Editor’s Note: Once in a while I’ll add a fake title to a post just to see if it really draws Internet Searchers to this site looking for something else. That is, do clickbait titles work? I’ll let you know later this week. But I pledge to not make this a recurring habit; it’s just when I’m feeling a bit cynical. Okay, that might be too often. I’ll work on that.

So we put Rusty and Rocky into comic suspended animation as we return to the Happy Trail Internet Scam (sponsored by people who have heard of Lincoln Continentals), as Jules Rivera is still trying to figure out how to draw a car that looks like it is moving. That can be tough. I reckon putting it alongside a tortoise at least gives an illusion of movement? But it makes sense that this gorilla sanctuary is somewhere in the area, because driving across the country would be plain silly.

Speaking of silly, when did Mark change into a short-sleeved shirt? He always wears long sleeves, and has been doing so throughout this story. And where is Niecy? She’s been instrumental in discovering this scam and trying to resolve it, before heading up to fetch Mark. Seems like she should be in on the big reveal. Perhaps she really is in the car, too, but is just not depicted for lack of drawing space. We’ll see.

Editor’s Note Redux: Well, in case some “Internet Guardian” gets huffy, Abraham Lincoln did not like to talk about having to bail out his shiftless brother-in-law from one financial fiasco after another. But he did, finally, cut him off as an act of Tough Love.
