I know none of these people. I do however know there was a local restaurant where the staff acted out strips.

I only read this thread for Mark Trail. Not kidding.

And Kelly's eyes are firmly fixed on his junk.

So is Mark more surprised that its Kelly or that its not Matt greeting him out of the shower?

I also want that top word balloon in panel two to be the heron(?) speaking like a deranged parrot.

I think that's Mark's familiar. It speaks when he does, like a walkie-talkie.

Fuck, that would make the strip even better, if Mark had an unholy supernatural relationship to the animals. It'd also explain a lot of the surreal scenarios.

I wouldn't mind seeing a cross between Mark Trail and Morrison's Animal Man.

I've never checked out the latter, but when I listened to Morrison's book on superheroes I was curious. Would you recommend?

I'm only six issues in but it's quite interesting. Wolt may have more info than me. I've heard that the more recent Lemire run is really good.

The only Animal Man stuff I know is Morrison’s run (which is great) and 52, which is also great for different reasons.

If I dip my toe at the beginning, will that work? Or is it something that you have to chug thru, like, a dozen issues before it clicks?

Yeah, Lemire is the 52 run.

Regarding dipping your toe in—it could be said that I'm at that point now, having only read the first collection, and I really like it. But from what I understand, it starts to get a lot more "meta" after that—the artist making himself known through the pages of the book. I don't know much, but take the cover of the second collection as maybe a clue:

Image

Apparently this "meta" stuff ends as Morrison's run does, but I'm interested because Jamie Delano comes on board after a short run each by Peter Milligan (who I traditionally don't like) and Tom Veitch (relation to Rick, I assume), and I really like his work on Hellblazer.
