Okay, I have to give Rivera points for naming the airport after one of Mark Trail’s earliest artists, who not only drew the Sunday pages but also ghosted a lot of the dailies for Ed Dodd so he could spend more time writing the stories.

Panel 1 is well composed, using shallow angles that help define depth and avoid a static appearance. In fact, it almost looks like it was inspired by an advert for a travel agency. I don’t mean that to be a negative, by the way. Nevertheless, I offer this observation, as is: I’m too lazy to spend countless hours trying to prove my hypothesis by finding the original source. Feel free to take it on, if you like!
