'''''Mark Trail''''' is one of the [[Print Long Runners]] of newspaper comics, first introduced in 1946 and written by Ed Dodd. 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.
 
It's often poked fun at by [[The Comics Curmudgeon]], and is ripe [[Snark Bait]] due to its over-the-top [[Green Aesop|green aesops]]. Also notable for [[Demonization|demonizing]] the endangered elephant into something that ''is'' a danger to all in one strip.
