A Sheriff?! Is Lost Forest actually in Arizona or Wyoming? Well, this Sheriff is wearing his official Stetson and holding his official “Old West Jail Cell Key Ring”, the kind that hangs on a peg by the cell, so prisoners can work on creative ways to get them and escape. Maybe we’ll find out soon just why Cherry thinks it is necessary to visit Psycho Rick, especially as sister Peach appears to no longer be around.
The Sheriff looks guilty of playing the “male chauvinist” card, while he talks to Mark as if he is the one who needs to talk to Rick, and “the little woman” just came along, clinging to her husband. But his remark might be understandable, given that Mark is the one who spoke up first, while Cherry remained silent. And she sure looks clingy. Still, what’s the story here? Where is it heading? Are we going to have a “Silence of the Lambs” moment this week?
Art Dept. That’s one strange jailhouse. Another one of Rivera’s strange art days, with shifting proportions and bad perspective. Clunky drawing mars the panels where visual elements such as the cell door and the front door look as if they were bent and then slapped onto the walls. There’s a lot to unpack and you’re welcome to indulge.
Seems like the Sheriff is focused on Mark because he has a history of trouble with him.
BTW, there’s a long Tea Fougner interview with a few paragraphs about Mark & Jules – https://www.tcj.com/king-features-comics-editorial-director-tea-fougners-exit-interview-how-the-industry-and-comic-strips-have-changed/#disqus_thread

Thanks! That was a pretty good interview. So there is an Instagram account dealing or covering Mark Trail? Couldn’t find it.
