Mark provides fatherly advice for taking a serious approach to the topic of electronic waste in our environment, while Rusty provides comic relief. All well and good. But will the environment topic, itself, be treated seriously, or once again used merely as a story prop?

While the real point of the wild horse story in Utah revolved around an A.I. data center, we learned very little about what actually took place with wild animals and we learned even less about why data centers may be bad for people and the environment. That is to say, virtually nothing. Wasted opportunity.

As this is an environmentally-conscious adventure strip, we should expect to see Rusty researching and assembling the project (without slandering Robbie), along with providing some basic discussions of the topic along the way. One could even imagine Robbie viewing the exhibit at the fair and feeling guilty enough to admit to Rusty he was sorry for being careless with his game components. Yeah, right.

Uff-da! Must…stop…writing. Cynical nature…is…taking over! Think. Positive. Thoughts. It hurts! Aargh!!
