Mark immediately contradicts himself by talking things out. How planned with this class? Perhaps Mark should have shared his fishing philosophy with the students at the start of the class to avoid misunderstandings.
Art Dept. Cliff’s fishing lodge must be doing gangbuster business, as it has dramatically expanded in size, compared to its original depiction. But that might be an invalid comparison, just as were my futile attempts earlier to reconcile the various depictions of Mark and Cherry’s cabin. Perhaps we have to grant artistic expression, where props are used and modified—as needed—to fit the scene. The modest structure we see in the panel from 2021 would be swallowed up in the view portrayed above, where “fishing lodge on the river” is the obvious intention. Or, it could just be that these distinctions are not so important to Rivera.
