Bob returns home to find the little blonde girl watching television and Mary busying herself with what appears to be a dog's water dish (even though we haven't been given any indication that Bob, Mary, and the little blonde girl own a dog). Not wanting to waste any time, and possibly because he's worked up the nerve and is afraid that if he doesn't say something now, he never will, Bob tells Mary that there's something they need to talk about and suggests they do it in the other room. Wait a minute Bob, why would you want to move into the other room to discuss this poaching idea of Stu and Phil's? Wouldn't discussing such a thing in front of a sensitive little girl be a little insensitive? Before the conversation can even begin, though, the strip shifts focus to a car (presumably Mark and Rusty) heading through the forest under the watchful eyes of a pair of ducks. You know, I always figured Mark to be more of a truck kind of guy, but I suppose that's neither here nor there, for the real question raised by this panel is why are there ducks in that tree in the first place? Shouldn't they be on a pond (preferably one beside a cabin where two bank robbers are hiding out)? (Sorry, but you just don't generally equate ducks with trees, or at least I don't.)
While Bob figures out how to explain the alligator poaching plan to Mary, Mark and Rusty arrive at Fish and Wildlife to pay a visit to Mark's old friend, Cliff, in order to find out the best place to camp (and presumably fish since that was the purpose of the trip). Now, one would think that Mark Trail, seeing as how he lives in Lost Forest, would know where all of the good camping spots in Lost Forest are, but Cliff does have all of the information about where campers have been mauled by bears, attacked by wolves, or seen Sasquatch, so having that inside information could help in deciding where to pitch the tents. Looks like this trip is really starting to come together, but with the potential for a string of alligator poachings, how long will it last?
