Yesterday’s strip ended with Mark amazingly figuring out that his photos could be useful to help locate something hidden on Crass’s property that might create an unfortunate reaction by the wild horses. Amazing deduction, Mark, considering that nothing on that point had been mentioned before.

But today, Mark acts as if he had not made that discovery at all, but suddenly realized he was being used by Rivera to take the photos for an unknown reason. Which is it, Rivera?

So why even keep Mark in the dark about the purpose of these pictures? And why keep us in the dark about their existence? Rivera chose to not show Mark taking photos, thus missing an opportunity to illustrate a dramatic sequence of panels of Mark working his camera under the unsuspecting eyes of corporate security.
