That’s it!? This is how the Washington DC school trip story ends? I apologize for even referring to it as a story, because there was no plot and no point. If we were to rank Rivera’s stories, I think this rambling mess would be right at the bottom. And it appears that Honest Ernest’s pledge to build a place for the kittens must have fallen through, based on Cherry’s comment in panel 3. As before, a communication between Mark and Cherry serves to transition back to Cherry’s adventure.
Okay, maybe they will spend this week hashing over the school trip and filling in some of the blanks.
Well, there are few good things I can point out:
- The foreground grass in panel 1 is quite well done for a change.
- Rivera seems to have more or less free-handed the truck in panel 1, rather than just relying on photoshopping the image. However, I don’t believe that rear truck windows curve across the top edge, as they do on cars (panel 2).
- The Washington DC Student Trip fiasco is over without Mark destroying anything or getting chased by the police.

The Washington, D.C. story arc was just an excuse for Rivera to use some of the images from her Washington, D.C. and aquarium clip art collections.
I’m probably giving Rivera too much credit, but do you think we might be seeing Senator Smalls again real soon?

Maybe if he gets a cabinet appointment under the new president: Dept. of the Interior or something like that.

I have to say, Her drawing of the pickup as well as spending more than a nano-second to draw the grass was one of her better efforts in the past 2 years. So, I agree George. As usual, the commentary and story line is basically unreadable but she made an effort in her artwork today.
