

I bet it’s amazing what the dittos can create and become… After all,…they are, supposedly, organic….

That being said,…..ew….

Oh. Oh my god. Yes, definitely in love with this guy.
