What ho! The first thing out of the mouth of a smiling Mark Trail has nothing to do with layabout lions or missing actors, but bragging about his finds like a kid at an Easter Egg Hunt. Useless animal wrangler, Sammy Spotter, is positively giddy that he can discover where Wesley Wingit might have already been (assuming this is really Wingit’s camera).

Now, is Rivera getting philosophic on us? “We have to know the past in order to know the future.” In Panel 3, Mark’s comment completes the second half of that axiom. Nevertheless, it is possible to speculate on future actions based on past events. Except for future investment performance, of course.

Okay, what about that production schedule document? Since Wesley Wingit is the director, surely the producer(s) and studio also have copies of it. So they could have looked it over to check for location shots and send people to scout them out on the specified dates, right? Will the guys finally realize this? Did the producers even think about it?

<Sigh!> One thing we’ve learned for sure:  So far, Sammy Spotter has proven to be about as relevant as “Gadzooks!”
