The tree is just sleeping.

So it really DID make a sound after all!

“Capisce?”

So… is the tree that is trying to keep it all quiet… the one who gave him the ax??? (Smirk!)

Blankety-Blank lumberjacks!

Lief always knew he’d be the fall guy..

Leave him.

Taken out, root and branch….

Hear what?

I’m glad that has finally been settled.

What is this, the tree Mafia?

For your own protection, all you trees should be shouting about your fallen comrade, before he becomes extremely DRY & Flammable, in which case you will all likely go up in smoke.

Even the forest from the trees are muted…

But he saw everything and he’s going to say everything to everyone.

Somehow, I knew this wood happen!

Looks tree is dead drunk from all that fermented sap he’s been carrying around.

They need to have branches waving around. . .they look weird. . .

Looks like he’s not about to tell anyone either.

That is one of the great questions of our time.

Well, I’ll be a son-of-a-beech!

If a tree falls in the woods and there is nobody…

TREES GOT TONGUES

If a tree falls in the forest and your wife isn’t there to hear it, are you still wrong?

That is good artwork on the eyes.

(senses redundancy in the dialogue of the cartoon)

It’s this kind of reasoning that some lawyers use – extended to the extreme – if there are no witnesses, there wasn’t even a crime. [Presumed innocent in a court of law (before a trial) doesn’t mean someone’s not guilty.]

You didn’t hear it, you didn’t see it. You won’t say nothin’ to no one, ever in your life…..

Don’t axe, don’t fell… ☺

Well, that answers THAT.

Wow! Ent mafia is strong in this place.

You sure he isn’t just “planking?”

Eek! It sounded like Velcro, that ripping sound.

Root rot.. an embarrassing condition that happens in the best of tree families.

The tree got whacked!!!

If he didn’t hear nothin’ then that means he heard somethin’.

“If a tree falls in the woods, and there’s no one there to hear it, how will the environmentalists react?

It’s the ancient tree spirits talking, but we can nom longer hear them, sadly. BTW, what’s the sound of one tree falling?

“If a tree falls in the forest, do the other trees talk about it?”

Double negative!

It will probably take some intensive study, to get to the root of why he fell over.

I think we found an angry Ent.
