Ah, the sunny Caribbean! No doubt it’s all Too Much for Mark, who should be back in Lost Forest, chopping and stockpiling wood, insulating the cabin, shooting and dressing and storing venison and elk, all for the long, cold dark winter–awww, hell, noes!
He doesn’t even have to worry where he put his longjohns after the last Spring thaw! This kidnapping gig is pretty sweet!
Having saved the life of an old woman on Mission Beach, and likely to be invoked as a medical demigod once he returns to Parteeheartee Arms, I doubt Rex is really going to have much of a vacation from his practice.
Still, a true student of Hippocrates gives service where service is needed… (What are the odds that Rex pronounces this as “Hippo Crates,” something that Mark Trail or the Phantom might use?)
(And a special thanks to CC’s Dale for straightening out all that nautical jargon for me!)
Is Mary losing her Meddle? Is Mark losing his steel-will to return to the ice and snow of a coming winter in Lost Forest, with only Cherry and Pops and Rusty for company? What is this world coming to if that were the case?!?
Never fear, it’s Mary!
And Mark!
And because some things are just too good…
Ah, so the hard-working girls of Junior’s Condos are strippers! And they’re caring for a sick co-worker! Wow, the Morgans cannot catch a break — it’s still work, work, work, whether in Morganville or sunny San Diego!
October is always the month filled with Philanthropy and Good Works!
I don’t know if Mark Trail is all that interesting, or that the other serials are just pretty damned boring at the moment (Mary slaves away at her computer, Sam is roaming the backwoods with Juggs McGee, Rex is fixing a young lady’s plumbing IN THE MOST LITERAL SENSE, and so on). So you’re stuff with the gang in LoFo.
At least we can sit back and all agree…What a Woman!
And then we can really settle in and nod… What a Man!
…because at this rate, Rusty is going to turn into a walking time bomb.
or, O Ghost Who Infringes on Franchises! (Old Jungle saying)
Having considered The Ghost Who Offers Advice (or at least Supplies Commentary from a Safe Distance), the lioness is on the move!
It’s okay, Cherry…we all make mistakes (although I’m not looking forward to Mark punching you when you explain this all to him).
