My personal opinion is that neither Mark nor “Ha-Haw” Camel ever outgrew the “girls are icky!” phase of development. OTOH, nothing that Mark nor Camel has done or said suggests that they’re sniping at one another.

These two can continue dissing, Genie, but an abandoned way-station is suddely a lot more interesting…

And, personally, I like David Hurst’s (on FB’s Readers of the Comic Curmudgeon) take on the exploitation of indigenous people:

Someone also wondered if a Mark Trail / Mary Worth crossover was a sign of the Apocalypse.

I don’t know. I just don’t know.

But I digress from the dangerous danger — the perilous peril — the TERRIBLE TERROR that Mark and the hiking group find themselves in! At least the selfless Mingna might be able to help!

Thank you, noble third-world person!

Unfortunately, many third-world persons appear to look like every other third-world person…

And so much for the thrills and chills of escaping the Jaws of Death ™:

I’m pretty impressed that Mark filled up a panel nearly 50% with dialogue! Well, it had to be said.

…or am I really hearing something?

Minga’s right…it’s the only merciful thing to do.

Whoa! Whoa! WHOA! Treacherous climbs! Weird sounds! Male-bonding! Sometimes, we all have to sit back and think things over quietly and calmly…

You’ll feel better…honestly!

Wow…finally in Seduwa! It’ll be a hop, skip, and a jump until we reach the next part of our journey, and another three weeks! Rusty will probably be in junior college by the time Mark gets home.

And we’re off again…tents and crappy rations, ho!

Wasn’t it more than a little good fortune that Mark’s last adventure sent him to the U.S./Mexico border?

No matter where, you know it’s got to be interesting!

Like I said, it’s always interesting. I bet Mark could find a crocodile in somebody’s swimming pool!

…by the disgustingly polluted sea. (But, oh! Those abs!)

Well, that’s what it is: half yak, half domestic cattle, anything to keep things interesting.

Too bad he isn’t in charge of this little soiree in the Himalayas…

And who would’ve guessed it? Everyone in Nepal is a comedian.

Until things get testy…

This took entirely too much effort, but I like Mark Trail and am getting really peeved at “Dr. Camel,” who’s supposed to be a famous anthropologist or something. At the moment, he’s more of a famous grand-stander, and if it means some danger for Mark, I’m just going to have to sign off on it as Collateral Damage.
