That's just what he calls this comic series. I pulled it off his threads post because it's not on his website. I had to stitch together the individual panels, since that's the only way I could find this comic in higher resolution.

rake the leaves just on the pathway

Rake leaves onto the pathway because the handicap get all the cool parking spaces.

fuck that sounded wrong

Kimberly trying to feel good about leaving a mess around her yard

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

I leave the leaves and pine needles in my backyard because it beats having a giant dirt patch.

I don't really want grass back there, but what else is comfortable to walk barefoot on and can hold up to large dogs, growing kids, and a small flock of miniature dinosaurs running allover it every day?

And I've spent an obscene amount of money on grass seed the past couple of years only to be told that I can't water it, between droughts and water bans from the city trying to balance water between the high-PFAS reservoir and the low-PFAS resevoir. Ugh. Can't win even if I try.

Try white dutch clover. It's walkable like grass once set it. Worth a try at least. It's been working well in our yard

I watch you sleep

[-] jlow@beehaw.org 12 points 4 days ago

Not a native English speaker here, that's an amazing name for, uh, certain kinds of caterpillars?

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

And a common folk lore about their appearance predicting the severity of the coming winter.

[-] Didros@beehaw.org 4 points 4 days ago

Is this missing a panel or am I having a stroke?

[-] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 10 points 4 days ago

In the 3rd panel read all the bugs then all the humans.

[-] Didros@beehaw.org 5 points 4 days ago

But that isn't how comics are read, but it does make sense.

[-] Brosplosion@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days ago

In NA folklore, wooly bears predict the winter weather

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 4 days ago

But the leaves cover the grass, choking it out and killing it due to lack of sunlight

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Kill the grass and replace it with clover

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago

Already is half clover

[-] finderscult@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 days ago

Grass will grow again in the spring, it's root system is fine for several months without sunlight... Assuming you have a local grass yard. Your yard is full of multiple species of local grasses and not just a desert of st Augustine right?

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 5 points 4 days ago

Correct, super diverse garden

Heck the grass it serves no purpose and is the worst monoculture we have

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Don't its roots slightly help with soil slippage?

Compared to bare soil yeah I suppose, one tree would do far better

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 4 days ago

You will not make me think of grass lawns in a positive way! I refuse!

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 4 points 3 days ago

The grass is tough as fuck and doesn't need us saving their asses

[-] jlow@beehaw.org 5 points 4 days ago

Grass like that is not much better than concrete anyway. Let nature do it's thing! ✨
