Endtown by Aaron Neathery for December 03, 2012

Gasp! Watch your mouth Holly! The Duchess is reading this!

Do not argue with this mousie.

Should be fun, though.

That cat ain’t gonna get any mousie tonight, just sayin’.

She will give what ever it takes to get that @^*# welcome.Wally will not let her go into this alone. Depression can make someone who is unstable, dangerous. She fought in the bar against strangers, how will she react to the two responsible for her condition. Wish AM were here. Blessed Be

On a more serious note, why is Holly so responsible? What does she think she owes her step dad? This could work into two stories in one.

Holly has such a divine range of emotional expression.

“Little” HollyIsn’t jollyLinda’s follyPains her.Golly!But Miss HWill rant and rageAnd, small but sage,She’ll turn the pageSo Linda’s throesAnd former foesWill reach a close:This Holly knows.=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooThe Endtown ForumThe Endtown AuctionThe Endtown Books

Is it me or does anyone realize Holly never worked in a bar. Shes a waitress in a cafe. Either way, shes one tough girl. My kind of mouse,

She does looked po’d tho……

You go Holly! I’ve said it before, that diminutive frame is packed to the bursting point with all the good things that make survival worth the trouble! Just one more reason to love that 3 ft tall, bipedal talking mouse. ;-)

This is not the same Holly Hollister I remember reading about in primary school of “The Happy Hollisters” series of books.

If Doc is Holly’s step dad; I wonder what her mother and father look like.

It’ll take a while but I’m betting they’ll end up friends. Linda was the product of her environment. Once Holly understands this, and sees that Linda’s eyes have been opened, she’ll forgive her. Might take a while tho…. a VERY LONG while.

I think this all needs to be dropped on Aaron Marx’s lap. Remember he was real keen on getting Linda out. Wonder what hes thinking now if anything

Auction time! Good news, Flask Fans.. Flask.. fur-lined lingerie.. candy cane.. ’nuff said. Available in both original and signed print flavor. As always, all proceeds help keep Endtown alive. Thanks to all who participate!

The trouble sponge is always given more trouble to sponge up. “Oh, you’re the trouble sponge. I wanted someone to talk to, so of course I thought of you…”

Gangway!! Maaad Mouse!!!

In a survival colony like Endtown, people with special talents would be precious and relied upon to perform those talents always because there’s no one else. Holly’s apparently talented in helping people assimilate, and it’s her duty to do it when asked, no matter who’s asking or who’s to be assimilated.

Well, Linda didn’t ask her for any help…others asked for her, but she didn’t…

PTSD + Koala = Bad.Actually, I started thinking about how even if meds were available, how would you be sure that meds would even work on someone who’s a koala in the first place.Maybe we should just dress her up in Road Warrior bandit gear and give her a megaphone. Most adorable apocalypse ever.

@Jus Sayin: Best of luck with your treatment and here’s hoping for an exceptionally speedy recovery.

Given Linda’s mysterious dream, this is going to be a dark recovery, with some darker revelations about the nature of our topsider culture

Beware the power of miceness…

Holly is just tickled pink on helping pour Linda.

That mousie is showing a lot of tooth.. ;-)

Wow, sleep in one day, and look how far down in the comments I end up!!

The Mouse that Roared!(One of my favorite movies. Peter Sellers)

Yes mr_shermanIt took me about 20 minutes to close my mouth.That green bow just makes it in more ways than one.Congrats Mr. Neathery.I will be in touch.

Holly is one those that feels more obligated to Endtown that others. He played the Stepdad card on her. In other words you owe me one. It is a request in a nice way but apparently he (her dad) does not know the full back story with Linda and Holly. Probably security reasons on a need to know. So he thinks it like when Wally came into her life.I cant wait to see the conflict grow between Holly and Linda. There are going to be sparks.But beware Linda is going to have an agenda when she snaps out of her funk.

Here’s hoping we haven’t seen the last of Flask.

And in her suicidal state of mind, Linda will love her for it.

…and then, she’ll show her gratitute to her stepdad, even if it kills him!

I just can’t resist saying Pew Pew Pew when I vote on the Endtown First Generation page! LOL

Wow, four panels of not so cute mouse in two days. I believe that’s a record. I wonder, Holly says it’s her responsibilty. Does that mean she’s been given the responsibility or is she putting it on herself (even though it was requested by others)? What is it about being Holly Hollister that makes her responsible? Officially, her payback (her job- because of her personality) to Endtown for being accepted in. Or unofficially, because she feels she’s endebted to Doc, Maw, or someone else? Her little rant seems to have Wally confused also.

Uh, make that neutral ground.

I can so hear Melissa Rauch(Bernadette on Big Bang) as Hollys Voice during her rant.

Don’t often see Holly’s lower teeth…

but she looks uber cute in Fr2 when she’s angry…..

@Aaron NeatheryHey Aaron, anyway you can draw her in swimwear? I know it’s not the best time of year for it (at least here in North America) but can you? It’s gets lonely here in Druid Hills….real lonely!

Twisted tails lead to interesting stories.

Well, Koala Girl is either going to have her mind completely taken off of self pity and driven to dealing with reality or swiftly go jump out a window. I don’t think I’d like to be on the receiving end of the boot camp that Holly can deliver, however; I’ve watched it work.

Ever notice whenever a character in “Endtown” swears, it’s always the same? Circular scribble, star, two exclamation points, and vaguely-arrow-shaped-scribble? Even when, like above, sometimes it’s a verb and sometimes it’s a noun…

Man, Holly wasn’t this mad when she decked Flask! Check out the February 21 2012 strip if you doubt me.

Hey how about an Endtown Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue??

Its going to take Wally all hes got an then some to calm that minature volcano down if any of them are getting any sleep tonight. Shes angry enough. She doesnt need to be cranky and irritable as well. Hes already at ground zero…even if its not directed at him. Poor Wally, whipping boy.

Wow. Aaron you’ve apparently not paid attention to how you wrote the last arc. That’s not the way Holly was behaving or reacting to Linda the entire time. This really doesn’t work.

Holly feels like it a duty given to her, one that she accepted on here with the determination of " a mouse has to do what a mouse has to do"!THe rats are like that when it’s after a cage cleaning and they must re-build their rat’s nest again. I love to watch their determination and little arguments over newspaper shred placement.
