Are the Cheddersons from out of town or maybe have never played on golf courses in the southeast?  Well, who can tell. And frankly, who cares, since the whole point here is to get in another scenario of humanity’s interactions with wildlife. And that awareness is part of the foundation of Mark Trail. Mark has been fighting an uphill battle for over 70 years, and it doesn’t look like he’s winning.

Art Dept. The wavy lines that we’ve been observing on Rusty, then Brett, and now both of the Cheddersons (panel 3) have lately been discussed in the Comments section. And here they are again, but only on the Cheddersons. Perhaps they represent the heat of the moment, i.e. some anxiety and anger.

I consulted the Lexicon of Comicana, by Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey, Hi and Lois, Boner’s Ark, et al.). He has a short bit on wavy lines: Wavy “heat” lines from hot drinks are called Indotherms. Wavy “hot” lines from the sun are called Solrads. Nothing about stink lines, though! I totally overlooked the Indotherm definition yesterday, by the way. Just a small note to Self to take more time.
