Can’t anybody get their priorities straight around here? Did Mark drive Happy to the sanctuary so he could spend his time asking about gorilla enclosures or was it to find out where Happy’s money went (see May 30)!?  I could make a joke about the apparent disappearance of fencing in panel 2 as a point about Mark’s questioning, but we all know that this is simply how Jules Rivera shows animals and people behind cages, fences, and jail cells. Frankly, I don’t know why it matters to Rivera to draw it this way, but that’s how it is.

As a matter of form, if Mark is curious about the gorillas and the grounds, maybe he should have been asking how Gail got them, where all the paperwork is, and what professional staff she keep on site.

Anyway, I reckon my hair would also turn white like Mark’s (panel 3) if my dad blindsided me by going all Movie rom-com on a strange woman whose personality was faked (as was his). Even Guyler, whose slacks changed from white to blue (as of yesterday!), looks gobsmacked by Happy’s actions. Seems like bringing Happy along was a really bad idea!

It’s a heck of a cliffhanger, I’ll give Rivera that! I can imaging Gail thinking “This sucker couldn’t make it any easier than if he just showed up with handfuls of cash and handed it over. Hmmm, I wonder how much I can get for that ring…?” And Mark must be thinking “There goes my inheritance!”
