Things can move fast in Lost Forest. Last time we saw Mark, he was talking up his plans for the big retreat. Not only did Mark con the De-Bait Team into letting him use their lodge, they already have their first group of … only three paying customers. Holy Cow! How is Mark going to make this retreat idea pay off?
Anyway, where’s the joke here? Did Rivera (or Mark) forget the punchline? Usually, the joke goes something like this: “Teach a man to fish … and he’ll have another way to waste time and money.” Maybe it’s just me. Help me out, people!
Art Dept. It sure looks like Rivera was itchin’ to get out to the beach early, as the artwork in these three panels grows progressively less refined. I’ll leave you with this visual puzzle: What do you think is behind the windows in panel 2?

George, to me it is clearly a tsunami wave rolling in to probably crush the cabin.

Thank you, Mark. That’s what I saw, as well. Maybe it is a giant wave created by one of those big cargo ships running flank speed along the Lost Forest river that Mark and the De-Bait Team confronted a while back (“Zeeba Mussels”)?

I think she should run with that. Have the cabin destroyed, then Mark brings out a pipe like the old days and survives in the woods. Campfires, bears, and flapjacks!

Heck, she could just hire us to write the stories for her! That’s assuming KFS pays her a decent salary. That’ll give her more time for drawing.
