Craven weaves a web of death

He is one nasty, backstabbing dude!

Bonus Feature and comments

You remember that the bonus features are "ideas rejected in the original Mark Trail brainstorming session" and that I claim they are all better than what was actually produced. I've had this one "in my pocket" for some time, in case I had a dry day. But the truth is that I have about ten strips done ahead, which is two weeks worth if I kept putting out five a week as was my practice. However, I'm so excited about where everything's going, I can't wait to get there. Then, as happened today, Elrod throws me a couple pictures that play right into what I've been doing. I know I'll never run dry until the plot arc is complete and Mark's fist lands on someone's jaw (I'm hoping for Commissioner Craven, but betting on Buzzard -- by the way, today's strip revealed that Buzzard's real name is Bob Bird, and that he has a wife).
Happy Trails for now!

Commissioner Craven Works the Phone

He's got a lot of shady characters on speed dial.

The Plot Thickens

I went back a ways for the image of the commissioner with brown hair, but interestingly, in the last couple Mark Trail strips his hair is once again brown. What a wacky world.

Time for some talking animals

Yes, we're long overdue for some talking animals, and there are more coming before too long.

Mocking some of the regular absurdities

We're in the middle of a batch of strips that mainly mock some of the common offenses to logic that occur in Mark Trail. Hope you enjoy!

Illogical modesty

The investigation moves forward at a snail's pace.
