On to the next adventure! Mark offers a very effusive greeting to his friends. I was afraid that Mark might start groveling in gratitude.

So that no-name camper dude Mark and Rusty rescued is a friend of the De-Bait team!? Hoo-boy.

Anyway, it sure looks like Mark is going to try and follow through on his plans to create a survival retreat and get his “good buddies” to volunteer some of their time. Or money.

But credit where credit’s due:  That drawing of Mark in panel 3 is one of the best panels Rivera has drawn. The perspective and proportions are very good and there’s nothing of the cartoony, whacko, sketchy style Rivera often uses. It would be great if Rivera repeated that quality throughout the strip.
