I suppose Cherry and Mark can claim some justification for their visit and shaming, since Peach invited herself up to Lost Forest and involved them in her troubles. But I agree with Rick: “No more!”
I have to hand it to Rivera for coming up with a nice closing comment from Cherry in panel 4, though I think I’d have swapped a “y’all” for “you” (y’all can be singular or plural, whereas “All y’all” is definitely plural). It would have just given Cherry’s statement more southern sweetness.
Artwork: Are you as mystified as I am about panel 3? It’s as if Rivera had been reading “A Tale of Two Cities” with all of its jail scenes. Rick’s cell has taken on the form of some old plaster-and-brick prison. That’s odd for what appears to be a modern concrete and steel building. Furthermore, the architecture of the jail cell is completely different from before. But I’m really curious how and why the jail cell door is now open. Maybe the sheriff agrees with me that having to listen to Mark all this week was punishment enough for anybody!
The Daily Trail 
An entire week’s worth of finger-wagging from Mark Trail? That’s not exactly riveting stuff. Both the story and the art this week have been lackluster.
What was up with that deer in the last panel yesterday? A Comics Kingdom snarker suggested the Bear Bozos were back dressed up in a deer costume. The front legs were too thick and human-like. The photograph Rivera based the deer on was not hard to find. Can’t Rivera draw from a photograph?
C’mon Jules. Fans of Mark Trail deserve better.

“Y’all did all” might be a biiiit much.

Yeah, I was afraid that would get caught. Well, perhaps I could try to justify it as an example of assonance or vowel harmony? Vowel alliteration, that is.
Or, I could sacrifice the second “all” in a vain attempt to prop up my flimsy suggestion.
Or I could just say “Well, you got a point, Downpuppy. We leave it at “you.” :)
