I hope the dittos are getting paid overtime for providing such detailed back-stories (Holly & Doc Chase) for Wally, KIrbee, Chic, and Irving. This is a lot to absorb for Wally & Co, and I hope they didn’t get lost in this back-story shuffle,
I doubt we’ll see our brave, crazy fox again. He might be Marx and have some sort of Godlike way to get around this mess but Holly wouldn’t have seen it and we probably won’t either. Either way, Godspeed, Mr. Fox.
I feel the urge to philosophize about “Mary Sues” and such in a general way, given the comments above.As a [would-be] writer, I put a lot of myself into the characters I write—-bits of my life, personal habits, appearance, and such—-sometimes even my own name. There’s nobody I know better than I know myself. So the characters come to resemble me.But these characters are not me. They can’t be. I don’t know myself so well that I can replicate myself exactly in a story, and, besides, the characters will have different knowledge and experiences than I’ve had.Autobiographical character work, putting a high gloss on you and your own life—-“Mary Sues,” as the fanfic communities have come to call it—-has its place, but it’s important to remember it’s just another writerly device. And, as is often said, “the views expressed do not necessarily represent the views of the writer.” They’re there, they work well (if the writer has done it right), they might resemble the writer in some way, but they are not the writer and shouldn’t be taken for such.It’s sometimes held here in the Endtown fan comments, that Aaron Marx is in some way a “Mary Sue” for Aaron Neathery, given the first name and Marx’s godlike powers and role in the stories—-but I can’t say he is for sure, I don’t know enough about Mr. Neathery to know that. But if Aaron Marx is a “Mary Sue” for Mr. Neathery, it’s important to keep in mind that he is not Mr. Neathery.

I usually have a fox jump over me five times to bring me back to life. I don’t know what works for foxes.

For someone who didn’t have a tail until a little while ago, she’s sure keeping it tucked!

Last panel looks like they’re on the run again. How would they know where to go?

Fairly sure Mr. Neathery cannot swallow explosions… (“Mmmm, explody”)
