“Step into my parlor,” said the spider to the flies.

I’m starting to get confused (a common occurrence, I’m afraid). Apparently, Guyler has done some online research and thinks that Mark is an investigative journalist. Okay, I reckon that is more or less accurate. But why does Gail state that they will get Happy’s cash (panel 2)? Didn’t Happy already send it to her? Else, where’s the problem?

By the way, I like the way Guyler peeks through the venetian blinds, like a mobster in an old film noir crime movie watching out for the cops. Was this an intended reference?

And why does Jules Rivera state that Happy and Li’l Abner, I mean Mark, are now approaching the sanctuary (panel 3) when they are already there? Well, perhaps she means “entering the building” or something like that. My wife says I sometimes get too nit-picky (but most of the time, just the opposite).

Nevertheless, this fake Dreama sounds like she means business, and I do mean bad business. Yeah! I hope this isn’t just hot air on Rivera’s part. Let’s get to some real action! At worst, I hope this parent-child grifting duo doesn’t turn out to be just another Cheddersons act.

  1. Mark is finally learning stealth! Instead of heading for the door or the gate, he’s crossing the parking lot to have a word with Grod.
