Rusty safe at home with Cherry and Doc (and with a neat cast on his ankle), Mark dives right into another adventure after a call from his buddy Tim. We are also reminded that Mark writes for
Woods And Wildlife Magazine (even though we haven't actually seen him write an article in quite a while), so this trip can be written off for tax purposes. Unfortunately, it would seem that the Jack Elrod Ball couldn't make such a claim and was forced to take Eagle Airlines, which apparently will get you there, but might or might not drop you a few times along the way. (I'm sure everything will turn out all right.) Meeting up with Tim, we get the first clue about what this "adventure" will be about. (I wonder if it will also include exciting City Council meetings.)
So Mark is there to help save a wilderness area from commercial development and speed boats and dirt bikes and loud obnoxious people? I guess I can support that. What I really want to know, though, is how long old Tim there has been talking since it looks like the meeting moved out of his office and onto the street. (Perhaps there was a fire drill today, or maybe they needed to get some fresh air, or maybe Tim is afraid that his office has been bugged, or maybe the artist got sick of drawing office furniture and wanted to draw some more of the invisible people that always seem to show up whenever Mark visits an office of some kind.) Somehow, I don't think we'll ever find out, but at least we're being introduced to the as yet unseen Senator Wallace who seems to be opposed to froggies and cute little forest critters. (Ooh, I already hate him so much!)
Luckily for Mark, fighting for the side of all that is good is another Senator (who hasn't been given a name, but who I shall call Hawkins in honor of the hawk in panel two) who might be on the side of Tim and all of his buddies (but remember, sir, might is only maybe). Looks like there's going to be a showdown in the Senate (and if we're really lucky a showdown in the forest because that showdown is likely to be a lot more exciting). I can hardly wait to see what happens next.
