Overboard by Chip Dunham for October 13, 2023

I give up…is that a weed or a dog-snake?

Climate warming sure makes for strong plants in the fall.

Good morning, Crew!

Offhand, I’d say this isn’t one of Chip’s finer moments. Oh well, nobody bats a thousand.

Where does Charlie get his seed from. One of those might a lot of fun for my pitbull.

Some of the plants in my garden can get really unruly!! Right now my horseradish and artichoke plants are huge!!

Good Friday morning everyone.

Audrey?

Artichokes gone to weed.

Good morning Crew!

Okay, just in case ya’ll’re bored … .

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Little Suzy, having washed her hair, hung it out to dry while she gathered the pigs and rounded up their eggs. Unaware that a pack of wild dogweed had mysteriously sprouted overnight, the bald Little Suzy stepped unsuspectingly in the middle of the noxious weeds.

Outraged, they barked insanely, and vowing death to the intruder, they fired off a volley of … stink (?), um … uh … a barrage of something really smelly (?), — ?

Okay, got it: … Outraged, they barked insanely and bombarded Little Suzy with a volley of whatever. Startled, Little Suzy whirled around and went eyeball-to-eyeball with weeds. Growing taller by the second, the noxious weeds fired off another round of “name that stink.” Not to be outdone, Little Suzy quickly turned her back and let off a huge cloud of her own internal gases.

Clutching their throats, the dogweed gasped and wheezed, collapsed and died. The moral of the story: Never mess with a kid who washes her hair and hangs it out to dry that never eats anything other than beans, cabbage and onions. (Thus Ends Our Public Service Message For Today. You’re Welcome.)

Time to call tech support at Monsanto…

Whoa! Wouldn’t wanna meet that … plant? … creature? … thing? … in a dark alley.

Happy Friday, Crew.
