Endtown by Aaron Neathery for September 11, 2012

Petey2b, where’d you go? ;3;

Take a look at todays BEARDO. Do we really want this to be AN’s future. Get on it fellow lovers of EndTown. I cheer us on!!!!!! The gun is gone. Mutants cannot use it? He must have been captured and the TS took the gun. Getting to be a really good story. Blessed Be

Woops forgot the “with” within that sentence. Blessed Be

“Can’t go forward, can’t go back.”How about clicking your heels and repeating “there’s no place like home?”…

I thought they had more time together! She must have felt very alone and deserted! Abandoned and I CAN feel her pain

Okay, gang.. I came back from the Baltimore con with many new color drawings that I’ll be auctioning off two at a time for the next several weeks over at The Endtown Auction Block. This week’s offerings are a Kokopelli-themed Marx drawing and a new Holly & Wally image that many of you may identify with.. As always, please keep in mind that all proceeds from these auctions help me to continue bringing you Endtown five days a week, every week. I’ll be elaborating within the next few days.. Take care, all..

Alone, at the top of the highest point around, calling out… Sounds like a dinner bell to me.

Hey, TSOJ, she’s climbing those bumps you were noticing yesterday1Attention to detail, indeed! And so adept at depicting the wasteland.

Finally seeing things with her own eyes. Looking for lost love. Alone. Vulnerable. Desolation. Total apocalypse. I remember those visions of destruction as a child back in the 50’s and 60’s. Put to bed one day in 1962 and told if I met God in the morning not to be afraid. Mommy and Daddy love you. Mr. Neathery you bring back memories. And if you think you are safe know?. I know of chemical and biological weapons we have that make an atomic war all the more desirable to what they can do.

bummer…so we are led to believe that she sees him for the first time as the PT? But does she really know what he looks like? I thought those uniforms just projected images—I’m so confused…….

“On a side note, where is the moon?I do not recall seeing it in their sky before.”Mined for the metals. You can’t really see it anymore because it was turned into so much swiss cheese as to become transparent.

“Your answer, my friend, is just echoes and wind.Your answer is just echoes and wind.”.(amatuerish attempt at immitation, sincerely intended as flattery) with apologies to LH, the undisputed master!;-)

He had to have seen a patrol or something and in order to keep Blackie safe, lured them away, eventually leading to his recapture by the Topsiders.

If Petey2b did indeed lure away Topsiders or tried to fight with them, at first I wondered why he wouldn’t wake up Blackie, or carry her away or something to that effect. However, if he did see Topsiders and he had just punctured Flask’s ear piece, he probably has no way of knowing when she’s done transforming (especially since her height and stature didn’t change) and wouldn’t want to risk her waking up during the process – and become either Cooper-esque or Nightmare Fuel.

Either way, this must be terrifying to poor Flask. To not know whether he left willingly, or was captured or anything at all.

In the strips for Jan 18 – 19 2012, the Topsider obviously has known Flask as a human. Some of the comments the TSer makes about Flask not to being trusted might be due to the events Flask is reviewing here. I suspect that the TSers have known that Flask was sneaking out. PT2B has disappeared. Maybe they have him. Maybe she’ll try to infiltrate the colony to rescue him—although the missing pinky might give her away. I’d guessed before that since the biosuit eye-cameras replace biosuits with “folk skins” that she still might get away with it. The missing pinky would be hidden by the video. The “folk suit” illusion might have to be carried over into the surveillance cameras as well, so she’d pass as “folk” to them, too. Maybe I’ll just wait and see.

Here’s an example of facial “reskinning” in realtime. Folks are still playing with it, but it’s possible. I can’t find the link to the replaceable helmet. Some of the faces work better than others, and some are downright creepy— http://consumerlab.es/blog/2012/04/changing-faces-in-real-time-with-face-tracking/

“If I remember, Petey was not too pleased to become reacquainted with Flask.”If you’re referring to Petey’s attitude when he first meets Wally at the beginning of Flask’s mission, that was because she wouldn’t talk to him as equals. He disliked being treated as an uninformed subordinate.

I could be remembering it wrong, but I thought that he became displeased with Flask the more he got to know her. Considering that he only remembers her nickname and possibly her voice, he doesn’t remember what kind of person she was. All he has to go by is who she is now. She never told him how she knew him, and I think he only vaguely has any idea of what she had went through. Just as many of us were ready to write her off as an evil character up until now when we’re getting to learn her story, I think Petey grew to disdain her because he only sees her as she is after she has been twisted by her hatred and sadness. Which leads me to wonder why she never told him anything about how they knew each other. Even if she didn’t expect him to love her the way he did in these flashbacks…there has to be a reason why she made it a point not to tell him. There’s something more to this. I have a feeling we’re getting ready to find out.

@surfstuff55Some of us may be a little shy of Google+. Any way you could link those photos so we might see them? If you can, Thanks.
