One could almost be sympathetic to Gail and Guyler, but as I pointed out yesterday, Gail tipped her hand a few weeks ago. Her attitude towards her unknowing donors was anything but grateful. So I’m not yet convinced that Guyler is genuine, either. Even his earlier comments paint a less than honorable portrait.

However, from a storyline angle, this is a plausible subplot with Guyler either confessing or gaslighting Mark, while Gail works on Happy, who doesn’t need much convincing at all. Mark has to figure out how much of this is a swindle versus the real deal. But I don’t buy Guyler’s “No place to live” line, as I’d think other gorilla sanctuaries in the States would take the animals.

Dig the pose of the gorilla in panel 4. I’m not sure what it is thinking as it “kind of” looks at Happy and Gail. And Jules Rivera’s narration box doesn’t logically follow the prior panels as far as I can tell.
