What happened to “Dirty?”  Been knocked about by the buffalo… I think we have established, by now, the author’s ability to draw the Cape Buffalo in all its various angles…  Well done, James Allen, but it’s time to move this story along.  Enough single panel episodes that leave one feeling trapped in a bad dream…  And is part of surviving a stampede staying hunched over and low to the ground?  Must be, since that’s what Mark is doing!

The animal to Mark’s left seems to be regarding him with a certain amount of wariness and disdain. Note the sideways glance… The Cape Buffalo Stink-eye, as it were…  looks like Mark has (not surprisingly) his own place within the herd where the animals give him free reign…
