   I think that link went to the “Endtown Underground” which was a discussion group, and was not managed by Mr. Neathery. I’m not sure, since I only stopped by once or twice. There might be others on here who can verify (or not). I’m sure that there are more stories to come after this arc has ended.

   There were 41 people (06/02/2024). 36 of them were moved there by the Marx family. 5 of them—Wally, Duffy, Terrance, Cole and Phoebe—were not. Terrance, Cole and Phoebe are on a boat. Wally and Duffy stayed behind, along with some of those “preserved” by the Marx family, to distract pursuit. I hope this means these boats get away safely. I really hope we do not see Duffy appear in front of Marx at the Crossroads—even if there’s a chance he’d be reunited with his brother Bennie. I don’t want to see Wally turn up there, either. Maybe if we move off into another adventure, Wally and Duffy will make it through somehow, make it to a boat, and catch up to Kirbee. But, it doesn’t look good.

   This model cannot fly. This is the version that has appeared most often. However, according to Jim (or Sarah-it’s hard to tell when they’re in the biosuits), some of the mutts have had weapons added and been turned into flying drones. Or, as they said of the drones, “They’re just MUTTS.. Huge, flying, armed to the teeth MUTTS…” (02/13/2014)

   Sure! I probably should have done that at first. Capt. Philomena Flask first appears in the strip of 09/16/2010. The first “hint” that I notice is on 9/29/2010 , where Prof. Mallard indicates the Endtown High Council tells Flask “about as badly as they’ll view YOU once I tell them the truth about you” The strip never really is about Flask, but the events along the way demonstrate results from her backstory. For instance; when she discovers Al and Gustine’s pal P.T. (Petey) and her reaction to the control unit. Not giving a date for that. It’s a good story, and I encourage folks to read it.

   Since I mentioned Flask: It is worth the time to go back to read the early strips and follow her life. All along, there were subtle hints dropped about where she’d come from, and what motivated her, until the time she told her own story. Interesting character.

   For those that are asking; that’s a “zero scalpel”. They’ve made appearances throughout the strip. Flask caused a lot of damage with one a while ago. It’s what Terrance was going to use to cut Alan’s hand off (the one that was stuck in the wall). strip on: 08/31/2023

   Who’s on first. Why is left.

   Marx has let Duffy die “8 million times” during his dive off the cliff; but decided to step in and offer Duffy another choice this time. (1/21/2023)

   I thought so, but going back to when the MUTTs started landing, the only sign of bullet flight I see are the cool “spark” traces from bullet impacts.

    Are those different ray beams shown in panel 4? The previous strips are not showing any indications of the passage of bullets. The Zero gun has a broad beam, and is in Duffy’s hands. Those appear to be Duffy’s legs as he is running forward (and away from our viewpoint). So he’d be firing away from us (as he is in panel 3). So…is someone or something else firing a different weapon?
