Hmmm, are they outside of the cabin or inside? I ask because Mark still has his jacket on, not that we know what season this takes place in. Maybe they just like to keep a cool cabin.
Now remember, dear readers, this is (supposed to be) Rusty’s adventure, so don’t expect the usual nail-biting suspense and drama of one of Mark’s stories, though that could happen. But it won’t. Anyway, Mark usually ingratiates himself into Rusty’s adventures, even if Rusty is naïve enough to sometimes invite him in on his own, as he does here. Poor Rusty.
Okay, will Daddy Trail wisely counsel Rust on the dangers of seeking revenge or will he simply say “Sounds great! Where do we begin?”
Art Dept. Now isn’t that a great image of Rusty in panel 4? I’m serious. Strongly defined expression, good facial proportions, and even decent lines. The green color is an effective background, along with those “emotion rays” (for wont of a better name) shooting out from behind Rusty, a motif frequently used by Rivera, but going back to Japanese anime at least as old as the Samurai Pizza Cats of the early 1990s.
