Camera in hand, Mark enters The Forbidden Shed Of Doom where he finds all sorts of boxed up animal meat and immediately comes to the conclusion that much of it, if not all, is illegal. Oh boy. Looks like someone is in trouble, and that someone may be Mark, for as he takes a few pictures for evidence, a mysterious woman steps onto the scene. (I sure hope that The Jack Elrod Ball warns him in time.)
Mark, consumed by his curiosity over the mysterious storehouse of illegal game meat, and the fact that there appear to be quite a few boxes with the name of Senator Wallace's restaurant on them, doesn't realize someone is sneaking up on him until it's far too late. (He also didn't realize that he had been moving out onto the dock. Mark, dear, that camera of yours probably has some sort of zoom on it, which means that you don't have to be a mile away for that close-up shot.) Looks like there's another Parker on the scene and this one is packing heat. Oh Ma Parker, did you learn nothing from Batman and Robin? (I guess not.)
Suddenly seeing what's happening on shore, Joe and Moe cut their harassment of Buzz short in order to rush to Ma's side, leaving behind the wonder that is panel one. Wonder, you say? Well, I don't know about you, but even though I now realize that Joe and Moe are looking at Mark and Ma (who is apparently named Gladys) through the windshield of their boat, I initially thought that the two on shore were inside of some sort of glass tent or greenhouse. (Actually, that would have been kind of neat, especially if said greenhouse contained man-eating plants.) Oh well. This whole thing kind of makes me feel sorry for Joe and Moe. I mean, they seem to really enjoy pushing people around and what with the sudden appearance of Mark, they won't be able to do that with Buzz. (They will, however, attempt to swamp Buzz's little canoe or tip it over with their wake because that's just the sort of guys that they are, so I guess that's a little consolation.) I sure hope Mark was keeping an eye on the water. His one on one fight with Ma, er, Gladys, is about to get really lopsided.
