#998 – Maple

Watching some adults use a giant wood chipper was pretty mesmerizing as a kid. We would form a little crowd around a hundred feet away to “ooh” and “ahh” at it. The people using it would usually get into a rhythm of toss… bzzzzzt! toss… bzzzzzt! toss… bzzzzzt! with a sporadic thicker branch that would get ground up much more slowly with a louder lower pitched grrrrrrrrawwwwwwwwzzzzzziiip! Punctuated by a round of applause!

Biff’s 4th birthday is tomorrow! To celebrate, there is a crazy book sale in the store right now!

    Aww if Biff’s birthday is tomorrow, couldn’t you have made an extra comic on April 1st and have it coincide with comic #1000?

    This had me laughing so much. Also, in the future they’ll have elimated tailgating.

    so, is it an electric vehicle that propels itself foreward by chipping, and re-energizing the battery via the wheels?

    And it revives the economy by creating literally millions of street cleaner jobs! That is until the price of trees skyrockets… 🙁

    Happy birthday! Enjoy your Spaghetti Cake!

    Then again, NO ONE should do most of the things Biff does. 😀
