Endtown by Aaron Neathery for May 31, 2017

He walked right into it. Perfect target. She’ll have no recollection of the murder. The same thing that controlled Jim has found a new place…….Endtown. Something wicked this way comes…….oh never mind…….it’s already here!

I can be certain of only one thing right now… THIS IS GONNA HURT!!!

Well whaddya know…? It turned out to be a trap, after all.

Somebody turn on the lights. I can’t see.

Thick as a brick.

I don’t think Heather Hoss instigated this trap. I think they are both victims. Otherwise, the story would be too easy, and Neathery is anything but a predictable story teller.

OK, I have NO Idea what is going on here. Who is in the last panel?Is it the wolf being attacked?

At this point the wolf hasn’t done anything wrong. just out walking about AFA anyone knows.

Say hello to Mr. Brick.

Say hello to my leetle keeln fired friend!! A clear case of self defense, pre-emptive self defense.

I used the Grab app on OS X to capture the image from the page and then opened it in Preview. Imaxed the exposure, and shadow settings. With that one can see without doubt that it is Heather. One of her ears shows, and that she is wearing her dress becomes obvious.

Probably not a trap, just Heather acting in self-defense, which considering the last attack, seems to be a good idea.

like i said before sometimes the hunter becomes the hunted

After dark Mr. Brick is no ones friend.

RE- Video snapshot by Baslim the Beggar, I also resorted to photo enhancement, I went with histogram enhancement with the same result. It is Heather, there is a near perfect silhouette of her dress, ears, sleeve and hoof on the brick. He is about go down hard!

So nicely done this artwork! Also now I hear the music from “The Night Stalker” the first tv movie about Carl Kolchak.

OO SON, SAW IT COMIN’!

Really? What moron walks down a dark alley in a town like that, or in a world like that. You never know what might be there.

I suspect that this guy is really Heather’s guardian angel.

I think this particular strip is quite simple – Heather is still in a state of shock and not thinking straight. She sees a wolf, who may or may not be dangerous (I personally don’t think he is – just curious) and strikes in what she believes in self-defence. Understandable but tragic all the same.

The artwork here is great.

A dark thought just crossed my mind… Do we know what actually happened to the wolf street cleaner? We saw Heather focused on his jaws… Maybe that unidentified wolf in her shop wasn’t the arsonist. She could be a serial killer and the street cleaner is one of her victims.

Too much imagination. You can come to any conclusion using fuzzy (Il)logic.

Ran it through photoshop and turned the curves all the way up. It’s a moot point now, but indeed was really hard to tell it was Heather Hoss until then.
