That’s burr-densome

Poor Grog. Give him a haircut.

I just got an idea for a new chocolate chip cookie.

Soon he will look like a tumbling tumbleweed when all those seed sprout.

Grog’s hair stylist has done it again. The new Grog.

Burdock’s best with dandelion… A delicious beverage, along with Cream soda, produced by the unfortunately named Corona company…

By the look on the expression on his face, he’s been on the Burdock and dandelion wine…..

Try a glass of Fentimans dandelion and burdock :-)

I hate it when my horse gets them in her mane and tail.

Burdock – Nature’s Velcro!

Grog will, Grog will…bur-dock…

He can be glad it wasn’t jumping Cholla or teddy bear Cholla. That stuff is much nastier.

Well … most of the gals say they like their men burly.

Regular grooming issue with horses that live out.

Well, that’s a bit serendipitous. He’s never looked so well groomed. Might get a date, or at least if he bumps into a hairy girl the burdock might hold her long enough for something to blossom.

I wish they would sterilize niger thistle seeds before they sell them as birdseed. The birds deposit a carpet of them around my fence, bushes, and trees.

Someone needs a full body shave, and we don’t need to see what that looks like.

Not keen on burdock on it´s own but add dandelion and ferment ……

Keep him around when my back is itchy

Gonna take a while for that to grow out.

Me too.

BurdockArctium is a genus of biennial plants commonly known as burdock, family Asteraceae. Native to Europe and Asia, several species have been widely introduced worldwide.People take burdock to increase urine flow, kill germs, reduce fever, and “purify” their blood. It is also used to treat colds, cancer, anorexia nervosa, gastrointestinal (GI) complaints, joint pain (rheumatism), gout, bladder infections, complications of syphilis, and skin conditions including acne and psoriasis.

or a new strain of Covid…..

Grog is a living Swiffer.

Ok, folks, let’s rush out and buy burdock, whatever it is. :) :(

We milked cows for a living when I was growing up. When the cows would get burdock burrs stuck in their tails and then slap you upside the head while swishing said tail, it would get your attention.

Isn’t that a suburb of Bedrock?

Burdock burr is best recognized as a stout, common weed with annoying burrs that stick to animal fur and clothing.

Burdock root has been used as food and medicine for centuries in various ways, including as a diuretic to aid digestion. It comes from the plant burdock that is related to daisies and sunflowers. It’s native to North Asia and Europe, but is grown in other parts of the world, including North America.

In the UK, before Coke, there was Dandelion and Burdock, and it is (was) beautiful. I’m in Australia 55 years now so no idea if it is still a thing.

perceptive toon. Thank you.

Or burdock discovered him.
