That’s right, kiddos. The Wife and I are driving north Friday morning for a family get-together and general hoo-rah for the weekend. We’ll return later Monday. So, I hope to post my normal BS about Friday’s strip in the Saturday blog. Just so, it is possible that I won’t get to the Monday strip until Tuesday.

Anyway, I hope this won’t cause you too much consternation. We shall return! Some of you may recall that there used to be several blogs that focused exclusively or at least regularly on Mark Trail, but almost all folded, long before Jules Rivera came on board. Comics Curmudgeon and Joseph Nebus’s blogs still infrequently report on the current strip, so I’m afraid you are not left with a lot of options. In the meantime, you can view and/or post about Mark Trail on the Comic Kingdom website, though it obviously lacks the hard-hitting, insightful, and in-depth analysis provided by this site. Okay, I paid myself to say that.
