It's the End of Civilization as we know it. A mutagenic plague followed by a global war fought with disintegration weaponry has left much of the Earth a desert of fine powder and what remains of humanity fragmented into humans, animal-like mutants and bloodthirsty monstrosities with lots of teeth. The surface, still teeming with the mutagenic virus, has become the domain of the dreaded Topsiders; well-organized, technologically advanced, and heavily armed un-mutated humans sworn to exterminate mutations of any kind in order to clear the way for the eventual resurgence of a new, genetically clean humanity. Faced with annihilation, mutants and "impure" humans have retreated into the depths of the planet to form communities and hope to win, or at least survive, what may prove to be mankind's final war. Endtown is the continuing story of one of those communities.

That is a really ()% *^# twist in the plot. I sure hope that this is just a drunken, battered dream. Need a little hand showing up and showing down for “like”. Nope
Blessed Be

Happy Thanksgiving AN! I was wondering if there are any gerbils in your storyline, just curious? Typo aside…great stuff.

Years of proof reading made me realize that we expect the correct spelling despite what is actually there. An old proofreader’s trick is to read the copy upside down so you are not distracted by the meaning of the words.
Happy Thanksgiving.

So… Linda Kowalski is going to have a nightmare dream sequence, in which a Topsider skins her alive, screaming and bleeding.
Well, as long as she doesn’t use any strong language, it should be good enough for GoComics.

I did not notice the typo, but it did seem the TopSider suit was not as ( ahem ) form fitting as usual. Too small for Maw, too tall for Sam. Methinks this is a dream, or there is a super secret legion of heroes prepared for ex-TopSiders who have trouble adapting. Social programming is pretty far advanced, I have some experience, and could have turned her into a staunch Endtown supporter within three weeks, with sufficient latitude on behavior modification and other techniques.
Have you noticed how many Nobels have gone to Behavioral Economists in the past couple of decades?
Anyway.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO AARON AND ALL
