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.

Well. . . . so much for Holly being willing to help. But knowing her, she’ll come around eventually.

Love the candlestick phone! Can’t blame Holly, though. I agree with Patricia Rivera. She’ll come around.

The flight of the phone makes a very violent statement.
I am voting that she will come around though. I am sure that if Holly and Wally had wanted to social ize they would have done so when she was in observation.
Blessed Be

“I agree with Patricia Rivera. She’ll come around.”
Fortunately, by that time it will be too late and Linda will have conveniently dusted herself. As Wally will reminder her, “nuh-uh. No easy answers.”

will Linda redeem herself with a Flask-like mission to get rid of her former employers?
Nabuquduriuzhur said, 6 months ago
Wally and Holly. Wonder when their kids Dolly and Golly, Rolly, Tolly, Volly, Colly, Nolly, Polly, and Jolly come along?

The candlestick phone probably saw a major come back in Endtown; since a conventional receiver would never span the distances between some mutants mouths and ears.
I am sure Wally will convince his main squeaker to try and help Linda out; especially since he was a real mess himself.

Holly will do it for her stepdad. Probably with a little coaxing from Wally.

By the way, we still have not seen Holly in clothes other than her uniform.

Wally is quite responsible for Linda’s state
But for him, she’d be dust and have no current fate
Though for Holly, I think we’ve a bit of a wait
There’s too much, too recent, to just wipe off the slate
Still our Wally remembers that night, and her gun
Linda aiming to kill, Wally hot on the run
While Blackie above was enjoying the fun
Seems like long years ago, but it was only one

Very good artwork. You can almost hear the “what in the h—” from her expression.

That loving little hare has so much heart she’ll eventually find a way to forgive her former tormentor. It’s her nature to find balance in the midst of chaos.
I just hope Linda will forgive herself before it’s too late. Poor little koala. Sometimes the soul we judge the harshest, is our own.GrumpyBadger said, 6 months ago
Careful now. That’s an antique.
