Endtown 2017-05-19

So Jacob is the one being honest, for a change. What a joke.

I guess Dottie isn't the only crooked reporter in Endtown.

>>92514778

>The examiner is Literally fake news

Well, no shit..

>>92514778
This is certainly taking an interesting turn.

Also, anyone knows why as of recently endtown no longer updates in early in the morning?

>>92514778
>Jacob fears false rumors about food shortage will undermine people's faith in their community
And race wars won't?

>>92515076
Given how they had a racewar against the rats a while back and still hang together, I'd say no?

>>92514871
Dottie isn't really crooked, but she only report on what she see.

>>92515140

Dottie means well, but she's just terribly naive.

>>92515105
Rats were a part of the old and faulty system people grew to hate. It was so full of holes that Jacob could take over, which is an evidence in itself he was right to bash it, even if he's an asshole who deserves a stabbing. After the trial, everyone hated the old rules of government.

This is people turning against themselves. It is much worse than a shift in power.

Velda's cute, but she will backstab you the first chance she gets...

Marx teleported it all to some other dimension. For the greater good, of course.

>>92515049
Aaron is sick.

>>92515548
Oh shit, again? Is it his leg?

>>92515611

Not that Anon, but Aaron got a fever last month...

>Well, I went down to the ER yesterday morning and some blood tests were done. They came up negative (white blood cell count was normal) so if it's an infection, it's a low-grade one. They sent me home with a prescription for antibiotics that I'm supposed to take if the leg begins to turn dark or swell. Hopefully this just subsides over time so I can keep the antibiotics on hand as an emergency measure. Meanwhile, I'm still getting fevers and cold chills each night. It's definitely slowing me down.. I'm seeing some signs of it subsiding, though..

I don't know if he's recovered yet. He's also dealing with Selina's teeth, extractions and surgeries.. he's really on a tight schedule.

>>92515216
>that race war was OK
>but this race war isn't!
I get what you are saying, but a race war is a race war. If trying to exterminate all rats didn't lead to every single rat leaving, I doubt the brouhaha between wolves and pigs will do much.

>>92515750
Seriously, what the fuck is up with his leg? And after years of trouble, as I keep reading he's constantly getting sick, on the verge of dead a couple of times, for his leg, well, has he considered just being done with it and amputating?

I mean, I know it's way too fucking extreme, but Jesus Christ a limb should not bring you this kind of suffering! And it seems, at least to me, that without it his health problems would end, at least of course it's something beyond said leg.

>>92515864
>has he considered just being done with it and amputating?

You'd be surprised...

>>92515216
You're forgetting a key detail: the system worked, Marx sabotaged it so Jacob could take over.

>>92515864
Long story short, his doctors fucked up with the treatment (for a YEAR!) and his whole immune system is not so good now, the leg is just the most apparent problem.

>>92515216
It wasnt full of holes, it had its own flaws yes, but marx literally had to magic bs his way in just to get jacob in, i wouldnt call that "full of holes"

>>92514778
Whatta twist

So the newspapers are convincing the public that there's a food shortage, and there's likely another force stemming the flow of food from the stockpile to the rest of Endtown. Either the wolves are behind the ruse, or some other force is.

>>92516948
>So the newspapers are convincing the public that there's a food shortage

Wolf bitch was convinced it was the case, it seems to be working.

>>92514778
Is something interesting finally happening?

>>92517635
no, not yet

>>92517635
It looks like it's building. House of cards sort of thing, like the slow crawl until Unity exploded

>>92518289
Yeah but it was fairly entertaining all the way there.

>>92518550
Only once Jim started freaking out.
I know a lot of people in these threads got on board around then; going update by update before the freak-out wasn't any better than this is.

Shits moving, that's more than enough for now

This is nice to see. Hopefully he had a good reason besides waging war with the Topsiders to kill off Allgood and topple what was the "council"
>>92515268
This is probably what happened. But I'll also guess it's Velda spreading rumors or Mallard who actually calculated how much food they would have after "Generation Bean"

Jacob's such an awesome character, good to see him back at last!

>>92515956

lord almighty is this the fate of one who consorts with beasts? man I hope he gets better, it would be a shame to lose one of the better ones.

>>92518716
I don't think it's Jacob not being a dick.
I think he's angry about the situation solely because it puts his power base in danger. You can see he doesn't give a shit about the rioting or anything - only the food.

>>92518854
>I think he's angry about the situation solely because it puts his power base in danger.
That could be, but I get the impression from his face in the final panel that he is genuinely convinced that there is 6 years worth of food. That and the articles are unverified and by an anonymous source.

>>92520831
Not really. Racial tensions and political strife aren't exactly new problems, mate.

>>92520831
I don't think it's political commentary, but reality makes for some great inspiration.

Did /trash/ kill the Endtown threads?
Feel like all the waifufags left for where they could ship characters in peace.

>>92522744
I've just been bored by the story so far

>>92518854
>You can see he doesn't give a shit about the rioting or anything - only the food.
The rioting is an indirect result of the allegedly false reports about the food shortage.

>>92515832
They weren't fighting the rats because they were rats, but because they shot civilians. They could have been cows or beavers and it woud not change a thing.

Here we have wolves and pigs being targeted BECAUSE they are wolves and pigs.

In a terms an American can understand: it's like shooting a guy because he has a gun and is aiming it at you vs shooting a guy because he has a different skin color and looks funny at you.

>>92515864
>>92515956
American healthcare, everyone. How everyone in the western world BUT the richest and the most powerful country in the world can get it right is mind boggling.

It would certainly be an interesting twist if Jackrabbit had nothing to do with the missing porkers.

Savage. But yeah, what's with these people?

Well, I mean, I'm pretty sure he already had the outline for the story, but some of the dialogue seems like too much of a reference to current politics that it seems hard to believe it could just be a coincidence.
Maybe politics these days are just too surreal.

Never visited the /trash/ thread because I was never looking for porn.
Someone recently linked to the /trash/ thread in a Poppy thread and I was surprised to see a fairly healthy amount of actual discussion and not the giant porn dump I expected.
My first guess was that the Endtown threads saw a drop in activity at the end of the HollyxWally story partially because it happened around the time /trash/ started picking up steam and a lot of the people losing their shit over Holly/Kirbee went there after being told off for derailing these threads so often.

It was just a bit of a guess though, thought I'd ask for clarification. If nothing else, the thread is definitely being split up between the two boards which isn't helping anyone.

>>92524791
>Maybe politics these days are just too surreal.
An egotistical politician scoffing at an over exaggerated news story seems pretty convenient, but it seems like a combination of elements that have already been brewing. Jacob has always been cocky, however Dottie's heal-turn seems like plot convenience.

>>92524943
Basically, you're very fucking wrong. /trash/ is where all the good discission went on while the /co/ thread became all sorts of shit. After the last chapter both threads have been on life support. The only thing bad about the /trash/ thread is that it's where KC's haters took nest for a while, bashing both him and Aaron. They've mostly kept quiet now that everyone made it clear they are as welcome as KC.

Don't make assumptions, just stop being a pussy and find out. Seeing something nasty in your screen isn't going to kill you.

>>92525081
>They've mostly kept quiet now

oh please, you can't make a /trash/ thread without bringing up Aaron's divorce and last Arc's ending.

>>92525065
Yeah, apart from wasting 2-3 weeks worth of strips on why Walt and Portia were meant for each other, this story's biggest issue is that Dottie's been running around making an ass out of herself this whole time, largely by jumping to conclusions and acting abrasively.

I mean, shit, there were other people at the riot. Did *nobody* make a statement to any reporter afterwards that the wolves started this whole mess by assaulting a policeman and then hurling him at the *other* policemen who showed up? I'm assuming the cops didn't give their side of the story as they were buys kicking everybody's ass at the time, but no police statements issued later? No corroborations?

The wolves have alot to answer for, even if they are 100% reactionary and not actually eating anybody.

>>92525172
The former comes with the later and we can't avoid discussing it because it's a BIG thing in the comic.

Exposing Aaron's love life sure was nasty but now that we know how much it affected the comic it's hard to ignore it.

Waiting for the moment they check the stockpile and a tumbleweed rolls by.

>>92514778
So they've got six years full of OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED THE JOKE THAT EVERYONE IN ENDTOWN IS FULL OF BEANS.

>>92525512
>now that we know how much it affected the comic

I find it funny how you all treat this as "Fact".

>>92525773
A sympathetic character became unsympathetic at the same time as the divorce. A side character got closer to Wally as something similar was going on with Aaron.

This is the part where you screech that correlation isn't causation and it was all a coincidence.

I just started reading this wild ride yesterday night.

I just got to the end of losing Holly and the ship full of dittos.

>We're sorry, too many people are accessing this website at the same time. We're working on this problem. Please try again later.

Came to /co/ to find a new strip is out.

Get the fuck off the actual site so I can keep getting angrier at cartoon animals!

Even after the end of the world, fake news rears its ugly head.

Now the important question - who is trying to start a panic and why?

>>92525081
>Don't make assumptions, just stop being a pussy and find out. Seeing something nasty in your screen isn't going to kill you.
I wasn't afraid of the porn thread, I just figured it'd be faster to bring it up here than lurk there for a couple weeks waiting for enough new comics to spark the discussion I was curious about.

>>92526620
>He's literally slowly dying the entire time he makes it

anon, we've all been slowly dying for years, ever since we were born

>>92526816
Pigs. They actually are in hiding and trying to put blame for their disappearance on the wolves to get rid of them. Possibly for bigger rations or because they take their animal sides very seriously and want to remove their natural enemies. Same reason why Al got beaten few years back. Or perhaps what you become after the mutation truly has some base in your psyche or in how others see you and when still human pigs were, well, greedy like pigs.

>>92514778
Wasn't it established, that the food crisis had been solved through gross but sufficing artificial food like in the first 5% of pages?

>>92526929
This is a common misconception. Actually, you only get better, stronger and more efficient till you hit 20+ years of age. Only THEN your cells start to slow down and in a few years they start degrading in quality.

So we are all slowly dying, but only after we pass ~23 mark. Our ancestors rarely got older than 40. Almost 60% of all people in history of humanity who ever were older than 65 are alive TODAY.

>>92527630
Mallard was still working on his faux food when it was first mentioned and it never came up again.
