Poor Dan! He’s wearing a cancer schmatte. And speaking of cancer and headwear, I hadn’t noticed ’til today that Les’ manly adventurer hat has a pink headband. And speaking of colors: has anyone else noticed that the sky in these Africa strips has been a weird orangey-yellow?

Kitten Kaboodle
The ascent has not even begun yet, but I’m already getting a sense that between Les’ annoying schtick and Dan smuggling in his own fauna, James’ patience with this batch of travelers is beginning to wear thin.
Kitty-manjaro
To borrow a comment from The Comics Curmudgeon:

July 6th, 2012 at 8:15 amFW: On some level I have to admire the incredible condescension of a writer who thinks a one-in-a-lifetime trip to Africa isn’t sufficient to sustain reader interest. Nope, better throw an abandoned kitten in there! Got to keep Granny Margaret reading.
But that’s no ordinary kitten! He’s able to keep pace with a Land Rover! Step on it, James!
Les is a Wimp
Behold Mount Kilimanjaro! Thankfully Batiuk took a little more time rendering its majesty today than he did earlier this week (see detail, right), and it actually looks quite impressive. Also impressive is the spear that James is toting; probably just something he uses to keep the tourists in line. And Summer, naturally, is representin’ in her Westview hoodie. Not shown in today’s tableaux are the 46 porters who will schlep all the gear for Les and his merry band. Les’ punchline, though lame, is met with appreciative smirks all around: are they smirking with him or at him?
Lay Off, MacDouche
Summer: “Dad…the line from Macbeth is ‘Lay on, MacDuff’, not ‘Lead on…’ You’re an English teacher? That’s a sad comment on the American education system.”
