As long as we can keep Grytpype-Thynne and Moriarity under control, I’m for it. And I pledge one photograph of an American five-dollar bill to make it happen!
I have been warning people about this apocalyptic scenario for a while now, with a song called “The Trees are Coming”. Vegetables don’t know the meaning of mercy.
It’s not like they don’t grow new ones themselves every year.
Humans have been great friends to some species of plant! Heck, without us, the avocado would be on the road to extinction. Guacamole makes saving a species taste good!
And who would teach him? He won’t believe the lies any human teachers would tell him and I doubt there are many snakes with an education degree. Scratch that. In the Skin Horse universe, there probably are. And they probably have their own union to boot.
Somebody must’a—seems like there are thousands of young anthropomorphic creatures running ’round in need of someplace where their parents can stash them for a few hours during the day…
Alfie’s been playing too much of an outdated version of Dwarf Fortress, it seems.
Or Warhammer 40k, I can see him as an Ork guy…
Necrons or dark eldar. Note the black hoodie and moody poetry.
I just looked it up, the term is allellopathy. It’s has to do with what goldenrod does to pine trees.
And apparently they synthesize phenol to kill their enemies. Are we sure GODOT isn’t secretly one of them?
So this is Nature’s version of revenge porn?
All these years I’ve been doing it wrong…
So, if Alfie’s still our “wise child” for the scene, it looks to me like Shelby’s infected without being zombified — an asymptomatic carrier.
Happy belated birthday to Shaenon, I spent yesterday struggling with computer problems. (The technician made things worse. 🙁 )
Don’t let him watch “The Invaders”! They look human, and *do* come from spores!
I’m hoping the trees are innocent… enough plant enemies in the strip already…
If only The Famous Eccles could cross the franchise wall… I can hear him singing now… “I talk to the trees… that’s why they put me away…”!
Goon Show reference for the win!

And why would they? Hell, we regard cutting their genitals off as a romantic gesture.

Do Pod People come from spores?
Now I really think the cobras ought to be in school. Alfie really needs to take Biology 101 and Sex Ed…

I’ve gotta look into the Scrivnarium more deeply…
Trust me kid, you don’t want to know how humans really reproduce! 😮
“So, sonny, what did you learn in school today?”
“Ma, we learned that babies are brought by this bird called the stork, who drops the baby down the chimney and—”
“Wait a minute, wait a minute—surely, Sonny, they didn’t teach you that in school today?”
“Well, no, but if I told you what they told me, you wouldn’t believe me.”
To be fair, there /is/ a fungus that needs both pine and goldenrod in order to mature and reproduce: http://na.fs.fed.us/spfo/pubs/misc/red%20pine%20pocket%20guide/pnr4.htm
Now THAT is really interesting
And scary!
Now you might be wondering why a cobra who doesn’t know how humans produce would have any interest in Bubbles. And there are two reasons for this.
1- She is a robot
2- He is a teenager
