I didn’t know trees had traitors living amongst them.

That’s why a “tree removal service” is necessary.

He’ll do it on a larch.

Don’t worry – his bark is worse than his blight.

This is weird. I’m clicking Like on cartoons that don’t show up on the screen right now.

Hide! It’s the ‘branch’ manager!

Someone’s headed for a pine box. (This would be so much funnier if they were pine trees.)

I thought that was illegal on the planet of the sentient walking tree creatures.

When is leaving?

anyone having problems viewing the comics? appears was OK early in the morning but after 4:30AM CT, blank within the different comics.

I thought they were using unmarked vans.

“Bring out your dead!”

A tree with a pet dog? That’s just asking for trouble.

Is that the opening sequence from that classic horror movie The Pruning?

He’s got a contract to whack somebody.

In the fall they will need Rogain

Business really picks up up after Christmas.

I saw this movie!

Spoiler Alert He gets burned in the end.

Not sure I get it. Why would a tree be looking to remove a tree? UNLESS, he represents the INS.

I don’t get it…..I’m stumped

Don’t get into a van with a stranger, even if he offers you fertilizer.

The ents go marching . . .

In the U.K. a tree removal service would just be moving the tree to another location. (What we call “moving vans”; they call “removal vans”.)

Funeral homes sometimes use “removal services” for the pickup, transportation, and delivery of remains. But they don’t advertise on the side of the van!

Shouldn’t that be a beaver?

Look at all the tree houses, I hope they aren’t on a dead ent street.
