For those coming in late, the “Grungy Boys” are middle-age delinquents with a fascination for causing destruction in Lost Forest. Head Grungey Boy in yellow, Honest Ernest, has fallen in stature over the years, from an optimistic ne’er-do-well with a business and a wife, to a divorced loser with a revenge chip on his shoulder against the entire Trail family. The guy with the Richard Simmons haircut is Connor, a whiny incompetent who got into trouble after following a fake survival book by fraudster Tad Sass. Connor was rescued by Mark and Rusty, but became a major headache in Mark’s doomed fishing survival class. The third member (panel 1) is an anonymous goof with a funny mouth and cap.

For some reason, Jules Rivera calls this action a demolition derby. It was originally explained as a race. Yet in neither case is there ever more than one riding lawn mower present. Yeah, don’t look for the logic.

We can expect some action coming up from Rusty and his aunt, Olive Pitt, who have been trying to find a way to stop the Grungey Boys from damaging Lost Forest.
