I live next to a Piney Grove with most of the pines removed and never replaced. Small shade trees are being planted in yards and along the streets, though.
People gotta live somewhere, Calvin. You’ve got your house. Would you make all those other people homeless? The ultimate social problem: population. Nobody wants to talk about it.
Looking on the bright side, a construction site with earth moving equipment is a great playground for a small boy! I had many hours of fun in the apartment complex we lived in, where they were building the new units.

The only thing shady about these condos is the company making them.

It’s on the same principle as calling a street Forest Boulevard when there are no trees on it. Or Oak Street when there are only maples.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this project were headed up by some shady characters.

Sad, first a dead raccoon and now a dead forest. When they start clear cutting the national parks this is what they will look like.

Calvin would have seen many more shocking events since the original publication date.

And on the news this morning, the Great Barrier Reef, which protects part of Australia from ocean waves, is dead or dying because of global warming.

suburb(n): an area where they cut down all the trees and then name the streets after them.

Looks like Jill’s forest (from last week’s Non Sequitur)…

Of course, Calvin’s own home sits on a former forest, too.

Or in the western US and Canada naming subdivisions, boulevards, resorts, etc. after tamaracks, when the tress are actually larches.
You must be referring to Mother Nature. She’s probably the only one whose tress would be larches… ☺

Yep…Woodfield Shopping Center, once the world’s largest enclosed mall. Guess what there’s none of anywhere in sight.

Calvin’s had a horrible week. First his raccoon dies and now the woods are no longer.
Sigh.

Dear author, Please look up the definition of “comic”. If I wanted social commentary I would turn off Fox News

It is odd how many “developments” are named after what used to be there.
