Once they set up the rabbit ears and Rusty stands behind the set on one leg and points to the chicken coop for better reception, we'll know better.

[Dr. Medulla]

The essence of conservation, as we all know, is about manners and showing up on time. So this rule makes sense.

edit: The time between panels 1 and 3 is, like, 5 seconds. Seemingly Cherry teleported from a good ten feet away to sitting on the arm of the couch—cushions are for men, dammit!—beside Mark. Is Cherry an alien of some kind?

[revbob]

So this is where we're heading.

"Mark and his friends..." consisting of Doc and Cherry.

[Dr. Medulla]

So this is where we're heading.

I'm worried. The strip isn't supposed to be hip and relatable.

edit: A thought: Is Mark going to become a Harvey Camel social media obsessive?

So this is where we're heading.

So I think panel 3 is a setup for a way for Mark to get a little extra money so he can make and promote the nature videos he loves so much. Cherry's gonna pimp him out to the middle aged ladies whose husbands are all out playing golf.

Well that was a cliffhanger.

Why does Bill Magazine Guy wear green tinted glasses?

[Dr. Medulla]

Well that was a cliffhanger.

Why does Bill Magazine Guy wear green tinted glasses?

Yeah the fix was in Big Wildlife has put a lot of money into this Mark Trail. He'd do well not to step out of line again.

He looks like a really bad magician from the 1950's: "Look into my eeeyyyeeesss, look into my eeeyyyeeesss..."

It feels like while they tried to update Mark for "modern times" they thought modern times was 1998.
