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.

Baking Soda!
Clever.
Also useful if the cake does not turn out so well ;-)

I have the sad feeling it won’t be as good as he remembers…

For those of you wishing to know about Aaron’s condition please check my comment at about 8 PM California time yesterday. He knows I have commented it and all is well.
I had thought of soda as a leveling , it is used in biscuits. Maw must had known about baking and given her that final ingredient. Also oatmeal can be a flour as well. Check any bread aisle in any store and there is oatmeal used in organic bread.
Begins to sound very good. Any cooks want to try it? Let me know if it is good. I don’t cook any more. Baby food is all packaged and ready to eat.
Love you Aaron. Get better.
Blessed Be

Bless her, Linda’s an angel in disguise. I don’t think Hopper will care if that cake tastes like sawdust…it’s Linda’s caring heart that will make it the best cake, EVER. …Hm..we know Linda has a son..but we’ve never heard about the child’s father. I’m looking forward to learning more about our little Koala. ….Get well soon, Aaron. You have one of the best comics I’ve ever read.

Leavening makes cakes, etc rise.

Leavening makes cakes, etc rise.
Only if the protein structure is there. That is why an oatmeal flour or rice flour cake will never rise like a wheat one. Still the worst swill, made with loving care, can taste like ambrosia to someone who has lost everything.

Here’s wishing Aaron good health and happiness.

Good health costs though folks, every little bit helps. If you can’t purchase, even a small donation helps to buy the paper this strip is drawn on.

Tried to comment about four hours ago, but some sort of technical problem at GoComics cut me off. All of it, not just this page. Hope it’s fixed now…but they didn’t e-mail me my morning comics set yet.

Anyway…I’m thinking that Linda will make the cake, that Mr. Hopper will love it…and that the Endtowners will be scandalized by the ingredients selection.
