New Mark Trail is ruining ‘Mark Trail’

Reading the Morning Sentinel is a key part of my morning routine, and after reading about the woes of the world I look to the comics for a respite, a moment to be entertained with humor and, at times, contemplation. The old Mark Trail was part of that, the storyline a little corny and dated but he was a forthright, true-blue overall “good guy,” and if nothing else, the illustrations were beyond compare. The new Mark Trail? Awful!
I actually Googled articles on the debut of the new Mark Trail; he is to be a “champion for environmentalism.” In his first effort to save the manatees, he punches his father, steals his boat, runs from the police and crashes the boat. A hell of an example this “champion” set for the environmentalism. The new Cherry has a bigger role, an improvement over the dutiful wife, but we are introduced to her as she brawls with her sister.
