No time to write events up, but I bet you more want to know What's Going On In Rex Morgan, M.D.? Did Kelly's Mom order a guy killed? January - March 2025 in my first comic strip plot recap entirely based in the current year. And now please enjoy a double dose of Jungle Jim's pictures.
What's got to be the biggest elevated fixture --- an animatronic one --- is this Robin Hood set, complete with Merry Men and animals all around and everything. You'll see.

Banner for the Jungle Pets with ... huh ... some of those figures look kind of familiar but probably not in an actionable way!
