** Ed Dodd was very talented when it comes to drawing animals, but sometimes his rendition of people... suffered. This was one of the reasons why the shots in the frame were zoomed in on an animal with the speech bubbles coming from an unseen human to the side of the panel, giving it the unintentionally hilarious effect of looking like the animals are the ones spewing exposition.
** Dodd's eventual replacement, Jack Elrod, was even ''worse'' at drawing humans -- his rendition of Rusty for instance has been nicknamed "the [[EldritchAbomination Elrod Abomination]]" by more than a few. Fortunately, Elrod was at least in the same league as Dodd was when it comes to drawing wildlife. The next artist, James Allen was somewhere in between Dodd and Elrod, with his human characters tending to look a little goofy, but at least stopping short of being outright terrifying. Jules Rivera, who followed on from Allen, has mostly managed to avert this trope by switching up the strip's art style to a highly stylized one which makes little attempt to make the characters look realistic.

It's often poked fun at by people such as ''Blog/TheComicsCurmudgeon'' due to its over-the-top {{green aesop}}s. Also notable for [[{{Demonization}} demonizing]] the endangered elephant into something that ''is'' a danger to all in one strip.

''Mark Trail'' is one of the PrintLongRunners of newspaper comics, first introduced in 1946, initially written and drawn by Ed Dodd (Jack Elrod succeeded Dodd in 1978, and James Allen in turn took over from Elrod in 2014, followed by Jules Rivera in 2020). The comic focuses on Mark Trail, a photojournalist and outdoorsman for a magazine. His assignments always lead him into danger and misadventures in the Lost Forest National Forest. Joined by his friends and family there, most strips had him discovering some environmentally unfriendly evil-doer that he would punch out, and then tell about the endangered animal of the week.

** After Jules Rivera took over, her first set of strips establishes that the current Mark is actually Mark Trail IV, with his ancestors representing each of the three previous artists who drew the strip. The James Allen version is Mark Trail III (aka Happy Trail), who is depicted as a polluting villain who screwed over the current Mark's childhood friend out of their farm land, likely a reference to James Allen being a climate change denier.
