Pity the man who’s armed with a crate of beans during the gun-heavy apocalypse prepping. Sure, he’ll eat, but he doesn’t want to. There’s no way to hide that sort of rat-a-tat-tat.
I don’t miss Flask, she was too destructive to her own side. I just miss her let’s get things done attitude, and her “unclearly meant to be cheesecake of some sort” looks.
“A penny from a hundred people is a dollar, but it still won’t get you cab fair.” The whole “life draining” thing needed a better explanation. Alien tech is not the same as alien-to-you tech made by humans. The Ship seemed to want to keep the Program running until the human component wore out, not life-draining by vampiring the people it had hooked up. Sometimes Endtown has a lot of travel to the end of an arc, but the reasons for what happened aren’t there.
That’s a thing that always gets overlooked for a story. How long does it take? Flash Gordon doesn’t wait for the bus. If you were being strict about it, many stories would have had only one or two adventures per characters before retiring them from old age. Wally, and his “accidental time travel” he hopes. Endtown might not last 10 years, or it might have started growing enough food by then. And a new generation of ET’ers that would be causing more trouble out in the wastelands. But a good question is- How old is Holly?
Cat, dog, panda, bear, all look the same when drawn as a late-30’s housewife.Also, wasn’t there a line from the Topsiders about all the Eden-towners being reoccurring/important cardoodles? They’re all supposed to have a useful amount of Star Power. The tv star kind, not the hero with a unshielded stellar energy source kind.
Merry Christmas! And beans to all.
