Per Downpuppy’s wish, Mr. N. Box has at least taken a break today. We can also be thankful that Rivera saved us from the 2 or 3 panels that would have been dedicated to getting Squirrelly Sandy’s name from Honest Ernest. So we happily move on.
Or we don’t. Instead, we have some meaningless gabbing about weirdo this and that, with Cherry getting defensive. That is to say, some relatively trivial dialog takes place, while Cherry harkens back to the bear she used to play with when Mark first met her and Doc in the original strip. She has certainly had better luck with bears than Mark, who doesn’t get much respect from them. But at least I get my wish as Rivera introduces us to a new character in Cherry’s Lost Forest community.

Thanks for the retro panel. I would love to see how Jules would draw the same scene, especially Cherry running in a bathing suit. I love Mark rescuing with the big stick. Now that is an adventure…

Nice. So how would Rivera draw that scene? I’m afraid we’ve seen similar examples already, such as the bear chase and rescue (by Andy instead of Mark) back in May 18-20, 2023.
As for Reboot Cherry in a bathing suit, on a good drawing day she could actually look pretty decent. But poor Retro Mark-To-The-Rescue is actually running towards a disaster of his own unintended making. Kind of like Reboot Mark, I think.

It’s so nice that you have those May 18-20, 2023, strips in your archive for us to see.
I’m looking at you, Comics Kingdom. 😠

Ah, I’m afraid they are paywalled. But they go back much farther than our blog site!
