Right : it would be quite easy to spot someone whistling, even with those bushes around him, at about 85 ft (26 m) distance.
Still it is difficult for an author to create funny and yet realistic fiction.

Also, the NIST goon squad there is only 84.48 feet off from the perp’s location…

In the comic, he looks to be about 20ft away, maybe. The last two panels are feet apart (same bush, same bank) lol.

In a jungle (that supposed to be a jungle, isn’t it? it does look like a movie jungle), it’s not easy at all.

As long as the person fleeing is the one using the survey feet, the pursuers will never actually reach them.

Ah yes. Zeno’s left foot.
