   No waterspouts is really good. But is that some sunshine I see peeking through the clouds? Is some helpful normalcy about to take shape here?

   I believe Holly’s ship was the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald. Also, Holly’s ship had interdimensional engines attached to it. This ship looks like a regular cruise ship, thus the deck chairs.

   Well, I assume that something moderately successful will happen here, otherwise, Endtown will have now ended, with our intrepid group permanently encased in stone.

   I really love Trudeau, but he seems to have goofed with this strip. It’s obvious that he is referring Republicans as the clueless ones, and the Democrats as the thoughtful and prudent members of congress. However, he then refers to the chairman as “Senator” (who has now been infected by Mr. Covid), and refers to the fully vaccinated “ranking member” as being immune to Covid’s attack.

   The Senate is currently run by the Democrats, so the chairman would be a Democrat (and thus very likely to be the vaccinated one), and the ranking member would be a Republican, and thus very likely to not be vaccinated!

   I’m guessing that Trudeau was thinking of the House of Representatives (run by the Republicans) when he put this strip together, but liked the idea of using the address of “Senator” as a good way to poke fun of the pompous and clueless type who would likely be running this sort of hearing.

   What looks like a force wall of some sort in the 2nd panel strikes me as being a distorted echo of a SNAP (the lines look a bit like distorted letters), so I’m wondering if he ran into a shockwave formed by a SNAP blast from further back in the tunnel, which was then followed by a close-in SNAP right where he was trying to go.

   So, yeah, going forward appears to be the only option. Also, I wonder if his panic retreat was prompted by the fact that the topsider experimental group had encountered EYE enough times that Terrence was in no mood to face it again.

   Perhaps, but he did seem genuinely moved by Alan’s sacrifice and death. Perhaps because as a non-malevolent topsider, he had gotten somewhat used to not hating anthros, but more involved in observing them in a detached clinical sort of way. But when confronted by Alan and his his genuine compassion for the others (including himself), I think that he finally realized the actual personhood of Alan and is now growing because of it.

   From what I remember, after Flask had wreaked havoc on her captors with the scalpel, I think she said (or guessed) that the Top-siders had put a security lock on those devices to avoid similar problems in the future.

   Or maybe that’s just part of the fun of drawing anthros.

   Here’s hoping for a kind and helpful outcome, although Terrence is not necessarily known for such. But does it strike anyone as unusual that Terrence the peacock has a mouthful of teeth which which he is grimacing?

    The embedded characters may no longer be physically accessible, given the most recent SNAP, but it would have been interesting for Cole and Phoebe to try to talk with them as they were trying to find a way out for themselves. However, with all the collapsing that was already happening in Eden, the embedded duo might have expired before Cole and Phoebe happened by. Plus, would they have had any unimpeded vocal mechanisms with which to communicate with, not to mention auditory ability with which to hear any questions directed to them.

    Aaron certainly presents disturbing visuals and concepts.
