Comic Transcripts

Parent Tree: So, ah. Son. You’re really starting to flower.

Parent Tree: How ? How’re things going? With, uh, you know… Pollination?
Son of Tree: AAAHH, DAD. <> We are NOT going to have this conversation right now!!

Parent Tree: Do you know about, uh, about entomophily? Guess you kids probably call it BEE-POKIN’.
Son of Tree: NO. Dad. STOP. That is NOT okay. You are NEVER allowed to say that again. ESPECIALLY not in front of my FRIENDS.

Parent Tree: Your FRIENDS. Right. Listen, Kyle. Just so you know. It’s OKAY to experiment with CROSS-FERTILIZATION.
Son of Tree: Loggers. Please. Cut me down. Now.

20 years ago (in photocomic form)

June 9, 2026 by David Malki !

I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
