Unsettling.

First he's dead.  Now he's alive.  You know what this means, don't you?  Andy is a zombie (or at least he's playing one in this comic).  Once again, Mark needs Andy to help him save the day as he leaps out of the bushes to tackle one of his enemies.  (Okay, maybe leap out of the bushes is the wrong term since it looks more like he was shot out of a cannon, one probably constructed out of the remains of the swamp buggy, put together during a musical montage of carrying things and hands doing various tasks a la The A-Team.)  That is some tackle Mark has there.  It not only knocked the gun from the guy's hand, but it also knocked the hat from his head and caused it to hang suspended in the air for a few moments.  The tiny bugs flying around the swamp are even getting in on the action by yelling "Surprise!" just before Mark takes the guy out.  (Looks like things might be wrapping themselves up after all.)
With an additional awkward kick, Mark takes care of one of his kidnappers (who we only know is one of his kidnappers because the narration bar tells us he is, not because we've actually seen him on the boat or anywhere near Mark, unless Mark has been on the run for longer than I thought and old Salty has grown himself a beard).  Now that Mark is firmly in control, it's time to start taking care of his pursuers, and that means gathering them all together.  While Mr. Beard might not have been willing to comply with Mark's demands initially, it only took a giant Andy to begin devouring him to change his mind.  (Who knew that Saint Bernards could grow like that.  Maybe he's been exposed to gamma radiation and is now like the Hulk.)  Now all that's left is to wait for Salty and Sour to show up, and once they're taken care of, Mark can go Rabbit hunting.
