Mark Trail. Lonely nights on the road, saving animals and dealing with the man. Sometimes you just need to find a hotel. A little out of the way place, off the interstate.

And sometimes you might miss your wife. Yes, Mark Trail’s got a wife. And when he’s on the road a whole lot, he misses certain things about her. Yep, he misses his wife.

So he calls the local ASPCA. He and them have a deal going, a little under-the-table fun for out-of-town trips. He gives them the password, “Sunday Funnies,” and the weight of the “pet” he would like to visit his hotel room. Woe be to the poor clerk on duty when Mark calls up and says a low number, like “22.” It makes him feel guilty.

Luckily, Mark’s called in with the password and a large number. In fact, the number’s so big that the clerk just grabbed the biggest dog he could find, the biggest dog that wouldn’t be missed for a few hours. Biggest St. Bernard in the place.

And that’s the dog that’s in the foreground, like Mrs. Robinson, while Mark’s relaxing on the bed. High on quaaludes.

Sinner.
