I can appreciate Bill's confusion at the end. How are inanimate objects communicating in human language? And where did that giant squirrel find the giant nut? Who cares about this stupid award, the world has gone mad!
Mark's not goong to the awards ceremony? This will be a scandal that rocks the very foundation of the wildlife magazine community and could ultimately lead to a Kelly Welly expose on Mark's harboring of a nazi war criminal Doc the Butcher Davis known for animal experimentation. Doctor Davis was in charge of the little known nazi huge animal experiments. He had plans to create an army of giant squirrels (that while seemingly cute and innocent looking) could wipe out the crops in the allied nations in a matter of days.

Or Andy will pull thru and Mark will go and collects his award and everyone will praise him as the Fitzgerald of nature writing. The end. *sigh*

He's wondering whether Harvey Camel is actually dead.

I look forward to the day Dr Camel and his yeti companion (who nursed him back to health) go to Lost Forest to exact revenge.

I feel like Bill is a major jerk. Why can't he just understand that Mark is in a really bad place right now? Can't he go and accept the major award on Mark's behalf? Is the owner of the woods going to be so upset that he sells everything off to the next logging company that comes knocking? Also, what's with the phrase "the owner of the woods and wildlife will be there to congratulate you personally"? Does the guy own the woods and THE wildlife? Or is Bill saying the owner of the woods AND wildlife, as in there will be a special seating section for squirrels and deer and raccoons (but not those darned wild dogs)?

Love the dumb powerplay the boss is making. This isn't about some dumbass award that nobody cares about—it's not a Grammy for best kid's album, you know!—it's about cracking the whip to make sure Mark knows who's in charge. The moment employees start thinking of themselves as anything but company property, that's when the Soviet tanks start rolling thru Omaha. So it's your stupid dog, Mark, or it's Russian ballet dancers ruling Dallas.

Yeah Mark should go work for Wildlife and Woods, or Brooks and Valleys.

Mark is still confused why his submissions of the striped Eurasian beaver keep being rejected. Cherry has offered to help but Mark always laughs it off. "Oh Cherry what do you know about hunting for beaver? Hey are the pancakes ready yet?"

Cherry to herself...if you you ever came to any of Sue's "book club" meetings youd see how much I know.

I read Panel 3 in Charlie Brown's "I got a rock" voice and started laughing. Anyway, thanks a lot, you stupid cat for showing up and starting the chain of events that leads to Mark losing his job and eventually going on a killing spree.

Is Cherry laughing in the background in panel 2?

I think she's turned on by Mark's display of fortitude, but by Panel 3 whatever feelings might have stirred are clearly shut down by Mark's whining.

Also, Mark and the shady magazine guy have the same model of generic corded black phone.
