May I pedantically point out that our hero's wings ''do'' have ends... Each has one end at least at its wingtip, even if it appears they are both unlimited in the distance from that wingtip to the unknown attachment to his back (and that attachment, or feed mechanism, hides a potentially unlimited amount of wing by unknown means, leaving them without another end). A "hoop" of wing (or arbitrary size, and not necessarily excessively so) would be endless... I've made paper planes with that sort of idea behind their 'wing' surface, and there's at least one 'perpendicular frisbee-like' thing out there in the toy shops. (Mobius wings could also be imagined, often being thought of as more "endless" than a simple non-mobius belt, but I'm sure they'd actually be worse at flight.) | May I pedantically point out that our hero's wings ''do'' have ends...

But that's at best merely a ''related'' bit of observational/absurdist comedy, and not really relevent to the given comic.

Note how the girl on the right, presumably Megan, does not start screaming until the wings start increasing in size... | Note how the girl on the right, presumably Megan, does not start screaming until the wings start increasing in size... | ||
