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…she could save the cake to show to Mr. Hopper every night, and hope he doesn’t eventually notice the mold?

It’s the gesture of love he was looking for. The cake was incidental?

Uh-Oh, not so good for building up Linda’s confidence or self esteem.

Now if he had eaten it…. all of it. Then no one else could have tasted it and wondered about the makings of. I feel that her partner in this cafe will be a very dangerous person, will she or nil she. This could open up an entire investigation into diet. Would a chicken eat only beans for so many years appreciate a Quich?
Are any of the creatures of the river incognizant? OOOO I love new words.
Blessed Be

All Mr. Hopper cares about is that she remembers…

I’ve been going through the old Al and Gustine strips. One thing I noticed is that there’s precedent on mutants discarding self-produced organics in the trash. When Al re-entered Endtown with a bag of bean cans, he disguised himself with a cape and an old fish head. It’s very likely that Cooper, who suffers from fish head leprosy, had shed that head and tossed it into the trash before Al found it. It’s equally plausible that Cooper has done this more than once in the past, so whoever picks up the trash has to be aware of these bio-disposable discards (since fish heads are going to stink pretty quickly). The question becomes “are these self-produced organics (milk, eggs, fish heads) collected by anyone else?”

The memories all are combined in his hopper
Distilled into tears as he takes in the sight
The kindly old gentleman dons his old topper
Fulfilled at long last, he turns back to the night

As crazy as it seems. You maybe right about that.
