After a week’s hiatus, a reminder strip is not out of line. Interestingly, it is something of a “redo” of the Saturday, September 21 strip as seen from the point of view of Sammy Spotter:

Sammy Spotter’s fear is groundless, given what we know. But since he has been portrayed as a handwringing worrywart the whole time, there is no real drama. And no real suspense, except for the mystery of how and why the lions are allowed to be outside.

I reckon that we are supposed to assume Mark explored a lot of other rooms in this mansion, even though we did not see them. Too bad, as they might have led to some interesting situations.

Thus, Rivera missed another opportunity to build drama and suspense. Wait, I take that back. There is the mystery of the whereabouts of the actors who were supposedly locked inside the house along with the lions and the director. How come neither Mark nor Sammy seem at all concerned about them?
