The trees

A character in 6 comics.

They are moody. In Fall, they’re slumping. In Winter, they’re unburdened. In Spring, they have growing pains. In Summer, they’re feeling themselves. They have all the feels.

Facing Reality

Oct 2, 2023

SQUIRREL (in verse): Fall trees shed their leaves, And they face reality, Brave and unburdened.
ANN THE TREE: (sigh) Kevin, I'm 45 years old. It's time to get real. I will NEVER be a child prodigy.
KEVIN THE TREE: A prodigy at what, Ann? ANN THE TREE: I don't know. I never had talent or committed or practiced or actually focused on anything.
KEVIN THE TREE: Well, you know... it's all politics. ANN THE TREE: Yes! Yes it is. THANK you, Kevin! THANK you!

Winter Trees

Dec 18, 2022

SQUIRREL (thinking): Winter trees have no leaves. Naked. Bare. Exposed.
CARLOS THE TREE: It’s true! Here I am, world! Know my truth! I’ve never liked this tire swing, and I don’t care who knows it! RAFA THE TREE: We ALL know it, Carlos.
CARLOS THE TREE: But did you know that with each swing, the rope digs deeper into my branch, and in doing so, my very soul? RAFA THE TREE: Yes. We do. LUCIA THE TREE: We READ your poetry blog, Carlos.
CARLOS THE TREE: YOU TOLD ME YOU YOU HATED MY BLOG!! LUCIA THE TREE: No. No! I NEVER said that! I simply said it would work better as a STAGED PIECE! RAFA THE TREE: Guys... Let’s not do this again...

Unsure Trees

Sep 26, 2022

SQUIRREL (thinking): I love early fall... The trees look unsure. Like a bride picking a dress. Frozen by choices.
TREE: No, NO! I'm not unsure, I'm SURE, I'm... I'm SURE. I definitely want red leaves! Wait, no! Orange! No, yellow! Is it too late to say green?
FWUMP! The tree loses all its leaves at once.
TREE: OK, OK... I don't... HATE it. MAMA TREE: Oh MIJA, you look PERFECT! AUNTIE TREES: Mi sobrina linda!!!

Fall
