Endtown by Aaron Neathery for January 07, 2013

Hmm.. Milk, Eggs, Chocolate and Sugar, I hope her next stop is a house full of wheat people to get flower! ;DWait… that won’t make sense, I guess one from dried beans will suffice.

Yup, eggs. Remember how Maude was at the same time, ashamed and defensive, and sort of defiant about her ability to give milk? She owned her body’s new ‘skill’ by saying “Hey, it’s what I do.” But this chicken/person is ashamed of her eggs. – I think before Linda’s done, she’s going to show a lot of people that their ‘newer’ bodies come with some remarkable fringe benefits.

Horray. Aaron you kicked up again. We are really going to enjoy making this cake. Well not as much fun as AM’s banquet , no cheeze or wine. I think you have hit a jackpot. So she adopts an old man instead of a orphan. So be it.Love ya. Blessed Be

I wonder what the reprucussions will be…

The hen looks embarrassed at having to dispose of them. I’d guess that they’re unfertilized, meaning that if she is sexually active and trying to have offspring, that she’s not successful this time.

Aaron – I hope the doctor visit went ok! What’s the prognosis?

Is Arron sick? I hope it’s going to be OK!That was an embarrassed hen for sure. This may be a real breakthrough for End town citizens!

As a celiac, I can vouch for the superior flavor of soya flour over regular bean flour. And I thought Maude ran the underground market on rare goodies. In six or seven years Linda is the first to set up an underground market?Oh Trudy, Trudy, Trudy.JusSayin

We see this is an upscale birdShe has a house! A yard! My word!The house is topped by snow-proof peak(A thing less useful than her beak)In style, this likely can’t be be beat(Such flaunted wealth seems indiscreet)But still the chicken looks bereftAnd Linda took her trash.That’s theft.She’s risking much for Mr. HopperAnd her approach may come a-cropperHer wondrous add-on to his dietWill likely cause an Endtown riot.=|====/ Level HeadVote for Endtown 2.0And for Doc Rat, tooThe Endtown ForumThe Endtown AuctionThe Endtown Books

Wait, Linda will be Mr Hopper’s Sugar Mama?

There would be a distinct difference between an intelligent cow using their milk and an intelligent chicken using it’s eggs. In the case of the milk it is meant to sustain baby cows but in the case of the eggs, well those are what baby chickens hatch from and would smack of cannibalism.

Linda is really putting herself out there for another mutant. is she starting to care about Endtown in general? Even so, if Linda pulls this one off, how can she keep it going? Tootsie Rolls dont exactly grow on trees….wait. There are no more trees…

Dagnabbit muskie! stay out’n the hen house!

Best Wishes to Mr Neathery….

linda was playing a hunch. The hen looked more nervous than embarrassed, putting out eggs in the garbage late at nite. ( who puts their garbage cans in the middle of the backyard?)

Soylent Cake is people! Soylent Cake is people!!

One hen’s trash is a koala’s treasure..Eating unfertilized eggs would not be cannibalism, since they have no potential to turn into living beings at this point. Besides, have you ever seen how ravenously chickens will go after their own eggs, if broken? Doesn’t last long; those pointy little beaks come up dripping with yolk, and the beady little eyes dart about, looking for more.. I miss having chickens!!

Well Aaron, guess that answers my questions from yesterday’s e-mail. Get well soon!

The birth of a new Endtown enterprise: Kowalski Recycling!;-)

Linda has found an untapped resource. But how will citizens of Endtown view this? Acceptable behavior? Probably not. The hen may be getting rid of the eggs to avoid what may hatch. Giving milk lactating is one thing but laying eggs then disposing of them would be (you know the word). A dangerous path Linda is going down. Sure to help please one person. But just one? What is next? A cat person comes in wanting fried chicken? Its how I know you love me? Linda, Linda, Linda. How will this work out? She may generate more problems than she solves.Get well Aaron. Take your meds and rest. Remember to put back in the good stuff. Those antibiotics can tear you up. Good probiotics. If you can stand it try goats milk. Helped me one time over a severe infection. (Car crash, the steering wheel was shoved into my abdomen and tore my colon and it leaked inside not good) The meds knocked down all the stuff including the good. The goats milk helped replace what I had lost.

First of all: Take care, Aaron. Hope you get better soon. Hospitals suck.

Question of the day from a city boy who didn’t stay on Uncle Scotty & Aunt Ethel’s farm long enough to get the answer myself: How can you tell if an egg is unfertilized?

Finally, in response to Jenner’s post: I’m going to give my copies of the Endtown books to my 14-year-old grandson, who has an interest in anime (he turned me on to a great, dark Japanese TV program called Death Note) and graphic novels. Then I’ll buy a couple more on Amazon for myself. It won’t be much help, but I’m not working right now and money at home is starting to tighten up a little.

This can’t end well.

Feel better Aaron!!

Jenner…You are a good egg. No pun intended, either.

It’s interesting, in many “precocial” species of birds (those that are able to run after mom soon after hatching, like chickens and quail), the hen will lay one egg a day, until she has laid all she needs to, then she will sit on them and start the growing process. The eggs will hatch within hours of each other, despite being laid over a week or more!

I’m glad to hear that this infection wasn’t as horrible as the last. I’m still praying that Aaron recovers quickly and that the new medical bills aren’t as horrible as the previous ones.

If there’s no rooster, you can reasonably assume the eggs are unfertilized. Unless the chickens are parthenogenetic.

Every time I try to book from this strip, it gets exciting!

I need a giant flame pit, and the world’s remaining bottle of BBQ sauce… I mean, if I wasn’t supposed to eat giant mutant chickens, why are they made OUT OF MEAT?

Hey, everyone!

I don’t comment here very often, but I just wanted to remind Aaron that he’s awesome. Get well soon!

I’m very much enjoying the story…. can’t wait for tomorrow!

This is becoming rather egg-citing.It’s my first attempt at a pun. Work with me…

OH! And here’s hoping that Mr. Aaron Neathery has a full recovery! Get well soon!!!

I saw a lot of things tryin’ to get at the eggs in the coop, but I never saw any koalas.

I hate beans! But I won’t eat them eggs, that would just be too weird…Why are the citizens of endtown stupid?

My chickens lay double yolkers, wind eggs, blue, brown, pink, and purple, and one without a shell. But they have never laid any anthros.

Maybe anthro birds give live birth to anthros but lay unfertile eggs.

I’ve always found the size of the eggs you use makes a difference. My chocolate chip cookie recipe never came out right if I didn’t used jumbo eggs. What size egg does a formerly human mutant chicken lay?

“So said person who produced the eggs isn’t human?”Ummm, don’t think I was implying that. Human is as human does.. I was just chattin’ ’bout chicken biology..

Another thing about eggs…they’re not safe to eat if they’re not either fresh-laid or quickly refrigerated. They’re little potential salmonella bombs. So I hope these eggs Linda clearly gathered up haven’t been lying around for awhile before being tossed in the garbage…

she’s gonna make a cake ;)

Another point about slippery slopes. What if someone dies naturally in Endtown? What do you do with the body? Im sorry, but i dont want to see Tony Turtles name in the obituaries one day and on the specials list at Endtown CafeSorry, my bad attempt at humour. But my point is validHoping for a fast recovery for Aaron again. we miss you!

It suddenly struck me that all the mutants might be effectively sterile, as the mutagenic virus did a massive tap-dance on everyone’s DNA, the odds of any kind of useful match up would seem nigh on impossible. Either that, or the virus targets only a few key sequences for morphology (has it been established that the various types still have the same baseline metabolism as mammal-based endotherms?) and in that case, inter-fertility might still be possible, with all the potential for mix and match combos.

Here’s an idea. What if Linda’s venture causes the residents of Endtown to start using their natural production, sort of like a farmer’s market. Might be something they could consider? I know, ethics, etc, but just saying…

According to Cooper, he had mentioned to Wally that since babies are asleep in the womb, they are actually born anthro. no case of a monstrosity was shown to be born from an anthro. besides, both parents are mutant, logical to assume that the egg and sperm will hav the virus

my origional point was that i never seen a cross hybrid child

Get well, Aaron.

ACK! I didn’t realize Aaron was so ill!
