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.

Is Wally still listed as one of their most valuable field agents… or did they find out the truth?

Well, I am confused. . I must take time to backwash and see what it is about this plot I am missing. See you all later
Blessed Be

Did the rats ever think of Wally as one of their most valuable field agents? Flask looked at his record, then was disappointed with him “in the flesh”
And I have to ask, does “creampuff” have a different connotation Down Under? Your comment yesterday was spot on about Mr Neathery’s professionalism and mastery of the art. He will never let us down. He is a very sensitive, and does care about his readers. But he’s no creampuff. It takes a strong man to stand up and point out the foibles of society. There will be some who do not appreciate the message he is delivering. Some have already begun expressing their discomfort. I may be wrong, but in the future, someone may unearth this gem, and place it on the same pedestal as MAUS.

Is he going to the topside? or is the security up near the top?

@dirtyoldlady1
The rats are “Security”. Another name could be “Homeland Defense” Makes ya stop and think, don’t it.

I think that End town will be along side Maus, if anyone will! I’ve gone back and read it several times. As I have with End town. I have a few other cartoon books, like Gordo, and a few Calvin and Hobbes, but as long as I can buy End town books I will.
I also have a complete set of “for better or for worse” that I would like to sell as a set, but local buy-back type books stores are not interested.

one of these days, i’ll have to read mr. spiegelman’s epic work.
for now, i liken the endtown favorably with another work i consider epic, mary hanson roberts’ “here comes a candle”.

Security is up near the top

Folks, Jus Sayin isn’t able to be around to remind us to vote, and he must singlehandedly be voting the heck outta the comics, because when he’s under the weather all our strips drop like a rock. So what say we all try to pick up the slack!

“Is he going to the topside?”
Security is the block of rooms between the Topside elevators and the entrance to the main colony. So, Wally has to go up to get down.

This story line reminds of a quote from the movie V For Vendetta. V speaking: “People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.” Aaron seems to be addressing several current issues in the strip.
