[edited] This seems like yet another wasted day with nothing happening except for the same drippy dialog now taking place in front of the golf resort/water park. Rivera lays on the “doting helicopter parents appreciating the granddad-son moment” trope as if the strip has been hijacked by the Hallmark Network.

But behind all of this schmaltz lies a clue to what I believe is really going on. Did you spot it?

Hint #1: Panel 1.
Hint #2:  The Zeeba Mussels adventure (8/12/2021- 2/4/2022)
Hint #3: Duck Duck Goose Shipping
Hint #4: No idea! I don’t even like cheese!

The next question is whether Mark has seen the clue and figured it out.
