We love castor trees for their beautiful blooms and stately stalks, but universally hated for their innocuous castor oil. The real threat is their sinister nerve weapon of mass destruction called ricin. It’s surprising how many people complement us on them.

That’s my brother! Any wonder he’s single? And as for a box of half-eaten chocolates, that’d be no, but a half-eaten box of chocolates, sure!

I think this is quite rare – one of the few times Watterson showed anyone outside of the regular cast of characters. Cool.

Perhaps a Rafflesia. They are the biggest flower in the world, but also very stinky. I think that would work.
