Through the magic of editing (and the fact that having a week's worth of strips where it's nothing but Mark trudging through the forest with Svelmer) Mark has delivered his attacker, and shooter of Joey Williams, to the hospital, where he just happens to run into the sheriff. (He was probably there to donate some blood, or maybe he was working on the Joey Williams case. Whatever the reason, it's good to see him again.) And so, in case you missed the previous strips, Mark graciously recaps all of the excitement (leaving out the fact that Andy somehow learned to fly because well, then the feds would get involved and probably take the lovable St. Bernard away and we certainly can't have that, can we? No. No we can't.).
Uh oh. Looks like Mark might not make it to dinner after all. After learning that a guard has been posted for both Joey and Svelmer (just one? Won't the guy get tired running back and forth between the rooms? I mean, they can't put the two in the same room or even next door to each other since who knows who could come during visiting hours), the sheriff goes on to inform Mark that he has indeed gotten the feds involved and the fine folks from Homeland Security are going to investigate the barrels. (Myself, I would have contacted the EPA, but I guess the two are connected.) Luckily, the chipmunk with super sensitive hearing catches everything that's being said so the animals can cover up any of their own activities that if found would only raise questions about just what kind of animals live in Lost Forest. Let's hope that the Avians choose to keep a low profile too. They don't want to get the government involved in this Mark Trail/world domination business and neither do I. Too much red tape and bickering.
