Which is worse?

I don't know what crazy perspective Jack is using in the last panel, but I'd like to think that Mark Trail has just stumbled onto a new contender for “The Giant Thing That Should Be In A B-Movie, But Isn’t” category. There are movies about giant ants, spiders, lizards, and even some about tomatoes, but I’ve never seen, or heard of, a giant skunk movie. Personally, I’d find the giant skunk a lot more terrifying than the others. I mean, think about it. Skunks have sharp teeth and claws, so you’ve got to watch out for those, they eat a lot, so the citizens of wherever the giant one shows up are in trouble, and then there’s the smell. I have to believe that anything sprayed would immediately start melting or dying, and the smell alone would probably be enough to incapacitate anyone. I think there’s a lot of potential for this movie. They should put it in a theater and use Smell-O-Vision Technology with it too, though that would probably greatly decrease the number of people who go see it, but I’m sure it would later become a cult classic with midnight screenings and skunk themed parties.
