Endtown by Aaron Neathery for July 12, 2012

Oh Marx, you so magical. And good for you for stopping that missile! (assuming that he will, but he sure seems confident enough that I think he’s got this!)

He’s dressed for magic againAnd is self-amused, untroubledShe’s protective of the brainMy respect for her has doubledBut Aaron Marx is strangeAnd certainly not deadBut can’t seem to arrangeNot arriving on his head=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooThe Endtown ForumCharter member ofthe Consortium to get Aaron a Tablet

Marx’s use of “ironic” refersTo the Topsider missile backfiringBut as he suggests (Wally concurs)That result would be less than inspiringSo he’s got something else up his sleeveAnd he’s just making up a New PlanBut we thought we had reason to grieve:Didn’t we see the ship hit the fan?We saw pieces of ship blown apartAnd the airship’s balloon tearing seamsOnly then did the teleport startUnless we share some very odd dreams…=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooThe Endtown ForumCharter member ofthe Consortium to get Aaron a Tablet

AHH! Poor Linda, He about scared her out of her Koala skin I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t this.. hehehe! At least she is being very protective of the TP’s brain. That is very good. But where are the others?? I hope they all tumble out of that water-whatever next.

It looks like the missile is planning to hit the TS town after all. That would be sad, but it would also be cool if they could go inside it and raid it for food.

Aaron always has a reason and a rhyme for everything, it seems. I love the way AM appears. And the look on Linda’s face. Woe is us. Tomorrow is Thursday which means he has to come up with a great big banging suprise. I can’t wait. However, as is the lay down. I have no choice. Blessed Be.

Thanks to everyone who has bid so far! And endless thanks also to TSOJ, without whose help the Auction Block would still be weeks and weeks away.. I’ll go ahead and repost for those readers who aren’t yet in the know:Okay, folks.. Here’s my new scheme to help keep Endtown alive: The Endtown Auction Block.I’ll be auctioning off four original strips and one brand-new color drawing a week, all with very low starting bids. I haven’t seen this done before for a webstrip, and maybe there’s a reason for that.. but it seems worth a try. Please drop by and take a look.. Thanks, all! :-)

LInda really is pretty cute, with those big furry ears. She does look like a big teddy bear with a big nose!

Maybe there are two Aaron Marx’s. One without the jacket, carrying the 3D pen, and the other with the jacket and indulging in string theory antics.

It just keeps getting better! Like I said yesterday, when you’re in Endtown there’s:1. what you saw,2. what you THINK you saw, and3. what REALLY happened!And now, for the answer to just why AM has been acting so unconcerned all along…..stay tuned!

Aaron’s certainly got the well-practiced gift of depicting faces and expressions realistically.

Dr Marx.Top Marx.Linda: skid marx.

Linda’s gone bye-bye, Marx. What’ve you got left?

Some of us tend to skip class. We’re the ones who get the best Marx.

When Linda got out of bed this morning, I bet she didn’t know the day ahead of her would rate a 9.5 on her Weird S@&#-o-Meter.

So Aaron M admits that Wally is fighting for a good cause. Glad he seems to be on “our” side (at least for the moment).

Two interesting items in today’s strip. Linda’s protectiveness of the cooler with the brain and AM’s actual use of Wally’s name, he’s generally resorted to nicknames for our crew.

As one who has read the old Al & Gustine and the Aaron Marx strips by Mr. Neathery, this is pretty much par for the course when Marx is involved. And definitely, absolutely, it does not mean that the rest of the crew is safe…

Today’s strip hearkens back to a similar situation that we saw in the recent past, say Feb 6, 2012? Definitely hard to top “ditto Flask”, but this has a good fighting chance!;-)

Trickster second class my Aunt Fanny’s garters! This is first class ALL THE WAY! (Obscure M*A*S*H reference);-)

I give up. Every time I think I got it figured out…pffffft. I really like that.

Great job Aaron. Marx is as close to The Doctor as you could get in the U.S.

So are the other swirls in the air Wally, Holly and Petey?

If by “dickering” you mean am I busting open my piggy bank; yes, I am. :P heheAnyone who hasn’t checked out the auction should do so! And VOTE! I can vote again in 15 hours! :3

AM is definitely NOT like Doctor Who—AM doesn’t make sense and the Doctor always did!! (eventually!!) AM is more like a comedian with magic tricks…..

Looks like the missle is heading back towards the TS outpost. If it hits one of those domes…well, let me ask you this: Anyone remember what happen to the industrial plant after the on-screen credits that said “IN SUPERMARINATION” in every opening of the old puppet TV series Thunderbirds?

Nice cane, AM, now where’s the top-hat. This guy’s been giving us the old song and dance for months now (our time, not his). Hopefully, it’s time for him to come clean and let us know what this has been all about. . .and I wouldn’t let Wally know you set him up to prove something, he’s probably not quite up to that just yet.

So do we close out the missile thing tomorrow and go into Friday without a cliffhanger…….oh my, perish the though! :-)

It’s probably been pointed out before,but Marx reminds me a lot of Capt. Jack Harkness.

I’d say that Marx is much closer to P.T. Barnum.

This man needs to cameo in Doctor Who! Anyone else think “Time Lord” when they see him? I know he doesn’t have a TARDIS, but Aaron just screams it to me.

He is a bit Peter Pan, crowing at his marvelous skills!

Aside from the “advance orders”, has anyone been able to order a copy of the two Endtown books? I can’t find them anywhere.

It seems that AM has been “testing” Wally’s character all through this part of the story. From the gun he drew with his 3D pen—through the ditto-flashback; and this test with having to kill Flask for the ship… and Wally has revealed the strength of his character through every test. It makes sense that AM would support Wally. At this latest threat, AM has remainded imperturbable—almost to the point of seeming like a dimwit. Now it appears he can do more than we’ve seen so far. In other, older strips, he can jump dimensions(sort of).
