So, the catio did get finished. Honest Ernest helped. But the catio looks nothing like the catios you can buy. Didn’t Rivera at least look for examples online for reference?

And now, the next obvious question: Where are the rest of the townsfolk? That person behind Mark in panel 4 has to be a badly-drawn Cherry, not Larry of the 3 Stooges. There is an anonymous figure behind Cherry in panel 1.  Is Lost Forest really this small of a community? 

I think not, so it is egregious for Rivera to make that exaggerated claim in panel 1. What is the point? Why not just state that “some of the townsfolk” were helpful? Or even state only that Mark, Cherry, and Honest Ernest completed building the catio and that’s that. Did King Features fire all of their editors?

Art Dept: Well … uh …, oh, what’s the use? Maybe Rivera should remember what she once commented about on another platform and revert to drawing with pen and ink, rather than a digital tablet.
