“…but what if this is like the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark?”
Dennis, get a grip, man! You’ll be okay. Sure, this story arc has been going on since March. Sure, the current supporting cast are hardly more than bit actors in B-movies from the 1950s. Sure, the premise of this entire story line is based on a ludicrous premise. But I think the end of this episode of Death Valley Days is in sight. (And remember, this is ONLY a comic strip!)
See that small light at the end of that tunnel? 🙂
