Okay, so today is just another round of insulting and dissing Mark. Can we please move on?

You can call me dense, but I just don’t get Mark’s comment in panel 3. Is he talking about himself? It can’t be Cricket Bro, who is not a writer. I’m open to explanations! I don’t even get it what it means.

Although I indicated a bit ago that this would be another foray into silliness and outright tomfoolery, there are also unintended follies along the way. Cricket Bro’s fantasy “action figure” pose (like those cheap toys from the 1980s) and anatomy in panel 1 is one of them. It doesn’t even look like him. The more I look at it, the creepier it looks. Rivera might want to study comic book action heroes for better inspiration. Poor Cricket Bro’s anatomy (panel 2) looks like it was made up; even the lines are just a haphazard hash. Not sure why!

Rivera’s constant need to present this strip in a gag format (even when the gags don’t work) does little to improve the storyline. In fact, it’s a real distraction!
