The Mark Trail comic strip is a continuing daily insult to everyone who loves the outdoors. When Jules Riviera took over the long-running (70 years) syndicated Mark Trail strip, she vowed to bring the artwork and story lines into the 21st century. Unfortunately, judging by each day’s panels, Rivera seems intent on converting Trail into a scraggly-looking, emotionally insecure loser, rather than the strong outdoor-loving hero who inspired generations to love the environment so dear to most Mainers. For the sake of those of us who love the outdoors, please drop this strip immediately and replace it with anything else. ~ Ed Linz, Greenville
