Oh, Jules Rivera devoted today’s strip to reach a visual punch line, because, what else is there to explore or discover, right? No flashy gambling halls, no big-time shows, no outdoor presentations, no trip to Hoover Dam, not even any streetwalkers! In short, no Las Vegas experience.
You know, I was thinking that Mark might have tried to clear his project with Bill Ellis ahead of time, so he wouldn’t waste his trip or his opportunity to become the Top Woodsman and get that Big Money! Bill just might have warned him off, like he did to Mark at the end of the A-I, A-I, Oh! story that ended in late June 2025.

Mark took Xyzal?

? Isn’t that an antihistamine? Are you suggesting Mark might be trying to avoid Cherry!? Maybe she has channeled her earlier aggressive behavior into other directions.

The owl congratulated Mark for his wise decision. That reminded me of another owl who told us to be “Wise all, take Xyzal.” Like most commercials I don’t remember what they’re selling just how annoying the catch phrase is to me. I’m looking at YOU, 1-800-kars-for-kids (They cars with a k!). Anyway, I’m disinclined to listen to any owl not wearing a little hat like Poindexter from the Felix the Cat kartoons (That’s cartoons with a k!). Thank you for attending my chalk talk.

You don’t trust Owl in Winnie the Pooh!?
Anway, I remember the radio commercials for that cars/kars for kids stuff. Thanks for sticking that jingle back into my head, by the way.
As for Felix, who could not love his magic bag!? The early b&w silent cartoons were really surrealistic, with Felix emoting, then pulling down his emoted “exclamation marks” or “question marks” and turning them into various tools.
As for the chalk talk, I’m good with that, as long as I don’t have to clean the erasers afterward!
