Endtown by Aaron Neathery for May 15, 2012

Attaboy Petey! Go get ’em!

“Please stay by while we adjust your signal. You should regain picture in a few minutes.”

“Save the dude and the dame!” Petey’s back in the game And was not killed or out of commission Now recovered from “whack!” He has has somewhat more slack “Catch the pair” is the new simple mission But now look out below In the spot where they’d go There’s a dot, somewhat oblong, awaiting We know well such details Are important at scales Sometimes days or weeks anticipating" =|====/ Level Head Vote for Endtown 2.0 And for Doc Rat, too The Endtown Forum

For Those Who May Be Interested In Such Things (FTWMBIIST), the new limited edition Endtown shirt design is available. Hint: drunken Holly..

ALSO: I’m down to the bottom of the box of the $2.50 mini-comics I had printed for Comicpalooza, and once they’re gone, they’re gone, so be sure to order yours if you haven’t already done so.

AND FINALLY: I’m still offering original artwork for sale.. Contact me at aaronneathery@gmail.com for details.

Man, er, cat and mouse overboard! AM is being a pretty poor captain if he let’s his guests fall overboard like that.

Given the speed of rebooting, Petey is obviously not running Windows!

I wanna toss out a quick shout for Level_Head! Not only does he consistently add to the enjoyment of visiting the EndTown page with his lyrical reviews, but by including the links to the voting site, he has made it a simple click for me to vote every day. Thanks, dude! :3

To be entirely clear with everything it feels great waiting a few days and then read, sure it is going slow but now I can enjoy it going slow.

You’re not alone. Some of us just have a different tune playing in our heads.

My reference to “having a different tune playing in our heads” was not in reference to Level_head; but to those of us like myself and wecatsgocomics. I, myself, find that I don’t always agree with the masses or with everyone in the groups I am a part of and I have no problem with that. I just wanted to let wecatsgocomics know that they were not alone in their preference.

The beautiful thing about this Comments section is that nothing is compulsory. Pick and choose, gloss over, or just post and go. Everyone’s a winner.

Personally, I admire Level_Head’s works very much. I may skip it sometimes, simply through burn-out [there are a LOT of posts, here!], but I ALWAYS admire the level of skill it takes to continuously come up with his poetry.I tried it myself [back on March 14] and am rather proud of my effort, but it did take me a fairly long time and I would not want to make a habit of it [pretty exhausting!]

I enjoy Level_Head’s posts quite a bit. He has a clever knack for going to the heart of the comic in a poetic style. I did not enjoy poetry in school, but now that I do not have to break it down, and analyze the poems, I have to give him a lot of credit for his creativity.Frequently his poems are set to an existing musical piece, and that may even bring back pleasant memories. Recently he posted a work set to the tune of Amen by Leonard Cohen, that caused me several hours of pleasures digging the old archives to listen to long neglected works of sheer brilliance by Cohen.Feel free to skip any comment. Many of us enjoy Level_Head’s works AND the signature line that makes it so easy to vote for Endtown 2.0 and Doc Rat. After voting for Endtown2.0 just hit Aaron’s snazzy banner and be brought back here to get the link to vote for Doc Rat, after which you can click Endtown to access the banner again to return here, or hit Jenner’s Doc Rat to go to that cartoon that updates after 8AM Central Daylight Time USA, Sunday through Thursday.I do hope you will vote at Topwebcomics despite your current dislike of certain werken. It raises the visibility of the strips, and theoretically Aaron Neathery and Jenner could use consistent high ratings as a marketing tool to eke out better rewards as recognition of their talents.

What is the significance of Petey’s Number 3? Is it a tribute to some athlete or does it simply mean he is special teams, like a kicker?

I just wonder what Flask is doing right now.

This puts me in mind of This part of my childhood:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5YSgPZ-OK4

It would not be the wheel Where propulsion is counted Instead, here’s the deal It’s the shaft where it’s mounted Though shown as a pole In most of the strips Has an airfoil role And so off he zips =|====/ Level Head Vote for Endtown 2.0 And for Doc Rat, too The Endtown Forum

Wow … I wish my box would reboot that fast and fly like that after a slap to the CPU :P

You should know by now: It’s science!

Comic-propulsion

I would be perfectly OK with getting W&H safe to the ground and just going on from here, allowing Flask and AM to ply the friendly skies, but Linda’s still up there and that boat ain’t near big enough for she and Flask to share, so something’s still to be done “upstairs”. I have given up trying to anticipate Aaron’s next moves though and am content to simply sit back & “enjoy the ride”. It sure is a doozy! Bring on Wednesday ;-)

I’m not into levelhead’s poetry, but I appreciate the creativity and effort he puts into doing it five days a week and I DEFINITELY appreciate the voting links. Keep it all up, sir.

I’m not sure whether Wally and Holly would be any safer dealing with Topsiders than Flask (or even AM, who seems benign enough but, well, does “mercurial” work?). We’ll see soon enough.

I’ve only gotten back into reading daily strips via gocomics, but this one became a favorite very quickly after discovering it. A larger audience (and more revenue) would be a deserved reward for AN…a very clever guy.

The dot looks like it might be a vehicle.

AM just made a mistake right? He didn’t look like he told them it was the right door to be mean or do a trick ?Petey is a tough determined little guy!

whatever floats your boat, BUT was there a reason you had to share that??

so in panel 4, the clouds stop at the diagonal line (what is that line) and then there is that small ‘spot’ —what is that I don’t think it is their shadow…………..

I think the dot is Aaron Marx in some kind of craft coming to rescue Holly and Wally. I Hope, I Hope, I Hope………… I still have faith in Aaron Marx.

I don’t think it’s the shadow of W&H. I believe it may be a vehicle….a PT down on the surface? I hope Petey can catch them and spirit them away. If it’s a PT, it looks too much like a potential Friday cliffhanger to me. Go, Petey, go!

so Aaron ‘uncloaked’ the ship?i thought petey wouldnt be able to return to the ship after rescuing them because he wont be able to see it

The way it’s drawn, looks like a black squarish object follwed by a gray plume behind (upper, left of the black blob). PT with a dust plume? Heading in the direction of a possible W&H impact—toward lower left side of the panel.

I have to say, that black dot looks like it’s casting its own shadow. so, it could be something (or it could be the 3-d shadow of a 4d ship, but I don’t know…)

The dot - maybe a PT or maybe W&H’s mutant friend with the Teddy Bear… hopefully we will know by Fri.

“If you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.” An old adage.
