Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 22, 2014

I have seen it myself.

This is where the infamous tree was introduced? Doesn’t look too threatening without its leaves…

If a tree is well-nourished from other sources, it will use a kite to snack on when it gets the munchies. :-)

Did you see the tree eat the kite, Chuck?

Excretes the ‘bones’ as new twigs

Who knows ?8^)

This tree eats kites! Even in winter!

These trees will also catch and eat rockets..\\//_

We have a tree here that caught some balloons last year and I sure wish it would hurry up and eat them!

That tree is a son of a Beech!

I think this is where Lucy charges him a nickel.

I’ve seen something similar with power lines and tennis shoes.

Here’s a solution: Don’t fly kites around it.

The closest I’ve seen to a kite-eating tree was when I visited my aunt in a village near Athens, and some flew a kite right on some medium voltage power lines (20 kV) and there was a very loud bang! and the fuse for the whole village blew, and power was off until the linemen came to change the fuse! I hope that whoever flew that kite had the sense to release hte rope when it went on the power line. I also think he got a fine and a warning, at the very least.

Tree shaming.

These kids are only about three feet tall, so the tree can only be six feet. ANY adult could reach up and rescue the kite.

Wait – I forgot there aren’t any adults in this world!

wonder if Charlie knows how to use a saw and cut down the tree????!!!!!

but like I said in my comment does Charlie know how to use a saw or ax?!!!!!

Please how can I read? I can only see the crop version
