Endtown by Aaron Neathery for January 14, 2022

Ditto Deja Vue

They’re uniquely suited to deal with this reality. Let’s hope Terrence doesn’t freak out and go into Schism Syndrome. He’s had only a few hours/days to adjust to his new form.

Apologies for the earworm in advance.

It’s a small world after all.

(evil grin)

Ok? Last row, Wally on the left appears to be noticing the group above him on “higher plains” just before the group notices themselves, “right in front of themselves”? I think there is about to be a crowd of, “why the heck are we all here?!”

Did’ya ever have the feeling you were walking past the same background, over and over again?

Ah jeeze, they transported to the Hanna Barbera dimension!

The world is a (small) three-torus.

It looks like soon our heroes will be beside themselves. Or maybe Wally is just getting ahead of himself…

Will the real Cardoodles….please line up.

The Neverending Story..?

If they can loop around to the upper right hand corner, maybe they can pick up that pile of floating rope in the shape of a signature, and use it to help figure out where they’re going vs where they’ve been.

Notice that half-Alan at the very end is exactly the same as Alan on the second line, and Wally at the beginning of the last line (looking a bit upward) is a match to Wally on the first line.

Reminds me a bit of the interlude in “Duck Amuck” where a film glitch causes two Daffy Ducks to dispute each other.

The last shall be first, and the first shall be last……..“Will it go Round in Circles?” Indeed!

I knew reality is a Riemann Sphere. ….okay, maybe in 2D, reality is a Riemann Toilet Paper Tube.

Notice that in the lower part, the guys have stopped, or in Alan’s case is about to stop, because ahead of them they see themselves as they were at the top left. (I know I am making an assumption that the Alan on the lower right is the same as on the upper left, but I think that Neathery is nudging us to accept that because the Wally on the lower left looks the same as on the upper left.

This suggests a convergence of time and space. Or times and spaces…

Very interesting, Mr. Neathery! I hope you are having lots of fun doing this! Give us more, please…

Schrodinger’s cat is both live and dead. The live one notices the dead one.

If this is where all realities meet, then all realities’ versions of Wally and company who make it this far will meet. Meet the Council of Wallechinskys.

Terrence seems to have some idea what’s going on since he is the only one not looking around.

Part one: This is Friday, so I suppose this means no Sunday strip this week.

Part two: I really feel for those guys who were left behind. They even seemed more human than Terrence. Sad to think that, by now, they might be someone’s lunch.

But now, we’re going around in circles. Tell me, will this deja vu never end?

Ouroboros world..

Another thought: The longe we go without seeing Kirby, Chic, and Irving, the more I‘m starting to think they‘ve been written out of the story. Which is too bad; Wally has already one love-of-his-life written out of the story.

It’s like they’re taking a long walk on a short plank.

It appears to be an animation walk cycle with the group looking around; keys without inbetweens. I like how their anxiety increases in their eyes as they walk. It also reminds me of horizontal movement on an old time TV.

I guess they will know where they’re at when they get there!

Print the page out. Cut the sections and turn them into a flip book. The gang looks so animated.

The film from the reel has come off the sprocket.

Wherever you go, there you are.

I’ve seen this before… oh yeah, Neo in the train station/gateway…

The comments string is just nearly as entertaining as the story Aaron is telling; we all wonder where it goes next…Storyteller knows, but won’t show his cards!

What I see Is the white goo get tino shallower as they walk out.

It’s an episode of Berndt das Brot.

At some point I expect to see a red dot of sorts.

It’s a small world after all.

It’s a small world after all.

It’s a small world after all.

It’s a small, small world!

(some here will hate me for that one… it’s now stuck in my own head!)
