I really have to wonder what the motivation for this whole story arc is. Okay, Mark plays the “renegade reporter” on the run from agents trying to stop him from getting The Truth out to the American Public. Fine, we get the symbolism. But it isn’t exactly “The Pentagon Papers.”

This sort of conspiratorial humbuggery is not new and is still popular in political and social circles. Yet, it just doesn’t seem to fit Mark’s profile. So why is he putting himself out in the Public Eye like this?

If Mark wanted to impress lots of people that what he has to say is worth breaking the law for, he probably should have spent a few minutes up front letting people know who he is (other than his name), what is background is, and how he came to these conclusions.

Instead, through the miracle of comic strip technology, out of all the people viewing Mark, only one person has managed to somehow inject himself into Mark’s live stream. This should work out well.
