The Mark Trail Thread of Punching Justice and Smug Life Lessons

[Dr. Medulla]

Mr. Trailachev, tear down this fence!

[Dr. Medulla]

Well, that was resolved rather easily.

Yeah much ado about nothing.

So is this where the federal marshals come in and take Mark away?

The best way out is that now Mark wakes up from his toad-licking OD.

If this actually leads to Rusty becoming a semi-feral sadistic brute, I'm all in.

No probably just an awkward segue to Cherry's dysfunctional family story.

This strip doesn't do segues anymore. It's all razz-a-ma-tazz jumping all over the place. One moment, Mark is sending a man into shark-filled waters, next he's at the pool while Cherry's fleecing the casino with her card-counting skills!

So the old man who has appeared as the original Mark is now also the original Rusty?

I think it means Mark Sr. is going to seek to train Rusty to be his unholy apprentice, fulfilling prophecy by bringing about Satan's reign on earth.

Thats a storyline I can get behind.

Instead you know it's going to be more random dysfunctional family soap opera, like Mark Sr being abused by foster parents.

Way to get my hopes so high only to dash them to the ground.

That's the whole premise of Nu Trail—the hint of something good, then smashed by dumb soap opera.

So I think Doc is the first person I know to have used this term. Is she trolling us?

While I'm pleased for punching justice and all, it was only a couple days ago that source and clone were making up and taking down fences. Is everybody in this strip running on random? I look forward to tomorrow's strip where Cherry's sister just shows up with lemonade for everyone.
