Okay, let’s just admit the basis for this story is wanting. Violet throws her upscale cultured persona around like an Olympic athlete throwing the javelin. She wears what passes for fashionable clothes, seems to affect an English accent or maybe just a few words here and there, and has a mother with fancy friends. Maybe Violet lives with Mom and maybe she doesn’t, but Mom can’t live too far away. From Violet’s remarks, we have to assume her Mom and friends get themselves fancied-up for various events.
Yet, in spite of all this, Violet has no idea where to find a salon!? Is Lost Forest located in the middle of the Okefenokee Swamp? For that matter, should we assume that Cherry manage her own hair?
Or is this just Violet’s technique for negotiating a reduced price?
People dress like it’s the Kentucky Derby Festival every day in Lost Forest. /s
I’m sad to see the writing of Mark Trail so incredibly sophomoric, with the artwork to match (especially on weekdays).
Peach, the fanciest stylist in town, ought to do something about her Groucho Marx eyebrows.

In fact, “Groucho” eyebrows seem to be a common occurrence in several characters in Mark Trail, including Mark, himself. Cherry, on the other hand, looks like she has her eyebrows plucked. Clearly, it’s not something in the local water.
