Evildoers In The Lost Forest
I haven't read the comic strip Mark Trail for years. Last time I did, he was busting poachers with a knockout punch to the jaw, just in time to save the pet deer of some wide eyed urchin. This morning, for some strange reason, my gaze happened upon the strip during my daily scan of the comics page, and I was a little shocked to see what appeared to be a surface to air missile about to be deployed. I did a quick double take, rubbed my bleary eyes, and checked again.
Sure enough Mark is on the verge of spoiling the plans of a couple of terrorists to down a plane with a SAM. Of course his efforts will require a little help from nature, in this case a mother bear and its cub. Don't look for a quick conclusion however. A little back reading shows that this terrorist plot storyline goes way back to at least early February.
Maybe it's just me but the two terrorists in question don't exactly fit the profile. One looks a bit like Jesse Ventura, the other resembles the original G.I. Joe doll.
Terrorists and political correctness running rampant in the Lost Forest? This ain't your father's Mark Trail.
