Before we fall into the hand wringing about the potential outcomes, let’s take a moment to marvel at the artistry in today’s strip. It’s certainly far removed from the style we’ve seen lately.
The shading, the detail and what, just as importantly, is not detailed is masterful.
“Seriously, this undynamic duo is clueless about the locations and sizes of trees in their own backyard where Walt, at least, has presumably lived for decades?? Also, what kind of monster mutant tree IS that?? It doesn’t look like a normal fallen tree, it looks like an alien in an old DOCTOR WHO episode.”

Oh goody, something else for Joel and Rufus to mess up. Would you trust those two halfwits with a chainsaw?

This actually happened to my elderly mother when an ancient (and huge) pecan tree fell in her backyard.
