Endtown by Aaron Neathery for December 21, 2015

So by sending in Irwin, they are hoping to be able to exit through the “enter only” door.

Irving doesn’t look so happy about all this. Good thing no one is asking him for permission first.

Irving on a string…most kids would’ve been happy with a yo-yo…

Poor Irwing. I’d have used a stick!

Someone is thinking. Good job Chic !

Wondered why the engineer didn’t go in on a tether… ;-)

Irving, the amazing disappearing, reappearing bug!

I Saw Wally Kissing Lizard-Draws by JennerBased on I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus by Tommie ConnorI saw Wally kissing Lizard-DrawsUnderneath the starry sky last nightHe didn’t seem me peep‘Cause he thought I was asleep,Wile all the time my eyes were onA certain scaly creep.Then I saw Wally dig his sandy clawsIn the ground, his knuckles turning white.And as I tried to stay alive,I lay and cuddled Clive,While Wally dreamed of Lizard-Draws last night.

We chased our pleasures here,Dug our treasures there.Can you still recallThe time we cried?Break on through to the other side…

The future of Fly Fishing.

Love the last panel: Chic and Irving on the inside looking out. Wonder whether Kirby can see—or hear—them…

Oh, wait. I see… Chic pulled Irving back out. It’s just near-field focus. Cute.

Good thinking on Chic’s part, verifying Wally’s logical assumptions. Hopefully we’ll find out what’s going on soon.

But what did Irving see on the other side? The part they seem to forget is that Irving is a mutated human like themselves. Will we ever get to see his human side?

Through the looking glass then?

The issue is this.Did Wally go to the same place as Holly?Does the door reset to take one to the same place as the first one?All Irving proved is the door goes both ways but does it?Once through can you find your way back?A very neat way of a solution but did they allow it just to bring them in and once in do they cut the string?

I think Chic did this behind Kirbee’s back, literally.He looks a little embarrassed.Truth is Irving looks discombobulated. He may not have liked what he saw.Can Chic and Irving communicate well enough for Irving to express his feelings and impressions?

I thought he liked the bug. What if that was a disintegration field at the doorway ?

Ah, the direct approach.

Kid is smarter than all the adults.

We’ll need a rope.

I also wonder how Chic tied that string to Irving. He doesn’t seem to have any good points to do that.

I remember my mother talking about using a nickle on a string at gas station slot machines during the depression. She would hit a jackpot, and the fuel for the car was paid in nickles. Her parents and her were often on the road – hard times.

In the meantime, the smell of bacon within arm’s reach must be maddening.

Well we now know they didn’t walk into a disintegration field or rotating knives.

Anyone get their books…..mine just came in today.Covers the Linda, the Milk Trial to Unity.And I am in the Special Thanks section…..that’s nice and unexpected. 280 pages to view.Eye candy it is.

There is another time a door is used like this. Gives the same shapes and all.Page 101 in Vol 3 when Marx appears behind Jacob.But when he leaves Jacob he does it differently he just vanishes.

Now Kirbee walks up and the portal disappears. Have a nice meal, y’all.

By the way, if you guys go in, see if you can find what made the bacon smell from a couple strips ago.

Well, it looks like they’re going in..Until this development, I was wondering whether Aaron was about to write Kirbee and Chic out of the storyline..You know, we continue on the other side with Wally and Holly, while Kirbee and Chic were safe (we presume) on the ship..Get back to Kirbee or not, who knows? Would we remember Kirbee when we got back to them? (It took over two years to tell the story of two weeks in lizard land).But if Kirbee and Chick go in after Wally and Holly, then all bets are off..One thing for sure: It will be a long time before we see Endtown again..Years, probably.

Too bad Chic’s not a ‘bug whisperer.’ Having been there, Irving could describe it!

I got mine on Monday, Dec. 21 morning in Germantown, MD. I am going to go hide in my room (when I can) and binge read the whole thing! Big DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door.

You guys, too? I wasn’t expecting it, but it turned up in my P. O. Box this morning. Well, in the locker in the building with my P. O. Box in it, but the key to it was in my P. O. Box this morning. Merry Christmas to all.

Chik and Irving just confirmed that it’s a portal and not instant death, because if it had been death, then the string leash would have fallen to the floor.

So the book is an actual hold in your hands book. Once I know I’ve made it past the holidays without going under, I will be buying it too.Also I want/wanted to get the on-line versions for my grandkids, but not sure about how to get it to their ? E-Mail, or how or where. I guess I better try to figure out how.
