Crazy fucking art.

February 19, 2009


Panel 1: Okay, so I was reading this morning's strip when the thought occurs to me that this scene looks familiar. I went back three whole days to the 16th and, shonuff, Panel 1 shows Mark and Cherry talking to Patty Frampton:

And here's today's Panel 1, just for comparison:

Now, is it me, or have the Trails re-decorated in the intervening three days (or 12 hours in the Trailoverse)? Buffet replaced with snowshoes? Check. Loveseat replaced with armchair? Check. Bestiality-loving blond replaced with silent Howdy-doody? Check. Stank-ass dog on stained yellow rug? Darn. Still there. Anyway, I see three options here. This is either a nice little continuity error, the Trail cabin is muy fucking grande, or the Trails are really good at quick-change redecoration.

Panel 2: Good lord, Howdy-doody has got one giant weiner! Or maybe he's just throwing another mudfish on the fire. Also, can someone please explain to me the geometry of this particular perspective? If Mark was sitting to the right of the fireplace in Panel 1, I'm hard-pressed to explain we can see him in front of it in Panel 2. Perhaps more of that quick-change redecoration?


Panel 3: Yeah, Mark. Real upset. Isn't this a good time for you to launch into an extended soliloquy on the perils of keeping wild animals as pets (not to mention lovers)?
