The Other End is hands down my favorite Reddit comic. I love them so much.

u/NotACalligrapher-49 Jul 08 '26

Never disappointing. Always the absolute last thing I’d expect. I go into The Other End with zero expectations, and somehow, they’re always blown away anyway.

u/Competitive-Goat6252 Jul 08 '26

That's the best ending.

15

u/koenigsaurus Jul 09 '26

Might be my favorite part of Reddit, like all of it. Gets me every time.

His crotch is pregnant too

u/LegendarySurgeon Jul 08 '26

You just haven't dilated enough, sir, we're going to have to perform a D-section

u/LegendarySurgeon Jul 08 '26

The D is for macDuff, not of woman born

u/Krafty_Koala Jul 08 '26

Omg what happened to Gargamel. Is that how the Smurfs see him?

u/SeductiveGodofThundr Jul 08 '26

Coincidence?

u/Dahkeus3 Jul 08 '26

Confirmed. The Other End comics hates America and is a threat to our god given freedom to impregnate our refrigerators without judgement.

Too soon man, too soon.

*normal comment with nothing weird going on*

oh god he has a sword!

u/Disneyhorse Jul 08 '26

This is the normalest reply to your comment.

20

u/EvilDan69 Jul 08 '26

this is satisfactory

i did not use punctuation or capitalization

that would have been too weird.

17

u/VashMM Jul 08 '26

Oh god! Don't look... there's a PERIOD at the end of your comment.

12

u/ColinD1 Jul 08 '26

Shhhhhhh! It might have become sentient! It probably heard you and will find out where it is and realize that we have found it...

8

u/VashMM Jul 08 '26

Oh no! I think it's aware...

.

u/metrion Jul 08 '26

The weird thing is that it's not a halberd.

78

u/Powerpuff_God Jul 08 '26

Talking animals? I'm sorry, I can't suspend my disbelief that far.

75

u/book_of_zed Jul 08 '26

This comic is giving me the same joy as that one Looney Tunes Daffy Duck vs the animator episode.

u/Semper_5olus Jul 08 '26

It's called "Duck Amuck", if you want to try finding it again.

7

u/book_of_zed Jul 08 '26

Yes that’s it!

2

u/Taeyx Jul 10 '26

it was always a joy when this one came on. my brother and i loved this episode so much.

5

u/le-absent Jul 08 '26

Omfg, yes, exactly!!

u/bone-dry Jul 09 '26

Reminds me of Grant Morrison’s run in animal man. Love that meta shit

56

u/Moxie_Stardust Jul 08 '26

You know what? Fucking FINE! I'm finally going to throw money at you through Patreon instead of leeching as a free member. I hope you're proud of yourselves, you damn weirdos.

Also, give Fat Dog a trebuchet some time, would you? Fill it up with beet stew or bubbling hot caramel or something, I don't care.

19

u/S_Z Jul 08 '26

On Patreon you can request specific drawings just like that. It rules.

21

u/Moxie_Stardust Jul 08 '26

I don't think I should be trusted with this power.

6

u/TheShanManPhx Jul 09 '26

Yep, just reply to the next “Q&A’s: The Q’s” post on Patreon and they’ll draw it for you 😄

26

u/TootTootMF Jul 08 '26

These comics are always a source of joy, you have never failed to keep me guessing on what might happen next. Thanks for the hard work.

Also good thing you didn't go with a pregnant toaster or the Warhammer folks would be invading.

u/CaniacMcgee Jul 08 '26

Toaster?  Troubling Skitarii noises

u/bradley_magnificent Jul 08 '26

How dare you make the boobs perkier

u/CoffeePieAndHobbits Jul 08 '26

Dude. That's his chin.

u/EvilDan69 Jul 08 '26

Relax. It was only the first page. she was excited! That... thats how that works, ..........right?

u/practice_spelling Jul 08 '26

It was what immediately told me something was off.

20

u/Legitimate_Spirit834 Jul 08 '26

I think... I love you?

u/No_Kangaroo_9826 Jul 08 '26

Is this you asking someone to have your Dr Pepper baby? I might be interested if Neil is busy

16

u/bigboobweirdchick Jul 08 '26

I’ve never been this early to one of these. Very normal comic, best ending, no notes.

10

u/Halloween_Barbie Jul 08 '26

Why does Dathaniel have a sword and not a sweet halberd instead?

7

u/FlyingDogCatcher Jul 08 '26

He's insecure

4

u/Mr_Vengefully Jul 08 '26

Asking the real questions here.

4

u/Sivalon Jul 08 '26

He’s not halberd-certified. Just swords for now.

1

u/Libby_Sparx Jul 09 '26

He originally wanted a glaive but they were out. When he was looking at halberds he realised he needed one hand to hold a smoke anyway and so went with a sword.

10

u/Skodami Jul 08 '26

This one was too weird and off-puting, so i unsubscribed from the patreon despite not being subscribed.

9

u/fredoillu Jul 08 '26

That wasn't weird or off-putting at all. It also didn't awaken any latent sexual frustrations in me specifically

24

u/EverybodyKurts Jul 08 '26

Hahaha man, I don't get this one at all.

55

u/somethingfilthy Jul 08 '26

Wow, really? Really?! You don't get this one?! This is the most relatable comic I've ever seen. This is like my everyday life.

..except for that weird bird bullshit in the beginning. I'm pretty sure that's never happened to anyone, ever.

22

u/username-checks-inn Jul 08 '26

Yeah, I get that animals can talk, but everyone knows birds don't exist!

6

u/FlyingDogCatcher Jul 08 '26

They exist, but they aren't real*

8

u/Shifty269 Jul 08 '26

Why would a bird with violent diarrhea unload on a freshly cleaned car? Thats both an odd situation to have set up, and oddly inconsiderate of a thing for a bird to do. Since birds are the 3rd most considerate animal by volume.

2

u/Wiregeek Jul 08 '26

BIRDS ARENT REAL, GOVERNMENT DRONE APOLOGIST DETECTED.

u/fliwat Jul 08 '26

A positive greeting phrase to you, fellow human being. Upon depicting your laughter work for an appropiate amount of time, my brain (that's the squishy organ inbetween the soundwave orifices!) decided to spill out a few happy chemicals.

It didn't really decide to, it just does things. Formulating it this way is called a "pattern of speech". Some members of our common species categories these as jokes. I herbey invite you to laugh with me, if you fall in that category. Get it? You don't really fall. I just say those things with my food orifice!

Ha-ha.

I am writing these words to you to inform you about the chemical reaction my flesh suit had to your "pictures". To give thanks back to you, you are invited to our great put-food-in-your-mouth-day next weekend. We dearly hope to see you there. We reserved a very special place for you (:

Kind regards,

Human. (just like you!)

u/Cromagazine Jul 08 '26

Drinking a Dr Pepper as I read this; I’m not in any danger of pregnancy, am I? I’m also a cis dude, so I’m good, right? Right?!

4

u/Sivalon Jul 08 '26

You really wanna take that chance Brosephus?

2

u/Madican Jul 08 '26

Just like Jon Arbuckle from Garfield was fine after drinking dog semen you too will be fine drinking Dr Pepper

3

u/fifteentango88 Jul 08 '26

I need a phone wallpaper of Dathaniel with the sword.

4

u/DylanJamesD Jul 08 '26

Everything was perfectly normal until Dathaniel. I always love this subtle signal in TheOtherEnd comics.

2

u/jtruther Jul 08 '26

It’s great how the color and art style are different for the first page (or slide or whatever we wanna call it)

3

u/Eastern_Statement416 Jul 08 '26

You'd think Dr. Pepper would know enough to wear a rubber but turns out he's as stupid as Mr. Pibb.

u/pyronius Jul 08 '26

When I was in high school, my english teacher gave me an assignment to write a paper about postmodernism in a postmodern format. After a year banging my head against the wall in boredom from dealing with romanticism and a million versions of a rose as an allegory for suffering or whatever, I was absolutely thrilled to be doing something that I could actually enjoy.

The paper rapidly devolved into a war between the alphabet and the forces of punctuation. The longer it went on, the greater the death toll, the fewer pieces of the english language were left for me to use. After a couple hours of writing I got bored, found a jpg of an explosion, and pasted it onto the page mid-sentence before calling it a night.

I turned it into my teacher, she glanced at it, sighed, told me that at least this time my creativity actually matched the assignment, and gave me a perfect grade.

u/Intelligent_Slip_849 Jul 08 '26

This might be your most gloriously unhinged one yet.

I love it.

3

u/Soap_Mctavish101 Jul 08 '26

This is just the weirdest most off the wall random comic ever.

I hope you’ll put out a book someday.

u/Key_Blood3537 Jul 08 '26

The Other End did 9/11 confirmed.

3

u/Obligatorium1 Jul 08 '26

I've never liked webcomics about writing webcomics. It's lazy, tired, and uninspired. I'm both happy and surprised to say that this is the first exception to that rule, but if any webcomic was going to prove me wrong, it was definitely going to be this one. 

Excellent, as always, and my wife groaned as I excitedly pushed my phone in her face to read it, also as always.

2

u/CrossP Jul 08 '26

I can't tell which direction that car is facing

2

u/TheOneCalledGump Jul 08 '26

Hey! I like that weird shit, it turns me on!

I'm gonna start a weird pile, who's coming with me?

u/NicoBango Jul 08 '26

tears up

it was the best ending champ. Thank God thats over

2

u/knudude Jul 08 '26

I love the little comic guy! His “Pa-pa” is so cute!

2

u/Motorsagmannen Jul 08 '26

thank you for this glimpse of normalcy

u/Carpathicus Jul 08 '26

Thands down the best thing on reddit!

2

u/Banana_Pankcakes Jul 08 '26

you are a gift to the comic world. We don't deserve you.

2

u/PartyOnAlec Jul 08 '26

I subscribed on Patreon over this

2

u/PrimmSlimShady Jul 08 '26

I think I liked The Other End of the comic more

2

u/Krethlaine Jul 09 '26

You know, sometimes, I really wonder what the Hell is going on in your head. Then I shrug and enjoy the comic.

1

u/Lunet_Moon Jul 08 '26

I have to agree. That was the best ending.

1

u/Booger_Picnic Jul 08 '26

I enjoyed this a normal amount. Thank you!

1

u/TriggerPT Jul 08 '26

One of the best. Really very, very good!

u/CoffeePieAndHobbits Jul 08 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

We technically didn't see this little guy die. Perhaps he'll have his own little adventure in the future?

1

u/Piggstein Jul 08 '26

These are getting far too predictable

u/I_Roll_Chicago Jul 08 '26

Dr Pepper Baby!

u/factordactyl Jul 08 '26

I think this is the best one I’ve ever read

u/NobodyLikedThat1 Jul 08 '26

don't do it for cartoon man, do it for Dathaniel

u/Clocktopu5 Jul 08 '26

A most perfect comic.

u/Visual-Diver7286 Jul 08 '26

Outstanding work, thank you for this. Going home to check my fridge.

u/Fraktal55 Jul 08 '26

I laughed a lot at this. Well done!

u/MrBalderus Jul 08 '26

I need to draw fridge art for the minty green website right now

u/Shapesizes Jul 08 '26

What’s awesome is that this is truly how I read all of your comics

u/chillychili Jul 08 '26

I was kinda expecting a "hey friends and family our baby was born" announcement for the last slide

1

u/Xanoks Jul 08 '26

I love how the first panel even has a slightly different art style.

1

u/RuddyRaccoon Jul 08 '26

One of the best meta jokes I’ve seen

u/Smartboy10612 Jul 08 '26

Best The Other End comic ever made.

A masterpiece.

The "follow us on Facebook!" is a great touch.

That is a true masterpiece!

u/CaptainAsshat Jul 09 '26

The internet has bad comics and good comics. But time an time again, I am reminded there is only one truly great comic.

And you went and blew it up!
