Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for June 24, 2017

Let Cliff do the interrogation of the suspect’s offspring!

He will crack them for sure!

I’m starting to develop an allergy to nuts…

Profiling nut bearing trees goes against the grain.

Say, weren’t some of those jokes used yesterday by us?

It was Professor Plumtree, with the candlestick, in the woodshop.

The killer is hiding among the visitors. They can’t see the tree for the forest.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it was herbicide.

“If a tree falls in a forest planet and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”

So, what do they do now that their leader has been planted?

The elm looks suspicious. Slippery

But I think they should leave this to the professionals. Call the detective branch.

There are a lot of nuts out there…

some dangerous splinter groups….

but no one roots them out.

The AuthoriTrees just gather clues and phylum away…

while we pine for the fallen.

And then there’s the possibility of robbery…

What was dug up on that?

I mean, did anybody even count his rings?

I’m so sycamore ineptitude!

He always wanted a family. Now he’s got crazy squirrels.

True fact – walnut trees emit a chemical called juglone that acts as a natural herbicide to prevent other plants from growing underneath them and taking some of the water and fertilizer. There are whole gardening articles dedicated to “what you can grow in the juglone zone”. So yes, it probably was the walnut tree!

Was there any bad sap between him and the walnut?

Time to branch off to a new story…

I wonder what Twiggy would think about all this?

He planted the seed of the idea.

Poor guy was beaten to a pulp; has anyone snooped about the local newspaper office (The Daily Soylent Green)
