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.

Sure as heck didn’t stop him from saving Al and Gustine.

And he can’t grow anything to replace beans, either.

They don’t know yet that they are in combat with Allgod, woops I misspelled it. Or did I? These comments are going to be educating I think.

“Sure as heck didn’t stop him from saving Al and Gustine.”
Times change. Wonder what the difference would be between then and now…

It could be that there’s no head of security (AKA Flask) for him to command, who can command the rats?

And I suppose waving broken beakers around is adult behavior…

But can he refold a map?
Does he know which came first, the chicken or the egg?
And…most importantly… how do they get the caramel into the caramel bar?

To use the words of a band that otherwise crossed my awareness rather peripherically, I predict a riot.

“Drop that Flask!” And Mallard did
A long, long time ago
But happiness, that seemed well-hid
Is now her daily show
He knew it was “defective,” thus
Was ready, quite, to bust it
Who leads the Rats? Who runs that bus?
And can some rat be trusted?
Some rats are good — our famous Doc
Is one stellar example
But nasties Endtown has in stock
We’ve seen here quite a sample

Vote for Endtown 2.0
And for Doc Rat, too

Mallard didn’t save Petey, and thus Al and Gustine. That was Flask, who commandeered Mallard’s droid for the purpose.

I think I just came up with the pattern for prime numbers in the same time Mallard did, maybe less. Figuring out how to express it may take a little longer. It involves inequalities and factorials, and Gocomics just reminded me it doesn’t like to post formulas without thinking they’re formatting. Maybe I’ll get around to publishing it some day along with my angle trisection method. Someday.

I wonder how many movies are showing at the googolplex.

One more time. It’s a FLASK, not a BEAKER. Look it up.

The former Head of Security decreed that from henceforth every beaker will now be called flask.

It’s good to see it’s groovy to be square.
It’s good to see a battle fought on care.
It’s good to see a problem they can share.
It’s good to see a duck with so much hair.
