With the Ken, Patty, and Bucky story pretty much wrapped up (or at least as wrapped up as it's going to be), it's time to move on to the next exciting adventure of everyone's favorite naturalist...eventually. So far all that's happened is that Mark (in his standard Lost Forest uniform), Cherry (who has abandoned her traditional pink button up shirt for a kicky sweater and turtleneck), and Rusty (dressing in style with a polka dot bandanna) have gone to eat at some diner with the promise of a trip to the camera store to get a new memory card for Rusty's camera. (I could be wrong, but it also looks like Rusty might have lost a tooth somewhere between the fishing/camping trip and his unexpected absence from the strip while Mark dealt with the swamp and deer business.) Oh, the excitement of the local diner! Who will order what? Do they serve Coke or Pepsi? How's the Reuben? Do they have real milkshakes? How's the pie? So many questions to answer. With all of this talk about cameras, could we be building up to Rusty accidentally taking a picture of some kind of illegal activity? It could be anything, I suppose. Mobsters dumping a body. Illegal logging in Lost Forest. Animal baiting or fighting (again). Littering. I know that I can't wait to find out.

So that's it? Two guys we've never seen before are worried that some kid they don't know has just accidentally taken their picture in the process of taking a picture of his loving parents, who don't seem to want to sit very close to each other and are more content to lean in than scoot their chairs over? Who knows what that longshoreman and his golden jacketed buddy did to make them so nervous. (But really, if they are wanted and didn't want to be seen, the one guy shouldn't have worn a gold jacket and they shouldn't have stopped at the diner. I think that they want to be caught.) Now we just have to wait and see what sort of nefarious deeds they committed to make them so nervous about being part of the background of Rusty's picture.
