Endtown by Aaron Neathery for March 25, 2020

Something wicked this way comes.

I don’t thing that roaches open creaking doors. We need more light, now! long hallway door after door and someone/thing is shining a light at them. It looks like there are crabs on the wall and floor near the source of the light.

Nice artwork, Mr Neathery.

I had to copy the image and maximize exposure to see that we are looking up in panel 3, seeing Wally’s light from below. And the other 3 are seen as shadows.

Umm, no, not roaches, unless they are big enough to open the door. Now the dittoes could make something that would sound like that, but I imagine they are with Wally.

But my thought was the sound of all those scarab beetles from The Mummy (1999 Brendan Fraser version).

Okay, now I’m creeped out, wondering what might be moving around in the dark. Probably a what, maybe a who. And possibly more than one. ::shiver::

Toothbrushes.

There are guardians at the bottom of my Pharos.

Still waiting to see who or what is coming after them!

Five will get you ten that those sounds aren’t coming from a friendly source.:/

Mutts!

Aaron could write/draw strictly horror..

The lighthouse keeper has woke up……,and is walking your way………wearing heels. Wally!! Douse that light!!!

Where is Irving now that you need him?

My money is on Chick walking through the door.

…it’s someone from New York City with the sniffles…

Can’t be roaches; they go “Boom Shicka Shicka”…

Too bad those dittos can’t be used to light up the place. … or can they?

Maybe I am wrong, but the way the tk tk tk … is shaded, I get the feeling that whatever is walking is not coming up the stairs towards our heroes, it is traversing the room at the bottom. So maybe it has a different goal in mind, perhaps a room at the bottom where it has something it is seeking or has a desire to do.

^The shading indicates that the noise is decreasing, because Wally’s light has gotten the whateveritis’s attention and it has stopped moving. Duffy’s remark about roaches would seem almost appropriate because roaches do scatter when a light is turned on However, the sound is not consistent with a scattering, which should have the tks coming closer together.

Toothbrushes bouncing up steps?

Writing on the walls with chalk. Although where you’d get chalk…
