So, Mark has no idea what’s going on? Perhaps I’m jumping the gun about that golf course connection. Happy doesn’t say which resort he is in, but there must be several. Being a fisherman, maybe he’s at the De-Bait Fishing Lodge, home to Mark’s friend, Cliff. Or maybe at a golfing resort. In any event, this story is moving along pretty slowly, about the rate of your standard soap opera strip.

Art Dept. Well, what can we say about it? The drawing looks simplistic and rushed. Composition is not a term has much bearing on today’s strip. I’m curious about how Rivera draws shirt pockets. As we see in panel 3, Happy’s pockets are really small, not practical. But his pockets in panel 2 look much more plausible. Sure, it’s a minor detail, but sometimes that’s where the fun is.
