As we get to now re-live the story, first spoken aloud by Bill Ellis to himself, now spoken to Mark Trail complete with his pithy reactions, we must ask the question, Why would you need anyone’s permission to do a movie about Human Trafficking?
It’s not like the publisher of Woods and Wildlife magazine would suddenly wake up and say, “Hey, that’s our story!!” But I suppose that this allows for a new chapter in the Mark Trail Story- Mark as expert… Oh wait, he plays that all the time…
But who is the lead? Is it the Mark Trail/ Nature Writer character or the Chubby Academic? I recall that there was a bit of a siren involved- Carina! Prof Gabe’s erstwhile assistant… Who got less handsome and more siren-like as the story unfolded…
The Daily Trail 
Well…..This is pretty much what we guessed.

Thanks for the scoop! Can’t say I am surprised (or sad even…) That tweet showed amazingly poor and unprofessional form…
What tweet?
Dang! Allen has quit the strip?! I have to admit, in spite of all of my snarky remarks, I do appreciate his allegiance to the strip and carrying on the once-great tradition of adventure comic strips. And this is one of the very last ones.
I looked up Allen’s personal Facebook account and discovered that one of his (probably personal) friends is actually named Chris “Dirty” Dyer!
