Apparently Mallard’s definition of donk is somewhat different than mine. I couldn’t imagine anybody jumping “up” what I consider a donk. Hmmm…maybe better google the term when I get home.
Now lets see how much influence Prof Mallard still has. His donk will be loose enough. Nothing like a tight donk to hold one back. This will tell us how much Allgood has changed things. Prof Mallard has not had his hinny in the works since Flask. Prof Mallard may be in for a big shock. The donk inspection will feel like a small thing after this.
This is exactly the sort of thing that made me assume that Maud, Linda and Holly’s troubles were just the rats being out of control. The professor is to “busy” with his work to be bothered with running security.
I apologize for my venting, but I am really liking both this strip and arc. For about the last twenty strips that I began to like and had some suspense, some “person(s)” thought themselves super smart to issue a spoiler. Some of the “reruns” haven’t been seen by some of us. Again my apologies to those who respect others.
Guinea Pigs are sooo cute. When our boys were growing up we had a small herd of them. When we would let the piggies out of their hutches to enjoy a run. They would form a train by following each other around nose to tail. I called them the Guinea Pig Express. They also would make a sound like…Weee, weee, Grunt, grunt as they moved around. They were lovey little pets. :O)
I lost a day. Thought this was Sat. OK> Comments would naturally be affected by previous comments. Ha Ha. I really enjoy all the different opinions that trickle down to the very last cruiser. Including the snapy ones, and occasional snirks and snorts. Keep it up.Blessed Be
“I’m sorry if this causes you to be spoiled.”Haw! Well, if unintentionally, put.Not trying to make fum of you, The Life I Draw Upon. There are no reruns and no spoilers, just wild speculation. Enjoy the ride!
My guess as to the word “Donk”: An ass is a donkey. Donk is short for donky. I literally LOL’d when I saw that speculum. Aaron is the best at comedy that makes one think…
I still don’t recognise that equipment, and I thought I knew them all. In real life, it most approximates an adjustable retractor for abdominal surgery. At the pen of a skilled and fever-browed cartoonist, it becomes an object of hilarious torture. Actually, it could be something from veterinary practice.In any case, there’s going to be a moment for introspection.
Cal labor, swam nine hours per day and on other occasions worked six weeks straight building econometric forecasting models, and have never been tired like this. Usually I get a boost around April, but the competition for position #20 now requires more than 100 votes a day, and it is the third week of the month, so the bar is raised higher, and will increase in the closing days of the month.Sincerely & Respectfully (albeit lazily) JusSayin
A good laugh at the end of the week…making us forget that Linda, Maude, and Holly are locked up for things that aren’t crimes, that the Security Rats run rampant through Endtown with their guns, that a Puritan panda intends to make an example of them in a show trial, and that Wally got the familiar-word-beginning-with-S beat out of him when he tried to confront the Security Rats about Holly. (Long sentence, huh?)
Hey Everybody!Frank MIGHT be a guinea pig after all! I looked at panel 2 and noticed what everyone thought was his tail IS actually the telephone cord. Hey fellow old folks, remember those? Endtown doesn’t have cell phones.
I think I know what it is that Doc is holding. It’s not drawn quite right, but it’s a dental tool for holding the mouth open during long procedures. Newer versions are plastic to allow more light and eliminate glare. The handle would actually be off to one side out of the way of the Dentist’s work area.Drawn as it is though does allow for much speculation.
Actually, given the history of the Endtown colony, and the age of many of the appliances used here, there’s a chance that Doc is using equipment that dates all the way back to the 1800’s. Don’t think “modern tech” – think “what could they have dug up long ago and stuck in a storage locker”.

I’d say a duckbill speculum is called for, under the circumstances.

Big tail on floor in panel 2. Guinea pigs have very small tails.

I’m guessing the doc has been so busy working on making the town self reliant that he hasn’t had a chance to kick the rats in the head for a while…

It’s obviously a donk jumper. After he uses it, you know your donk’s been jumped.Either that, or it’s a bean twaddler.
