Mark Trail, - Comic Strip Hero, Comic Strip Fan

Jack Allen introduced a curious interlude into the Mark Trail comic strip mid-February, 2019. Mark & family had just finished up an adventure in the Yucatan Peninsula. The following week a new storyline would start in the Bahamas.

As our heroes flew off, Mark steers the conversation into an unusual topic.

The awards referred to are the Reuben Awards, given by the National Cartoonists Society It's an interesting overview of the role of comic strips have had in American society. I don't know who's up for a Reuben award in 2019, but I hope Jack Allen's on the list!

BTW - the Jungle Jim strip referred to ran from 1934-1954. It was originally drawn by Alex Raymond. So yeah, Rusty, it was so cool.
