Heh! Heh! I should get an award for prescience, don’t you think!? Come to think of it, if I was prescient, I’d already know, right?
Not only is Tad Crass reacting like Senator Small, he must have hired the Senator’s security force, or the railroad police, as well. And like the Senator and police, they want to shut Mark up and take his phone. But this time, Mark didn’t have time to pull out a fake. (“Something Fishy” adventure)

Yet, how do we know Crass has convinced the BLM to round up mustangs to benefit his property? I know that environmental and animal rights groups claim that the BLM sometimes works with private companies to deliberately corral mustangs into isolated areas where they are not well cared for, all to make public grazing lands more accessible to large ranchers. The BLM states otherwise. Anyway, we’re not here to take sides.

The point is that Rivera is making this the focus of Mark’s adventure, but is she attempting to explore the opposing viewpoint? So far, no. What we have here is Mark making accusations for which no corroborative evidence has yet been produced. In Ohio Mark at least noted dead fish in a river near the chemical spill from the train derailment before going to the press conference. Well, based on panel 4, I wonder if we’re we going to get a repeat of the Ohio press conference police smack-down?

Art Dept. The drawing is getting pretty sloppy, as if hastily done.
