Dang! Another swing and a miss for me. So what was Mark looking at on that wall that we could not see? That seemed to be the point of the last panel in yesterday’s strip: That is, setting us up for the big reveal today. I reckon I was wrong about Gemma’s head having pride of place on the hidden wall. Otherwise, I think it would have been more effective for Rivera to show Mark turned around, starting at the walls we could see.  Am I wrong?

Anyway, I can’t believe Mark would have been so gobsmacked yesterday by what appears to be a typical (if bountiful) hunter’s trophy room. After all, Mark has his own past history of hunting. I think it is safe to say that Rivera is not a hunter, so a trophy room is sure to shock.

Anyway, Rivera jumped us back outside, where Mark grabbed his camo jacket—presumably from his car—and then walked some 10 yards away to show to Tess and Jess, standing back by the car! Sometimes I don’t get Rivera’s reasoning for her layouts. 

Art Dept. I’m trying my best to mentally square Mark’s forearm with his torso. But I can’t.  At the angle shown, his total arm length would likely extend down at least to his kneecaps. Talk about knuckle-dragging. I’m not sure if Rivera bothered to draw the complete arm when roughing in the panel, or whether she just draws each body part separately, which could lead to this distorted look.
