Endtown by Aaron Neathery for June 25, 2012

Separation! And anxiety And quite a ration Of variety For the tale Aaron’s telling Doesn’t fail To be compelling Petey flies Like a spin-toy Radar spies: He’s a decoy! Accidental; Still effective (Is Flask mental And defective?) Missiles wait: What defenses? She’s too late To her senses =|====/ Level Head Vote for Endtown 2.0 And for Doc Rat, too The Endtown Forum Charter member of the Consortium to get Aaron a Tablet

aren’t the wars over. Why would they assume that this was dangerous. The glitch isn’t headed at them. I would think that there would be a lot of wonder and curiosity about what it is and why. And how can it be profitable to them. I like the little cooler for his girl friend. Good find in the bins.Blessed Be.

Flask takes a deep breath. The pain only has to last another minute longer… Rolling on the ground with Wally, she won’t even see it coming.

She’s referring to the “anomaly” as “not being a glitch”, so the order is to fire on the ship. Maybe Petey is going to see his friends get killed by Topsiders a second time in a week.

The reference to ‘this morning’.. Hasn’t a night passed?

The boat is headed for them, the “object” is headed away. Therefore the boat is the threat.

Not Pine Valley! Oh double snap!! I was feeling pretty sure Aaron wasn’t going to fry Linda’s son, but since he’s not down there…. Oh dear :-( ……

Hmm, I wonder if the cloaking dittos have a believable explosion in their repertoire?

That really is how they carry organs for transplant.

Please don’t destroy the boat. I like the boat. Think of the potential tourist income. Sky Cruise! The deck could be lined with mutants in polyester pants, drinking frooty beverages, slathering on sunscreen… those without adequate fur, that is…

Well, according to my e-mail, I should be getting my books today. Anybody else get their’s yet?

“Cedar Springs?” Interesting name for a post-apocalyptic neo-Nazi refuge. . .

Odd, upon closer inspection the blip on the left side of panel 3 looks almost airplane shaped. Radar doesn’t usually give anything but a roundish blob (did that job for the USAF for 5 years). Hmmm.

Pine Valley, Cedar Springs…. Man, those TSers have got a serious case of the denials. Have they looked outside lately?

Or maybe, “Nothing’s Left Town”

Guess this means Linda doesn’t get Flask. Petey’s busy. Holly’s asleep. It’s down to Wally or AM.

Please forgive me. It may be just the heat (I live in NC) but if I were to come upon those guys I don’t know whether I would run screaming in terror or fall down laughing.

“Taking it down” could prove difficult if those are radar guided missiles.

Only 6 comic strip days to the 4th. . .cjould be, could be! BOOM! WHEEEEEEEEEE! BOOM! BOOM, BOOM!

For those of you who have Endtown merchandise you really want to promote to the rest of the world… They Might Be Giants are crowd sourcing a new video for an extended version of their Alphabet of Nations song. (Countries specifically mentioned in the song include Japan and Australia). They’re looking for photos that feature the culture, flag and people of those named countries. However… if you still want to participate, they want photos with the name of your country specifically displayed in front of you, and you have to have a big smile. Now, this brings to mind two possibilities. One, we promote Endtown under “E”, by either wearing the t-shirts, displaying the art, or showing off the book (plus with the word “Endtown” in front) as an unsung country. Two, one of the mentioned countries, which takes up both “W” and “X”, is “West Xylophone”. You can visit their tourism board page. Since I can’t find an official flag, you may be free to make up one of your own, but it would be better to have a unified “Endtown-ish” flag from Aaron. The requirements here are 3 photos – one of you, your friend, or your family, smiling. One with you and the flag. One with you displaying West Xylophone culture (clothing, food, or craft). And a bonus action photo of you, friend or family doing an action-y thing. It would probably blow John and John’s minds to get many submissions from this “Endtown” place via West-X. Deadline is July 10.

the one giving the orders looks female….Flask’s evil twin?

“I hope I’m not giving a spoiler here, but the Topsiders’ outpost that Blackie’s sending herself (along with everyone else on board the ship) on a kamikaze mission could be the location where Linda’s (the koala) son may be!”

I gave that comment on June 4th (my return to this post) and boy, did I call that one! My next prediction could be that it may be Linda who might stop Blackie from this madness in order to save her son!

Finally caught up on the strip and comments! You people talk too much.I enjoyed the Seriously Funny panel, though I wish it could have been scheduled at a different time. I guess it was unavoidable because of the Dealer’s Room hours. Nice to have met Surf Stuff, Level-Head, and the others.Yes, I did extract some spoilers from Aaron, confirmations on some of my guesses, and disappointments on others. I won’t say which because that would telling… And don’t worry, Aaron, I won’t say anything about the submarine— D’oh!Here’s a piece of original art I bought from Aaron at his table. It didn’t have a title on it, but I’m calling it “Heartstrings”.

that is too cute! Wally a guitar guy! And Holly being cute! you bought a great one.I hate to hear that there are disappointments coming up!
