Overboard by Chip Dunham for September 19, 2024

Nate is learning that trees don’t like the coming of winter anymore than he does.

Hey, Nate – Maybe if you got a small paintbrush, and a gallon of metallic, mint-green paint…

Good morning, crew!

Corn has ears.

I really like Nate, but he’s not a fast learner. There’s something to be said about persistence, but trying to convince the leaves to remain green and to stay on the trees year after year just hasn’t worked, and he should probably recognize it’s lost cause by now.

Sorry, Nate.

A perfect demonstration of how human minds work. Shout it loud enough and it will come true, right? We see that in action every day.

Good morning Crew!

Where are you Captain?And how is Mama and the pups?

Nate, you had your summer. Now it’s my turn to have what I want. Autumn and Winter, come on down!!

Today, he should at least try to talk like a pirate!

Oh Nate, we just have to accept this, as horrible as it is :(

Leaves fall to protect the tree. Leaves constantly transpire water and require energy. Shedding them when there is not enough daylight to make them useful is a important evolutionary survival feature.

Nate did you screen that Autumn guy??

The light is so beautiful in autumn, along with the leaves showing off their “true” selves. Wouldn’t trade it, even if it means that February is somewhere down the road.

leaves have no ears, but they’re turning a deaf ear to nate’s pleas…

Today is the Official Talk like a Pirate Day AArrrrh not rrr That is a car that wont start .

I hear you, Nate, but the leaves don’t.

Good night, Crew!

I really enjoy seeing all the nice colors on the autumn leaves. Just wish the cooler weather didn’t have to come with them …

Good Evening, Crew.
