The leaves are back on the tree? That’s a relief! For a moment I was afraid Mr. Batiuk would impose a little continuity in this strip, but I see he’s in his usual unique form today.
I takes a cartoonist as brave as Tom to write an 8-week arc about basically nothing, then expect everyone to know the only thing Tom knows, a “how to do the browser monitor turn command thingie” to read something that we all know won’t be funny. Kudos, Tom!
Years ago, I spent a morning drinking my coffee and watching a neighbor up on his ladder with his blower/vac trying to suck the leaves from his tree. This insanity lasted for a little over an hour and ended when his wife got home from the grocer and started yelling at him for making a fool of himself. It truly saddened me when he moved as he was a continuous source of entertainment for the neighbors. I did consider him a genius however when he installed one of those bird feeders that spin the squirrels off into the sky when they hop on it. I think it was called a Droll Yankee.

Anyone out there willing to risk their cervical spine to read today’s non-joke?
Also, why not spell the tree guy’s name “Bunyan” while you’re reaching for the low-hanging leaves, Batiuk?

Injecting super glue into the trunk will certainly harm the tree, and the leaves will still fall… but only for one more time.

I guess Batty thinks that everybody still reads a newspaper that you can turn 90°…

It will, however, kill the tree, which I guess solves the problem anyhow.

I always ponder if it’s worth a neck sprain to read these. I should know better by now.

What’s with the weird panel arrangement? Is Tom worried that he’ll lose his Pulitzer prize to Slylock Fox?
