Lio by Mark Tatulli for March 27, 2020

When did Lio go to Middle-Earth?

Where do you get one of those? I want one.

For a garden you probably would want an Entwife.

You don’t plant Ents, they plant themselves.

And they would much rather be with trees…

Ent that always the way?

He’s not so Groot.

I’m sure there’s room for both.

They make great scarecrows.

I’m hoping that Lio checked with the gas company before he started digging!

A Wizard of OZ, wicked witch apple tree

Anyone thing frame 1 has a little Don Martin to it?

Looks like Dad brought a snack for Treebeard.

I seem to recall that Ents can walk.

Where are the entwives?

Dad has on gardening socks?

Give it up Lio, it won’t thrive. It needs an Ent-wife to cross pollinate and they are extinct.

Admirable, Lio, but your Ent shouldn’t get in the way of Dad’s veggie gardening. You’ll be wanting to eat some of the good, fresh produce (if it gets a chance to grow).

Let’s hear it for Dad!
