You are not in charge here any more, this is not your domain.  It’s still a wonder why you are engaging in the kind of getaway that doesn’t get you away, and you’ll have to live with the consequences of that decision…

But wait- is that a Prairie Dog in panel two?  Ah… so what…

Gang, I gotta be honest here… this is just becoming a chore.  And if it ain’t fun, then why do it?  It’s been a decent ride these last few years, but these postings will start becoming a little more dispersed, like when something really happens or the muse strikes…

…they were referring to Johnny and not Jimmy!  You’d think that with the pace this story is going I would be able to keep up with the conversation…  So now that we have that sorted out…

Yea, you can always shoot the girl, if that’s what you really want to do anyway, and if you think that would help…  I remind us, tough, that Baldy is thoroughly outnumbered and Mark and Johnny could probably have him lassoed and hog-tied before  you could say Mark Trail…

And we’re back…  hoping that another installment might shed some light on where this is all going.  Yeah.  Right.

When we last heard from Jimmy and Sarita, they were hemming and hawing over what they should be doing, but agreeing that staying put was their best option…

Meanwhile Baldy isn’t “liking” the fact that there is a “gap” building between him and Jimmy.  Again, I say, if he is an expert in “getting away” he really doesn’t understand the first thing about it!  He is collecting witnesses at a rate that would make a Kardashian blush…

With more non-sequitur comments and inane plot devices piling up, we are left to wonder whether Jimmy owns a truck, or if they took all the horses, or what the hell he means by his comments today…

Besides, who asked you to go after them, Jimmy?  I thought you were waiting for the Sheriff to arrive?  And ask if you can borrow his cell phone.  Whatever.

I was about to blow off today’s installment, given that it’s another do-nothing, go-nowhere piece, but then I noticed the little mountain lion cub getting all frisky in the lower right, lashing out and the “JAMES ALLEN” Orb.  Something I think we all would like to do…

And it’s now clear that Jimmy and Sarita need to join the 21st Century (Hell, Mark has…) and get themselves a cell phone…  and that the lines went out in South Dakota, not necessarily Lost Forest.  One has to also wonder how Cherry’s conversation with the FBI went!
