You probably started reading Endtown when it was on the Modern Tales website. That’s where it was before it was picked up by GoComics. When Endtown appeared in GoComics, it had already been running a few years on Modern Tales. When the strips started on GoComics, they started with the first one.

When we left Endtown (09/14/2018) the Pork Conspiracy had been uncovered, there was major rioting with Wolf anthros becoming major villains in the public eye, and along the way, the Rats gave Jacob a hint of their actual authority. (04/05/2018) I wonder how far events in Endtown have progressed since then.
I see a Christmas celebration, apparently in a bar. So Endtown isn’t under some kind of lockdown. A possible mugging has happened, with a wolf as apparent perpetrator. But…instead of Endtown cops (Grout and his department) chasing the crook, we have the Security Rats. That…cannot be a good sign. At least they aren’t shooting at him yet.
I think that link went to the “Endtown Underground” which was a discussion group, and was not managed by Mr. Neathery. I’m not sure, since I only stopped by once or twice. There might be others on here who can verify (or not). I’m sure that there are more stories to come after this arc has ended.
There were 41 people (06/02/2024). 36 of them were moved there by the Marx family. 5 of them—Wally, Duffy, Terrance, Cole and Phoebe—were not. Terrance, Cole and Phoebe are on a boat. Wally and Duffy stayed behind, along with some of those “preserved” by the Marx family, to distract pursuit. I hope this means these boats get away safely. I really hope we do not see Duffy appear in front of Marx at the Crossroads—even if there’s a chance he’d be reunited with his brother Bennie. I don’t want to see Wally turn up there, either. Maybe if we move off into another adventure, Wally and Duffy will make it through somehow, make it to a boat, and catch up to Kirbee. But, it doesn’t look good.
This model cannot fly. This is the version that has appeared most often. However, according to Jim (or Sarah-it’s hard to tell when they’re in the biosuits), some of the mutts have had weapons added and been turned into flying drones. Or, as they said of the drones, “They’re just MUTTS.. Huge, flying, armed to the teeth MUTTS…” (02/13/2014)
Sure! I probably should have done that at first. Capt. Philomena Flask first appears in the strip of 09/16/2010. The first “hint” that I notice is on 9/29/2010 , where Prof. Mallard indicates the Endtown High Council tells Flask “about as badly as they’ll view YOU once I tell them the truth about you” The strip never really is about Flask, but the events along the way demonstrate results from her backstory. For instance; when she discovers Al and Gustine’s pal P.T. (Petey) and her reaction to the control unit. Not giving a date for that. It’s a good story, and I encourage folks to read it.
Since I mentioned Flask: It is worth the time to go back to read the early strips and follow her life. All along, there were subtle hints dropped about where she’d come from, and what motivated her, until the time she told her own story. Interesting character.
For those that are asking; that’s a “zero scalpel”. They’ve made appearances throughout the strip. Flask caused a lot of damage with one a while ago. It’s what Terrance was going to use to cut Alan’s hand off (the one that was stuck in the wall). strip on: 08/31/2023
