Sometime the lack of continuity is simply irritating…
Yesterday we ended with a panel showing Raul with a shit-eating-grin, and today we start off with a panicked look, with Raul on the “phone” with “Jose” who, wonder of wonders, is awake:
Never mind (again) that the two communications platforms hail from different eras, that it’s quite unlikely that a cell phone can “talk” to a CB/Shortwave/HAM radio… And never mind that the center panel is plucked, pixel for pixel, stroke for stroke, from a previous strip (I think we call that <fair> re-use…) I am left to wonder again when the syndicate is going to yank the plug on this brain-dead future corpse of a “feature” strip.
Ah, Dennis, we feel your pain. But if “Mark Trail” hit the trail and left the comic strip world, where would you and the rest of us find a suitable continuity strip replacement: “Judge Parker”? “Rex Morgan, MD”? “Mary Worth”? “For What It’s Worth”? “Luann”?
