Ok... Now that we're all on the same page.
On with the story.

Sam's quicker than I am, since he knew Scott was Brice's half-brother. Or more likely it's just that he's had all the naive beat out of him and I still haven't. In Sam's world you learn to see the worst in people. It can keep you alive, but the down side is you see the worst even when it isn't there, and in yourself too.

I think Sam is tied with The Old Monster Himself for the most interesting character in this story. I wonder if it's going to come out to a duel between the two, and if so, I wonder who survives. Sam would seem to have the advantages-- resources, experience, he knows what Tony can do-- but Tony Ray is a force of nature. And smart, too- pigs is smart; it wouldn't surprise me if Tony was the smarter of the two, although not as well educated of course. But when it comes to education in how dark things can get, nobody knows better than Tony Ray.

I like Sam's ride. "Volvo....Boxy but safe" nothing flashy that attracts undue attention from the locals.
Other than it's a decent ride. Not some beat to death ghetto cruiser.

The car Sam is driving is based on a Volvo C70. Nice car with great handling...something not at all flashy...unless the hard top is down. In the Slop universe, its a Marrs Automotive C700. You might wonder why he has a convertible. Kate really liked it. Also, I am sure Sam has discovered there are times when a car you can leap into could be useful.

With the Maple Log closed, poor ol' Sam will hafta patronize the Awful House just like the rest of us.

Anybody else notice the food trailer sitting behind the gas station?

JJ's Karne K-bob's

And why does that van look familiar?

As I've said in the past, there is NO wasted ink. Ever.

Yes, the trailer could indeed mean something. However good writers/artists also sometimes like to throw in red herrings just to screw with their intended audience.

Freud never talked to the pig. ;-)

For those of you keeping track, Muley has thrown tidbits at us, several arcs in advance.

I wonder what sort of side-options are available with a stack of pancakes in the Slopverse...

If the Maple Log is anything like restaurant franchises in our reality, then their menu will be boiled down the smallest number of items possible with as much broad appeal as possible, to help ensure repeat business. In the Slopverse, organizing such a menu for many different species from many different walks of life would amount to a massive headache.

But it would be interesting to see the results.
