Monty by Jim Meddick for May 23, 2022

No net gain there

Coastal redwood trees can grow 3 – 10 feet per year, under the right conditions….

The first time he tried, they were still in their nursery pots.

A hammock with training wheels.

Stay-cables bracing the trees outward, Monty, ya nitwit.

Do many of you, like me, skip this column for a week when they run the kid and butler? I just don’t find it funny.

I planted two shade trees for my patio, just at hammock distance apart. Now they’re big and sturdy enough. The mosquitos, though, have claimed my back yard.

Odd – the hammock was above the ground when I approached it…

Those aren’t redwoods.

Javanese bamboo can grow up to 6 inches a day.

5/23/22 – so where is yesterday’s comic?

Monty, you youthful tree-slaying, lazy lard-butt, you! Go get it yourself and give them a break (or, more precisely, a not-break)….
