I have often wondered about the ‘h’ that often goes into the name ‘John.’  If we don’t see the ‘h’ are we supposed to assume, what? That his given name is Jonathon?  Can we call Jonathon ‘Jack?’  Or just if the given name is John with the ‘h?’ But I certainly digress, and how could I with the Senator’s pretty daughter filling up panel two with her perfect white teeth, blonde hair and well- applied lipstick…

Mark certainly is demonstrating his right index finger targeting skills with the push of the doorbell button.  Lake house, huh?  Doesn’t fit.  Most “Lake houses” I know either have the door already open or a door knocker… but certainly not a door BELL…  And now Mark is in an olive-taupe ensemble, suitable for the North Woods, assuming that’s where the lake is.  Certainly the Senator is a nature lover himself, and certainly Mark will now have the chance to talk some sense into him about the development of the Lost Forest “Preserve.”

And Mark, I mean, why WOULD ANYONE MIND that you are stopping in, unannounced?  At least you admit to being the obnoxious boor that you are…
