The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 06, 2024

Those are nice beaver shots. Thanks!!!

I missed the pun the first time. Check out the sign.

Trees got tongues.

Is this what happened to the Entwives?

Developer’s Nirvana! “Take paradise and put up a parking lot” !

I would like to know what a tree has to do to go to hell.

Might certain species of trees be considered Bad?

Ailanthus altissima, commonly known as tree of heaven “is considered a noxious weed and vigorous invasive species, and one of the worst invasive plant species in Europe and North America. In 21st-century North America, the invasiveness of the species has been compounded by its role in the life cycle of the also destructive and invasive spotted lanternfly.” [Wikipedia]

These trees grew in vacant lots around where I lived. While we didn’t consider them ‘evil,’ we didn’t climb them because the wood was soft, and branches broke easily. ‘Climb-ability’ was our opinion toward friendliness and virtue in trees.

“Is this heaven”? “No, it’s Iowa”. Field of Dreams

The cut was a hatchet angle cut, then became a chain saw flat cut. Must have been too hard to draw.

Spell much?

I didn’t know that trees were evil.

It could’ve been worse. He could’ve landed up in Eaten by voracious termites.

Whew, I’m glad he didn’t portray all the evil that tree did in its youth!

Apparently there’s a poem that is more lovely than this tree.

His roots, bored within Evil…

Rejected children’s book.

Including the U.S. Congress, obviously.

Why didn’t he just ‘leave’?

Ent having a bad day,

The tree huggers won’t like this.

One beaver says “would you like to dine out” to which the other one replied “wood I”!

To end up there, he must’ve been a real ash.
