Word choice is ever so important… rather than say, “Bill suggested I charter a helicopter,” or “Bill suggested I find a chopper, complete with a licensed and insured pilot flying it, to take me (not us, mind you) to the island,” Mark shares with his Darling Cherry that “Bill suggested I get a (an?) helicopter…” Which of course elicits the gob-smacked stare from Cherry in panel 3…

But let’s turn our attention back to the first panel, where Cherry’s work with the Total Gym® is on full display! Look at that core! Look at how trim her arms are! It’s almost creepy! Almost makes me pine for her LL Bean lady’s chamois-cloth shirt and dungarees!
Isn’t Mark in the second panel essentially identical to the Mark in the prior day’s first panel, sans phone? Reuse and recycle.

I wonder that Mark hasn’t asked who Cherry’s personal trainer is. It certainly isn’t Mark, as he’s never around long enough.

I think James Allen is preparing for his future with Young Lust comics, as we know his tenure with this strip looks grim.
