Another story day lost to self-pity

This is at least the second time Sammy Spotter has whined about only being a bird watcher, rather than the film’s animal wrangler, as he was originally described (can you guess the date?).  Like me, you might also be wondering just what view Mark has seen that merits his excitement. Maybe he just likes dark cave entrances.

Some of us might be sitting around the digital fireplace right now (preferably Nick Offerman’s 10-hour marathon), pondering just how this Wesley Wingit character got trapped in the cave in the first place (assuming Mark is correct). Did Wingit get a foot trapped in a giant clam? Did a cave boulder suddenly roll atop him, with a rising tide? Maybe Wingit got lost in a maze of twisty passages, all alike. As this is a family strip, I doubt he will show up as a floater.

Anyway, if the rescue gets complicated, Rivera could resort to a Gilligan’s Island dux ex machina, where the castaways simply made various props and costumes show up as needed.
