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.
The Daily Trail 
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”?
