“It hasn’t any leaves” People don’t phrase things that way anymore. Today they’d be more likely to say, “It doesn’t have any leaves” or “It hasn’t got any leaves.”
The original Nancy Sunday page I have is about leaves. She rakes the whole yard, then a gust comes up and the leaves are gone. She shrugs and goes inside, and it’s full of leaves. It’s from 1943.
There’s a bonus: One of the panels is pasted over a drawing Ernie rejected. If I ever want to remove the paste-over and set it aside, I’ll have a Bushmiller panel nobody’s seen since 1943.

Ironically, the tree responds to Nancy’s kiss and starts growing leaves again, restoring the chore – much to Nancy’s chagrin.

Understand her point. No leaves, no work.
