>Doc is not a bear after all
Then what the hell is he?
First chronological mention of in-universe cartooniness?
Doc gives the gift of brief stability to Holly and the first thing she does in return is try and reassure him that he's not some horrible abomination. D'awww.
Huh, even the comic doesn't know what doc is. According to the GoComics comments (obligatory euuurgh), "Badger" sounds like a best guess from the guy who wrote the character page on the wiki. Anyone got email commentary from Aaron?
Next page is going to be about getting to somewhere safer...
>>83607437
I think Aaron said he was a badger.
>>83607437
A cartoon
>>83607437
I always thought he was a gopher.
>>83607456
>Next page is going to be about getting to somewhere safer...
The sewers
>>83607529
He's a doctor, so of course he's a golfer!
>>83607288
Seems that everyone in the city is having fun tonight
>>83607561
>that pic
I'll laugh if they go down there and meet other mutants who had the same idea... and one or more are turtles.
>>83607698
>Holly and Doc meet the ninja turtles in the sewers
>"Pff, we were mutants before it was cool"
>>83607437
His stumpnose and round ears remind me of the Capybara
Friendly reminder, Trash thread is up with some new content.
>>>/trash/3308546
>>83607806
The capybara in general, or THE Capybara?
>>83607561
If Aaron decided to suddenly write ninja turtles into the comic I wouldn't be the least bit upset.
And I don't mean a nod or a reference, but just straight up Donatello & Raphael. Hell, throw Usagi in there for good measure.
>>83607472
well, it's not very obvious
I think Aaron just drew a fuzzy thing and left it at that.
Maybe it reflects Doc's personality, he just does not give a shit anymore, so he is a "whatever"
>>83608133
>Overhanging featureless nose
>A "whatever"
Great Scott!
>>83608106
>Hell, throw Usagi in there for a good measure
Or maybe make Jacob use a katana
>>83608133
Maybe he's a mix of the different types of badgers?
>>83608366
he'd have a bit of white fur to show for it then? Every badger species has some lighter fur on its face.
>>83608392
It could be because that's how badgers look in cartoons
>>83608521
every badger I've ever seen in any cartoon is either blatantly black with white fur or otherwise distinct. Aaron probably didn't have anything in particular in mind. Maybe Doc is the embodiment of "grump".
>>83608608
What If he's not a badger, but instead a hybrid? Now this couldn't have sense since he was asleep when mutating, but as we see the virus works in some misterious ways.
Holly really just needs to go back to Endtown and stay there. She's incompatible with both this adventure and Wally.
Wally needs to be on the move, he cant be sedentary; and Holly needs stability and support. Neither one of them have a life style that the other can live with. I don't see how anyone can ship them together for any reason other than because they just happened to stumble across each other first. It's a completely unrealistic relationship. At least Kirbee got picked up (versus just having been a one off character) so he isn't doomed to be a forever alone.
>>83609674
Kirbro please
>>83608106
>>83608366
>Retro wank.
>Now here are some Japanese influenced characters.
I feel like he's get it wrong.
>>83607288
Is Holly missing her pupils in the third panel?
>>83610016
she is wincing in fear
>>83610016
her eyes are obviously closed.
>>83610016
GoComics comment?
>>83607437
>>83607472
I always thought he was an Anteater.
>>83608299
close but not quite
>>83610016
She is trying to humor Doc with a imitation of him.
>>83610417
But the dude in the clocktower is an anteater, isn't he? And he looks totally different.
>>83610419
But the good Doctor does not possess a belubious...
>>83610746
I think he's like one of those mix n' match mutants because he was semi conscious as the mutations began, but it all leaned towards "brown, fuzzy thing" because he was out as they continued.
I dunno, maybe it'll be addressed in the future
>>83610746
You mean Angus? Because he is, I said that Doc is just a badger or not but neither Doc or anyone else cares, is not like is the mayor of his problems as mutant.
>>83608133
Eurasian is clearly the qtest of those badgers
>>83610800
This is true, for be unconscious Doc really wake up fast when they were in the cafe. So is possible that he wasn't asleeped at all.
>>83610800
Could also have been a side effect of an overdose of neurochemicals from the pain of the gunshot wound.
I was wondering a while back if Flask's unusual stature and humanoid figure was a side-effect of her infatuation and the resulting oxytocin that must have been flooding her system.
Doc's last thoughts as a human were along the lines of "well, fuck it."
>>83607698
>Uh, hey dude
>Want some pizza?
>>83607561
SEWER SURFIN'
>>83611177
Maybe it's your last conscious thoughts before you mutate that affect your eventual shape?
Holly -> "I wish I could just run away from all this." -> Mouse
Doc -> "Fuck it." -> Honey badger?
Wally -> "I want to walk away from this and never come back" -> Cat
Kirbee -> "I'ma just lie here and enjoy this show" -> Lizard
Ethel -> "How can I slither my way up our housewifey social hierarchy...?"
Which would mean that the abominations are the product of a continual feedback loop between the mutation process drawing direction from the last thought in the mind's "buffer" and the mind panicking and adding yet another last thought onto there. Eventually the feedback degrades both processes (the mind deteriorates as the body warps, and the mutation warps even worse as the mind deteriorates).
Drug users probably undergo a more measured version of what happens to abominations - less panicky, more calm and introspective, but still really "out there".
>>83611572
What about the typhoids? What's your theory on that?
>>83611624
Al : uhg... crap, late for work again... gustine? why is there a rhino on our bed?
>>83611624
Hmmm... possibly they have a very strong sense of identity that gets impressed upon every thought they have? They could be continually mutating into themselves... this could be proven if we see a Typhoid Mary show the rapid mutant healing factor.
Maybe they have a very short-lived or no buffer, so the mutation agent never has anything to grasp onto? They could be people who live entirely "within the moment". Does Al seem the type? Stillwater did... very impulsive.
Could even be multiple reasons. Anything that would prevent the mutation process from "hooking in".
>>83611572
How does exactly thinking "Fuck it" before mutating transforms you into a badger? Also, what if some abilities you have as a human affect your mutation too? For example Holly: for being a woman with some months of pregnancy she ran very fast to put herself save of the explotion in the Ethel's house.
>>83611920
>"Fuck it" before mutating transforms you into a badger
Honey badger don't care. Honey badger don't give a shit.

>>83611572
If that's true, then what the fuck was Linda thinking when she mutated?
>>83612588
Remember that koalas are actually raging animals, given that Flask kill her partner she must have felt really furious before mutating.
>>83612588
>Linda had a stuffed koala as a child
>she would hug it whenever she felt scared
>whenever she felt scared, she would remember the koala
>>83612588
something ass related maybe, that ass is ncredibly thicc
>>83612588
Existential terror. Her inner monkey was probably kicking in and wanting to climb a tree and be safe... only the virus got it a little bit wrong, species wise.
>>83612864
Would explain the tail, sort of. You may be onto something there anon.
>>83613685
I don't know, I feel that we are giving too much credit to the comic.
>>83612730
i want to use linda's butt as a pillow.
>>83613752
Well it'll all be explained. We have what, 9 years to go?
>>83614201
>You will never have a Linda daki
>You will never have a Holly daki

Life is suffering
>>83614467
Well, i can like with that.
>no kirbee daki
kill me now...
>>83614533
>live*
i would go to sleep, but ill stay for the off chance i trigger art.
>>83614454
Yeah, but I doubt that every single detail will be explained in the final,and if it does well then I'm goin to stand and clap to this level of attention to the details.
>>83614467
>>83614533
A-at least we have the t-shirts and mugs, right?
>>83614533
No, you don't understand
a Holly/Linda/Wally daki can have its cover removed to make it look like a normal pillow
A human sized one would be too obvious
>>83614650
>A human sized one would be too obvious
so?
>>83607437
I think he's a wombat, which means he poops cubes.
>>83614650
What, you have fear of showing your power level?
>>83614695
>>83614706
>>83614703
As an Australian, a wombat would fit Doc so damn well... grumpy, gruff, nearly indestructible and capable of breaking legs when it feels like it.
BEND OVER, EINSTEIN!
>>83614703
>>83615525
Also, the head shape and the ears fit his appearance as an anthro rather well...
>>83615525
>>83615590
Well seems that we found out what animal Doctor is. Also I love that fight between Mallard and Doc, with all the seriousness of the milk trial Aaron knowed how to put a comedic moment in it.
>>83615954
But Aaron himself said doc was a Badger...
>>83615954
He does light touches of character comedy inside moments of darkness quite well. That recent vignette in the kitchen comes to mind.
I still want at least a small fancomic featuring the Badass Chefs. There were a few seconds there in between the garbage chute and the main explosion where they could have legged it.
>>83616056
I keep hearing this, but I don't think I've seen an email or anything. Anyone got one?
>>83616147
it wasn't an email exactly. apparently it was KC who asked him, and according to him, that's what Aaron said,
>>83616200
Huh, howzabout that. I think a wombat would work better. His appearance doesn't say "badger" to me much at all, though that could be because I'm used to the sort you see in Britain.
>>83607288
Holly's dealing with the animal thing remarkably well
>>83616341
he doesn't look like a badger to me either... i actually though he was some kind of mole.
>>83616446
That's the power of the rarely-utilised Doc-hug.
>>83616446
She needed that hug to bring her back to reality
it seems to be a reoccurring thing. Without a hug for a long period of time, Holly regresses into depression and madness. See how a hug has taken the edge off of her most severe breakdown to date... although it was not enough
>>83616452
That might also work. I'm wondering if it's like Roxie, where she was originally supposed to be a meerkat but Aaron didn't think he'd made her look right and then, IIRC, someone said "Stoat?" and he was like, "sure, let's go with that".
Maybe the Doc was originally a wombat but Aaron thought that his American readership wouldn't recognise the species, so he got retconned to "badger"...
>>83616528
notice how in the absence of hugs, she seeks)perhaps unconsciously) to replicate a hug in order to remedy her sadness
>>83616446
Now with Doc she's more calm.
>>83616452
>i actually though he was some kind of mole
It was the eyes isn't?
>>83616477
>>83616528
>>83616576
She's just a little cuddle-monster.
>>83616544
it's a webcomic
readers have access to the internet
>>83616544
>where she was originally supposed to be a meerkat
was she? she doesn't really strike me as a meerkat, not with that tail.
>>83612730
>>83618957
Great form of bumping the thread
>>83619035
i honestly picture Linda with a perfectly round ass like the one on pic
>>83609967
He could try
>>83619280
Cool stuff!
>>83619280
I wouldn't be surprise if artists in Endtown only have beans to use in their paintings
>>83619280
Noice.
Actually, isn't there alot of Japanese candy made from beans? I'm sure canned beans don't work but still.
>>83619384
>Statues made of trash and bean cans
>Paintings are various shades of bean
>Poetry uses beans
might as well call it beantown
>>83619453
At least they don't eat shit like the topsiders
>>83619384
>>83619453
>>83616617
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure Aaron said the rules for what can be an anthro are something along the lines of "It or something like it must have appeared in a cartoon *and* be easily recognisable to the readers". Hence the theoretical, not-seen-yet dinosaurs being limited to, if memory serves, brontosaurs (like the famous Gertie) and... maybe T-Rexes? There was someone around here who had the inside story on dinos, I may be misremembering.
>>83620260
perfect
>>83617036
Well yeah. I think that's why it got changed. Of course, her tail doesn't look much like that of a stoat to me, either.
>>83620260
Interesting, I like how the paint represents the horrors of the war while in the same time critiques the treatment of the black slaves in the colonies.
So Doc knows Mallard on a first name basis... is this something that came to be after they'd both worked together in Endtown for a while, or did they perhaps know each other pre-War and Mallard is going to be Doc and Holly's route to Endtown?
>>83622884
>>83615525
Not related, but it's been quite a while since we've seen Mallard... I love the omnidisciplinary scientist trope.
>>83623231
I love him for the fact that he's the only being so far to have properly one-upped Marx.
>>83623521
"Oh, you think you're so good at scene-stealing that you can just steal an entire story arc?"
*YOINK!*
"THIS is how you steal a scene, you insufferable hyperdimensional dandy!"
>>83623231
>>83623521
Incidentally, the orgy he caused probably helped to prevent a bunch of Schism Syndrome cases.
Hooray?
>>83623981
No only that, he also made a lot of money charging the entrance in the Stillwater's memorial.
>>83622884
It's hard to tell, Doc refers to him as Xavier while Mallard calls him Doctor, so maybe or not they know each other with anteriority. I hope that when we go back to Endtown we get to see more of this two fighting.
>>83622884
They might find him before he mutates.
In fact, he might be the one to bring them to Endtown. He is heralded as everyone's savior there, at least in film.
>>83624483
Most mutants were brought to Endtown by Walter when they escaped from Pep stadium, that's why he was made mayor. It's possible that he received help form Mallard tho.
>He is heralded as everyone's savior there, at least in film.
That's because he, being the most super intelligent resident of Entown, built most of the infrastructure of the place, and the movie is only there to feed his ego even Wally mentions it.
>>83622884
>The rats have such unrestricted power that even Mallard can't easily do something to intervene
Goddammit I want to know what the fuck is up with the rats.
>>83625278
Whatever it is, take for sure that Mallard has a direct relation with it.
>>83624483
Bets on what he looks like?
I'm guessing a bespectacled Danny DeVito.
>>83627112
I said he looks something like the Doctor Elmer Brown
>>83627130
D'you mean Emmet Brown?
>>83627253
Yeah sorry, late night confusion
>>83622884
That's not classified, he blurts out his own name many times. I was about being disrespectful by not calling him by his title.
>>83611624
>>83611837
Before making any theory, remember that Typhoid Mary's canaccording to Aaronsuddenly mutate at any time.
>>83627130
>Elmer Brown
DRAWFAAAAAAAAGS
So is it the same time as everything went to hell in Sparkplug arc?
>>83631237
More or less
Probably before the roundups
>>83628724
Oh...
Oh that changes things
>>83628724
Yeah, but I doubt that's truly random. It could hinge on their developing identity issues, or having a particularly introspective moment that actually causes something to stick in the "buffer" long enough for the mutation process to initiate... I'm sure it'll all be explained in time once we learn the details of the "virus".
>>83631237
A few comics ago one of GoComics commenters said they asked Aaron and it's currently about a week before the bombs fell.
>>83633383
So Holly and Doc have enough time to put themselfs save unless they got captured by the NDC.
>>83633165
I'd rather have the virus' origins stay up in the air.
>>83635068
Something like the walking dead? I don't know, i wouldn't like the comic just telling us "the virus appeared one day because reasons"
>>83635068
I'd find that narratively unsatisfying, considering where it came from and how it works are likely some of the lynchpins of the backstory, especially in that the Topsiders have built so much of their rhetoric around "eradicating" it.
I think we'll eventually get an answer, though, since Aaron has dropped a shitload of hints as to how it works and made one or two references to things eventually being revealed (like the answer to "What happened to all the ordinary animals?").
>>83635394
Aaron also said that we will learn something really important (not necessary related to Holly) in the end of this arc. Wonder what it is and how this would affect the history.
>>83635579
Lucranians and he origin on the dittos, screencap this shit.
>>83635645
I'm almost sure that the dittos are some kind of extraterrestrial life of form that Marx brought from another universe.
>>83635768
>extraterrestrial life
That is confirmed. The exact details of how they got there are what's left to know.
>>83635997
Kirbee's an X-Files fan, right? Maybe she'll be uniquely-equipped to be the one that figures it all out.
>>83636384
Actually it will be revealed more late that Kirbee was a men in black agent.
>>83636384
>>83636437
Man, if she ever meets the Deadeyes, she is gonna go MEGATON-level fangirl.

I can believe that people were dumb enough to buy buddibombs but I can't believe Apex was dumb enough to believe they wouldn't come back to bite them in the ass.
>>83639591
>implying that Apex didn't sell the buddibombs to get rid of both mutants and any possible witness
>>83640066
>>83639591
Yeah but like
Is civilian ownership of firearms just nonexistent or something?
Was Sparkplug's revolver a illegal? I just can't fathom why people would actually buy fucking explosives when you could just buy a gun. I understand that it's so your baby is defended when you aren't around, but an explosion near a baby seems retarded.
>>83640144
This is my gripe with this part, we get it, it's zany and snarky commentary on the cold war paranoia, but it needs to make sense from the POV of characters. Nobody would bring explosives at home.
>>83640144
>>83640268
It was paranoia moment, rumors about people mutating in horrible monsters were everywhere and not everyone knowed how to use a gun, so Apex give what people wanted: a way to defend themselves without the need of doing nothing. O'course, it was all a trick from Apex to destroy any evidence of the existence of the mutants.
>>83640409
It doesn't make buying high explosives as home defense any less far-fetched.
Reminder that alll ray guns were originally part of a car's security system and that they even had weapons-based technology in the KITCHEN.

>>83640547
Speaking of guns, how come the rats have traditional ballistic weapons if everyone else has Amesworth-based weapons? Who stockpiled it? Why is it there?
>>83641051
Muh traditional kinetic weaponry
That and laser and traditional weapons kinda coexisted pre-war. They probably found a stockpile within the area.
>>83641051
Maybe the ray guns are exclusively for scavengers?
>>83641051
>>83641131
>>83641148
No, Zero Guns are post-war, topsider exclusive. Amesworth tanks were the most portable thing before that.
Bullets were still in heavy use and Apex had plenty of them. Mallard used to work for Apex so he must've had a box or two. The question is, why did he give the rats that firepower?
>>83641284
>The question is, why did he give the rats that firepower?
Well, they were the responsible of Endtown security but he didn't think that it would come out of his hands

>>83645106
Well, if the "virus" hits us now we'd probably turn into BoJack-type anthros. It wouldn't be that bad, pretty much just humans with animal heads.

>Fucking themselves off the bed, onto the floor, and halfway across the room.

I don't know if I would like a bj from Holly or any other mutant, with those sharp teeth that the animals have they could easily chew it up.
>>83648478
kirbee's must feel wonderful, specially with that tongue.
>>83648356

>it was on an email i think, but yeah, at least male genitals are anatomically correct

I'd love to see this email, because I think I see how this could be based on a misinterpretation:

I'd laugh if the people here are going full furry re: the equipment of the Endtown populace based on a misinterpretation. Of course, Jim's "OH GOD" certainly spoke of *some* personal discovery...
>>83651959
What if Jim was hung before mutating and the mutation left him with a pecker even japs would be ashamed of?

Holy fuck, just imagine the horror:
>Wake up
>You are an animal now
>And your dick disappeared
Still, I doubt that's the case, take for sure that Wally and Holly weren't rubbing nothing back in Endtown.
>>83652249
Yes, that would explain it without invoking the horrors of the baculum.
>>83652266
Aaron might have considered it a sensible question to ask since a lot of cartoon animals lack anatomy and he's said anthro-ness in Endtown runs on "cartoon logic".
Obviously they're equipped, there might have just been a mutual language-based misunderstanding between Aaron and the fandom re: the nature of the equipment...
>>83652628
Aaron doesn't really care about animal genitals as much as some /co/ users do
in fact, most animal breeders don't care about animal genitals as much as some /co/ users do. Most ANIMALS don't care about animal genitals as much as some /co/ users do.
>>83654117
So /co/ is full of closed furries what a surpriselets this thread die, tomorrow we can continue when the new page drops
>>83648000
they are fucking on the floor because Wally can't fit in Holly's tiny bed
>>83654222
/co/ is half or more furry than most boards
>>83655682
Half? I'd say at least half of that half moved to /mlp/ when that zoo was created.
So I'd say quarter furries that keep to their furry threads and porn on /trash/ and /b/.
>>83655755
This might blow your mind but most ponyfags became furry for FiM, not the other way around.
>>83655825
I don't doubt that but you can't deny that the Revival furries moved largely to /mlp/ and never looked back because of the shit they got.
>>83655890
>Revival furries
?
>>83655935
>revival furries
MLP revived old furry beliefs or just converted new furries.
>>83655953
So essentially MLP injected new life into the furry community and I refer to this transitionary period as the Furry Revival.
>>83655953
A lot of the more fucked in the head furries became bronies. Another funny thing is how a lot of furry artists won't do mlp shit because of how shitty the people who commissioned that stuff were.
>>83655953
>>83655970
You're taking this way too seriously. Furry is not a cult (or at least not -that- kind of cult), it's just people going "I like that cartoon animal very much". The "community" is just a bunch of persons that share that idea in one way or another but not all the same. Something that is popular with furries tends to be popular in general (though not everything, of course).
And the number of furries that hate MLP is pretty much proportional to the number of other people that do. Again, BEING FURRY DID NOT INFLUENCE MUCH PEOPLE INTO LIKING THE SHOW. In fact, the main sites tended to show disdain towards it because it brought a lot of new blood that just cared about ponies.
>>83655986

Source: your ass. If you actually have artists in mind, they just seem worse because they do MLP. If they didn't, you wouldn't care. "People" like PK are horrible no matter what they do.
>a lot of furry artists won't do mlp shit because of how shitty the people who commissioned that stuff were
That IS true because FiM does incite fans into making donut steels with every pony using almost the same template. Iit was inevitable that artists would be flooded with requests. It was pretty much the Sonic Fandom all over again in that regard.
What I mean is, the MLP fandom overlaps with furries in general as much as stuff like Pokémon, Sonic or Animal Crossing does. Believing otherwise is just stupid bias.

It's weird having remembering how old some of this shit is. 4chan is the reason a lot of people have more furry porn or know more places to find it.
>>83656343
This, 4chan is THE furry site. They always come back here no matter what.
>>83656373
4chan is a convenient and occasional discovery for furries, most either avoid it because of all the meanies or literally browse only one board for one specific kind of thread.
People are still whining or praising MLP? Jesus Christ, its been like 4 years, stop beating that dead horse.

When does the new page usually go up?
I figured it was sometime before noon.
Although I guess he could be on the west coast.
I found out about this comic 3 days ago(this thread). When I started, I didn't know it started in fucking 2009. Currently I am just past the all lizard colony.
What I wanted to ask, though, is what the fuck is up with Aaron marx? Is he just a cop out character or something? Everytime he shows up, I grown and almost dont want to continue.
>>83646065
Akunim plz

>What I wanted to ask, though, is what the fuck is up with Aaron marx? Is he just a cop out character or something? Everytime he shows up, I grown and almost dont want to continue.
Aaron Marx is Aaron Neathery's DMPC.
Imagine Endtown is a roleplaying game, Dungeons and Dragons or something, being livestreamed to an audience, and all the characters are players. Aaron Neathery is the DM, and he's one of the best DM's ever - he can do actual plot, he's great at adventure hooks, he encourages the players to really develop their characters and role-play, and he's created a great setting with lots of unique features.
But if he has one flaw, it's that he tends to deus-ex situations that are getting complicated, and the audience, if not the players, generally know by now when he's going to do it because he'll always whip out this one pet DMPC he has - a min/maxed Kender Sorcerer with abilities from obscure splatbooks and a long and involved backstory nobody really cares to read.
This character was likely based on a PC the DM used to play himself, is highly annoying and obnoxious, and nobody's sure why the DM seems to be so in love with him. Nostalgia? Power-tripping? Skewed viewpoint?
As the campaign progresses, it slowly becomes clear that the DMPC is tightly integrated with the plot, causing some to despair, but the game is still so good aside from that that they stick around anyway.
For a non-metaphorical explanation, he's a character Aaron's been writing since middleschool. He's always been annoying, but Aaron seems to greatly enjoy writing him. He feels as though he might have once been an imaginary pal or childhood alter-ego (and we sometimes joke that he's Aaron's tulpa). A lot of us find him irritating and and wish he wasn't in the comic, but it is what it is, and it looks like we're eventually going to be exposed to a lot more of him, so buckle up and hope the rest of the comic makes up for it (it has so far).
>>83663499
Same answer i got in /trash/.
Thanks for the response.
>>83660278
Lately Aaron has been uploading the pages around these hours, before that he droped them by the morning.
>>83658557
Kill yourself.
Getting worried about Aaron again...
>>83665010
I did it! I am totally caught up and quite frankly, I am not too sure how I feel about this comic.
>>83665068
Give us your initial thoughts and feelings.
>>83665010
At this point he's not really updating late since he's been doing it for a while now.
And it's not like it ain't justified, drawing Hillside and all the action seems a lot more complicated than just the dust, the sky and someone running for their lives.
>>83665068
It didn't convince you?
>>83665145
True, Hillside does have a much more complex environment.
>>83665068
It can take a while to process after a binge. I'd say think it over for a bit.
>>83665217
I don't think that someone would binge the entire comic just to end up saying "nah".
Though there was that one guy some weeks ago that said Aaron's storytelling was flawed over some bullshit reasons.
>>83665128
Alright. Ill start with the first arc with al and the rhino. This arc is what made me finish the comic no matter what. I was so enthralled by the story, the backstabbing of that one ex-apex dude, that I knew aaron was a good writer. However, during this story line, i noticed some weird things such as how some situations were easily handled by extraordinary means. In my mind, I thought that it was either a fluke or one time thing, or that is how aaron solves complex problems. Turns out it was the latter.
Going on to the cat dude, I totally thought it was a flash back in the begining as how the panel before the cat story was flask in darkness. However, i think that is just me being stupid.
Just writing this, I think I would have to write a lot, lot more about this, so I will sum it up quickly.
I think Marx is a huge fucking mistake that almost made me stop reading. I hate what he did to Holly who used to be my favorite character. I miss Flask. Those robots are creepy as fuck, but make for a good tone setter. The trial lagged on for too long and was a total fucking cop out that marx was the high counsel the whole time. That made me super mad.
I am glad they are out of Endtown, though endtowns fate doesn't seem right. It is too early to go back to a system of which they lived through.
Anything else you want to know?Flask was right. Kill all outsiders
>>83665313
Oh yeah. I dont understand how the Racoon knew all that stuff nor do I know how he lived. That seems weird.
Actually, the whole Lizard capital was kind of iffy. But at least it answered a few questions I had. Also, a great character came out of it and a not so great one.
So...I dont know. There is some great stuff and some really bad stuff.
One last thing, though. I find it weird that some of the characters change their 'character' at the drop of a hat. I find that very jarring.
>>83665524
>Oh yeah. I dont understand how the Racoon knew all that stuff nor do I know how he lived. That seems weird.
IIRC that required an email explanation. Long story short: His moment of schism allowed him to be possessed by, and play the part of the first appearance of, the comic's Big Bad, "Eye/I", an entity which can see through the "veil", which appears to be either the barrier between the present and the future, or the barrier between alternate universes (and some of these universe are at different effective time-points, so seeing into them is like seeing the past/future anyway) and who seems to desire that lots of people suffer and die in unpleasant ways. Eye may be linked to the mutations, as it seems to regard anthros as its "wayward children".
>>83665313
>Flask was right. Kill all outsiders
But her plan was retarded tho.
>>83665524
>Also a great character came out of it and a not so great one
I suppose that you are talking about Kirbee and Chic here, any reason why you don't considere one them not so great? I will admit that in my point of view Kirbee is good while Chic is meh as characters.
>>83665945
>I will admit that in my point of view Kirbee is good while Chic is meh as characters.
Child characters never work. Plus, he doesn't have a personality. I know one might say, it is coming, but at least a shell of a personality should be present. All I see of him right now is...I dont know. He tries to do good? Fuck they all have that quality.
Kirbee is great though. An innocent in that kind of world is really the best.
>But her plan was retarded tho.
Yeah, but her idea was correct.
>>83665920

... that's terrifying.
So is nobody gonna post the update?
New comic's up but the site is doing that thing where it won't give it to me...
>>83666174
>wait. I didn't say "Simon says!"
What did he mean by this?
>>83666174
This implies the U.S. congress never stopped the U.S. from joining the LoN. Interesting. Could also WW2 didnt happen in the same way here.
Last Panel:"But back in the Stone Age..."
>>83666226
A search car just appeared, so he wants them to stand against the newspaper thing for a bit.
>>83666174
League of Nations? Is this the sidefuture where WW2 never happened? What the hell is happening!
Also it's an interesting way to show more plot, reminds me of that newspaper clip in Eli's lab in HL2.

He's cute but I'm sure he'll be dead in few pages. NDDC is on the case already. I think we know how Holly and Doc now wound up in Pep stadium.

Dammit, Aaron.
Sudden use of photos looks weird. Not sure that was a good choice.
Thirty-Five Cents? That's a strong currency...
League of Nations puts the divergence from our universe way back in the 20th, no?
Holly is dealing with her problems by focusing on the present.
Secret mutant underground ahoy! Bet they've been doing this for the last year...
>>83666174
Heh, the newspaper are hyper-realistic in the Endtown Universe. Also seems like we will know a new character, lamentably it doesn't seems that he will live that longer.
