Watch Mark get older!

Go ahead if you wish, and comment on the changing map topography in the first two panels. Maybe it’s a two-sided map. I don’t know. Or comment, if you desire, on how Mark aged between Panel 2 and Panel 4.

Well, will Mark and Happy start with the waterway alongside the resort for the first test? Could save a lot of time. Run several tests. If they come back negative, Mark owes the Cheddersons an apology. Then he’ll have to investigate the other sources. It would be a hoot for Mark to discover the pollution source was the Sunny Soleil Society! How would Cherry take that result!?

Speaking of maps, it would be kind of cool if Rivera produced an “official” map of Lost Forest, kind of like A.A. Milne’s map of the Hundred Acre Woods or Tolkien’s Middle Earth. Why not? None of the prior artists every produced one that I’m aware of. There is, as some of you know, an official “Mark Trail Wilderness” area along the Appalachian Trail in northeastern Georgia. It’s quite extensive, though I’ve never visited it. We don’t need a map quite that big, however; just the area around the Lost Forest community and its surroundings. Too bad E. H. Shephard is no longer around.

  1. I would really like to see an official map of Lost Forest, too. Unfortunately, it seems that Rivera struggles to draw even the Mark Trail home consistently; it often varies from one instance to another. Just like the maps in panels #1 and #2, I’m concerned that Jules may not be able to create a reliable and consistent map of the locations within Lost Forest.

    Did you mean for her to generate the map as a one-time deal?
