Lio by Mark Tatulli for March 31, 2016

Are the torches really necessary? The weeds will accidentally cremate themselves.

Hey, the weed killer is flammable (most are), squirt in on them! (One thing though: make sure you’re a yard away from the house).

I think it’s stick a fork in me – I’m done!

Dandelions are wildflowers to me.

Crabgrass, dandelions, creeping Charlie, and thistle, All thugs,

The dandelions need to remember their still on the menu for many folks especially in the south. Dandelions in salads, dandelion wine…. mmmm good.

That mob of weeds are the petulant Trump fans from yesterday.

No weeds were harmed in the making of this comic strip……..

Bring it on!

I think those weeds are meant to represent Trump or Clinton, therefore I am grievously offended that Mr. Tatulli has turned Leo into a political strip and will never gaze upon this comic strip ever again!!!! I may even sue for pain & suffering.

(Sorry, I guess I’m still feeling the effect from yesterday’s strip and the ensuing commenting cry babies.)

Better spray quickly, Lio!

Can’t find any plant by that name in my searching online. Did get this: The real triffids: The fast-sprawling weed, Japanese knotweed, Fallopia japonica, could tie the country up in knots The real triffids: The fast-sprawling weed that could tie the country up in knots (England being the country in question)It grows at nearly a foot a week, punches through concrete and strangles any plant in its path.

Don’t just stand there, Lio! Hesitation is oft a fatal flaw. Spray them! Spray them all, and let the devil sort the consequences!

Knotweed? Try kudzu! Check out http://www.se-eppc.org/northcarolina/2009/RichardsonKudzuandJapknotweed.pdf which has some photos of kudzu which has “eaten” buildings and a parked car!
