Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for January 08, 2023

Horace, you joiced just last week! You’ve re-joiced!

Trees are more trouble to Horace than elevators are. He can’t chop down grown ones, and can’t grow a little one (except for a great root system)…

Bra-VO!

He is a lumberjack horse is he OK?

Worked hard broke the 4th wall away…

Oops, he did it again…

See the tree, how it’s not grown

But my friend it won’t be long

Till it turns big

I laughed at him and he got mad,

Got to the problem’s “root” instead

Still just a twig

Then the first growth came and he ran out

To fell the tree anyway

So he would chop then

Came runnin’ out all excited,

Till the panel slipped and hurt himself

I laughed when the story repeated again…

Reminds me of Pando, which I only learned about recently.

He got to the root of the problem and didn’t even know it.

Those roots looks like cracks in the ground, if the big one in the first panel had the same kind of roots that could explain a lot

I hope you are all well today. Personally, I am wellish.

C1 “Look out below”…!

C2- why not try peating…?

C3 – Horace. suggest you look for the root cause of your problem…!

Horace should be careful to what he is planting, this one could be the root of all evil

Planted the fool thing upside down.. if, he was going for a nice bonsai

I’m rooting for you Horace.

Years ago, the roots from the trees wrapped around the sewer system and cracked a clay elbow in my crawl space! The city fixed it ..NO CHARGE‼️

He may be discouraged but the tree is rooting for him. :)

It’s time for Horace to examine the situation and root out the source of the problem.

they spend the first 3 years putting down a good root system to hold up the trunk when it starts to grow & fill out… not wasted time for the tree…

Slow growth Oak.

It’s the stillwater tree.
