Someone here a little earlier in the story sequence suggested that the shadowy figures (now revealed, at least from a distance), might very well be the “children” that this topsider group was developing as possible “human” inheritors of the earth, since the topsiders no longer seemed to be reproducing normally. When Wally and company were given a view of what the topsiders had created, they were horrified at the distorted “human” creations they were shown. What strikes me as interesting, is that, unlike the nightmare transfigurations that normal people turn into when the transformation occurs when they are conscious, these individuals are moving together as cohesive groups, rather than as random, slavering beasts. Could it be possible that they (although frightening to behold), might actually be rather similar to Sid’s creations (from Toy Story), where their disturbing external appearance belies their kind and helpful nature? And might these children be coming to the rescue of Wally and company?
Here’s hoping that Aaron can give us a closer view of the nature of these newcomers.
Happy to have you back Aaron! We all love your stories, and we know they take time to create in the way that only you can. BUT, PLEASE remember to take time to take care of yourself as well!
I just tried copying the “hordes” and blowing each pic up to try and see what we’re dealing with. Well disguised but could the things in the third panel be evolved tools? Almost lookslike an eggbeater on the left!
A whole lot of “uh-oh” going on in this predicament. Hope our guys get out of this alive, but they won’t be exactly ‘unscathed’, for I predict a whole lot of therapy in their futures. I’m glad to see Aaron return to his comic strip, and as a longtime Endtown reader, I’ve come to expect his absences due to health issues. Besides, I never rush an artist nor a good story arc. Stay healthy, Aaron!

Welcome back, Mr Neathery!
Notice that all the video screens are now black. That would seem to be significant.
And we are not hearing the voice of the Eye. Not sure if that is significant, or just Aaron leaving out a distraction.
As pointed out by others, these do not seem hostile, but then neither did the toothbrushes, at first.
So, Wally … Wally! Wally, snap out of it! We need a flying machine, NOW! Or at least a ditto shield…
