Well it's Funny Onesie Wednesday again and this week I've decided to showcase a really brilliant example of onesie humor. If you aren't familiar with the comic strip Mark Trail you soon will be.
Here's a link that will take you to the most current strip.
Here's an interesting Wikipedia article on Mark Trail that gives the history of the comic strip much better than I could. The article quotes Jack Hill, son of Tom Hill, who did most of the original drawings until he died in 1978, afterwhich understudy Jack Elrod took over and sorta blew it.
Jack Elrod is the current cartoonist of Mark Trail and he includes his trademark "signature" front and center in every strip. That and the fact that he re-uses drawings, even entire panels, sometimes only days apart have made him stand out as one of the most confusing artists in the funny pages. Is he lazy, egotistical or just forgetful? Is he himself mocking his own strip? There's debate. There are also a lot of followers. They call themselves Trailheads and you can meet them here. I'm not suggesting you stay long, just telling you where you can find out more.
Whether Mr. Elrod intends the comics to be funny or not, they are. And the fact that someone actually made this onesie is even funnier. - Stephanie S.
