@SUSAN NEWMAN: Happy Chanukah. I want to suggest that you also submit any general comments you may have to a group of us in ESPANOL, “Benitin y Eneas,” and any comments on serialized comics from outside of GoComics, such as “Rex Morgan,” “Apt. 3 G,” “Mark Trail,” and/or “Mary Worth.” We need fresh volunteers there – from Arye Uygur, a fellow New Yorker-Bronxite
It’s fine. The guy just told it like it is. He didn’t appear to be making fun of John. John is a dentist and doesn’t need to know everything else. He probably chops down a tree once a year (at most). This one was funny, and not in a bad way at all.
@Raspberryice54: Glad to meet another Bronxite. I still live there: 3 stops from Yankee Stadium, but would you believe I’ve never been inside Yankee Stadium? I love the Art-Deco buildings on the Grand Concourse and now the Bronx River looks like a country stream – no more garbage.
Glad to see they are cleaning up many waterways (but I don’t drink the tap water even though I read the reports every year and know it is called “safe”) I used to walk along the Desplaines River in IL when a kid (to get to the roller skating rink on Saturday) and it was very dirty. Now I live in PHX and we natives don’t llike the taste of the tap water. I buy refills from stores with big filtration units that use about 7 more stages of filtration including RO and UV which are most important to me (for heavy metals and bacteria). I have developed the ability to taste good water. And trees…. I only had fresh ones a couple of years back in IL when my kids were little; such work to vacuum up the needles and here in the dry SW a fire hazard.
A little late, as far as comments on this strip go… But a chain saw or hand saw would be better than an axe for more practical reasons also! An axe-cut tree would be quite a bit wobbly in the stand!

That will kill it before they get home. Never chop it when it’s frozen. Freeze it AFTER you cut.

Sometimes the old way is best, sometimes not. That’s why God invented chainsaws.
