I can't stay silent. Jules has gone too far this time. Normally I think the Sunday Mark Trails are the best, but this one is all wrong. Velella is not a siphonophore, although it used to be classified as one - currently they're considered porpitids, sometimes called chondrophores even though that's an outdated term. Both siphonophores and porpitids are colonial organisms made up of individual zooids with specialized roles that can't survive independent of the colony and appearing to be one cohesive entity, but porpitids are a family in the subclass Anthoathecata, and siphonophores are also in the Hydrozoa class, but they're an Order of the subclass Hydroidolina. Considering Velella and Porpita to be siphonophores simply because they're colonial hydrozoa living on the surface of the ocean like the Man-of-war is incorrect, and the classification I'm laying out here has been a thing since, like, 1954, so long than Jules has been alive.

Normally I'd be like, well, whatever, what does it matter, but this is presented as an educational comic. Other things that annoy me about the specific strip is that Jules repeatedly calls them jellyfish when they don't even resemble jellyfish that closely - certainly much less than a Man-of-war does - and that the focus is entirely on them washing up on beaches without going into a couple of other interesting details to get people interested - like, the velella featured in the comic is actually only half their life cycle, the polyp colony. Colonies asexually release medusa, and when the medusa are sexually mature they reproduce with each other to produce larva that form colonies as they grow into maturity. Each colony is made up of only male or female polyps, so each colony only produces male or female medusa, so one colony can't just reproduce with itself past the one-generation release of medusa.

Idk! They're neat! It feels like Jules just read an article about velella washing up on west coast beaches and then didn't really do any additional research!

I just think it's rude of Jules to call velella jellyfish while only drawing the colonial polyp generation of their two-generation alternating life cycle. At least have a panel showing the life cycle and point to the jellyfish part (the medusa). Yes this is a comic for kids. Yes I can still complain when she calls something a siphonophore that isn't a siphonophore.

We just had an exhibit pass through town of Roy Lichtenstein's early abstract expressionist work, starting from the beginning of his career right up to the precipice of Drowning Girl, etc.

https://museum-exhibitions.colby.edu/explore-roy-lichtenstein-history-in-the-making-1948-1960/

It was neat to see a guy come in on the very tail end of the marketability of one school and find the bridge to the next. Which is to say, everything in the exhibit was more interesting than than work he ended up famous for.

Trust me, those things are bright enough to wake the dead.

We love your family.

Three years ago I got locked out of my apartment after my key fell out of my armband while I was on a run. At the time I was using my old, deactivated cell phone as a music/podcast player, thinking that I didn't want to keep my current phone on me during physical activity for fear of damaging it by falling or dropping it or whatever. It was after 8 PM on a Saturday, the sun was going down fast and I had no spare key hidden anywhere. I knew that my apartment had an emergency lock-out service if you called the office - but the only device I had access to couldn't make calls or texts, just connect to my Wi-Fi network.

Most wireless carriers still offer a weird, largely forgotten system where you can send an email as a text message. I used that to text my mom, thinking "She'll see a text before she would see an email" to say "I am locked out of my apartment and don't have access to my phone. I need you to call [apartment office number] and follow the prompts for emergency maintenance. Please email me when you get this." What followed was an hour of the dumbest back-and-forth possible; mom wouldn't send me an email as requested and instead tried to call/text me multiple times (Which I knew because my Fitbit was connected to my phone - inside my locked apartment - and I'd see the notifications.) I would send her another email-to-text - "I saw that you tried to call. I can't physically access my phone. Please email me." And she would try calling again.

Finally I sent an email saying "Did you make that call? Because if you haven't I need to ask somebody else before my battery dies." And then the reply: "Oh those were all real." As I found out later, even though the email-to-texts were coming from an official AT&T service number, they were showing up on her phone as "Potential Spam," and she didn't want to reply or even send an email because she was convinced that it was some kind of scam.

When I go on a run now, I take my actual phone.

Jules? Half-assing something in Mark Trail? The hell you say.

I think putting that detailed duck so close to "boy do I not give a poo poo" art in panel 1 is another anecdotal evidence nail in the coffin of Jules as a tracer. It really doesn't make sense to nail 80-90% of the panel and then just give up. "What does Happy's head shot look like? I drew it two days ago. Who has time for that?" And not sure why an artist would continually submit bad shots of something they can't draw. Practice in your off time until you got it down? Even Rob Liefeld was smart enough to crop feet out of his art. A shame he struggled to draw most of the human body too.
