Endtown by Aaron Neathery for July 28, 2017

Back to the Great Endtown Debate!

Huh… Not a fox after all then. Suddenly I’m a little less confident about Heather’s chances.

A holdover from Allgood’s movement, or maybe a different approach?

That’s been my view of them all along. They’re all human beings—-horribly mutilated by the mutation—-but still human beings.

A wolf in lawyer’s clothing. Better check what law school he graduated from. Ask to look at his sheepskin.

I’m liking him more and more.

I have to admit that I would like this trial to go a little better for Ms. Hoss than the Milk Trial did for our 3 gals.

The policy of Jacob’s embrace your animal side will be in trial. Just one question……..who controls the Rats?

Hmmm… what is human? i’m reminded of Osamu Tezuka’s “Ode to Kirihito.”

On the one hand, I don’t personally see why species has to matter since (human or animal regardless) they’re all thinking people capable of reason, rationale and free thought. On the other hand, the people in Endtown specifically have demonstrated a consistent tendency to let their fears and prejudices get the better of them more often than not. As much as I enjoy this comic, it’s storylines like this that sometimes make me wonder just how much of this comic is an Author Tract.

Heather is right: people can be monsters. It’s not even a question that out of the people who become monsters, some “species” will be more common than others. But that on it’s own is not the same thing as “some species are more likely to become monsters than others” (correlation =/= causation and all that). The real question this whole situation revolves around is who did the crime, how and why. Even if Heather did kill Lou, there may be evidence to suggest it was either self-defense or a fit of mentally unstable hysteria brought about by her state of panic from the riot.

Fairweather’s counterpointing Jackrabbit’s philosophy indicates he was hired by Cooper’s group, and Heather’s trial is going to be proxy war between Cooper and Jackrabbit. It’s the Milk Trial again, with Heather as the McGuffin this time.

Stay tuned to see what kind of tricks this old dog can do…

This might be very good for her. It will show that at least one wolf is willing to believe that she is not guilty.

Is he taking this case pro bono? Or is he a loan wolf?

His point is that she is considered a monster in Endtown now. It’s all a matter of your point of view. But will he be considered a sell-out by his fellow “wolves”?
