Endtown by Aaron Neathery for August 14, 2019

I was right, you DO need Topsider gloves to touch the comic!

suspense! ugh!

64 PAGES! ALL COLOR! (not really, blame the marketing director)

She left him, but she’s not giving him up?

Oh boy, getting meta, here. We saw that comic briefly once before if I remember aright.

And it just struck me that Aaron is a BIG Philip K. Dick fan.

Way to go, man – when does the brightly striped aerosol can make its appearance? Or are the Dittos…

so it’s an artifact of an alternate universe that can only be seen through the lenses of a topsider mask

It’s story time!! Gather round folks to hear the story of Trixie and Crazy Cat…….not to be confused with Tom and Jerry.

Just because this bird gets swallowed by a tornado on page fifteen doesn’t mean the story has any basis in their existence, does it?

You don’t want to see all of the things that are invisible to us.

This is why I buy all of Mr. Neathery’s books, I’m too absent minded to be able to follow the details of long story arcs. This is also why I always read all the comments to this strip; you people are my photographic memory. Kudos, and keep it up.

This is some powerful stuff! Hope it doesn’t backfire on Wally.

So, is the comic Topsider tech? Or, is Topsider tech the only way to deal with the comic? What happens when your mom throws the entire collection into the trash? Are collectors Topsiders? Or, are Topsiders collectors?

Tell us a story, Wally!!

Suggestion: The Topsider goggles are still powered by the biosuit in whatever dimension the goggles came from. Someone in the other dimension examining the biosuit could notice the drain on the energy system and trace it to the torn area where the goggles were. From there they might surmise the goggles are in another dimension and are still active. If so, then disconnecting the power in the other dimension could render the goggles useless.

Hmm, has anyone else noticed that the comic is copyright J.C.P now who is that? Its a definite clue as Aaron doesn’t do things without a purpose. Part of what I love about this story.

A beautiful bow, indeed! https://www.gocomics.com/endtown/2012/08/06
