Little more wind — little more rope — little more speed — little more hope! Got to get this stupid kite to fly!

You’ll be in a tree shortly.

I foresee a kiteastrophe…

Find a field without ANY trees, Chuck!

oh the irony

LOL tribute

Not so fast, Mr. Kite…

I smell a “good grief” coming from the distance….

No, ‘we’ are the luckiest for having you.

Those kite eating trees know you’re coming…

I am not too sure there. . .

I really miss hobby shops.. And Mr. Schultz

I asked my dad for a kite and he bought me one. Then he showed me how he made one out of newspaper as a child. His flew better! It was a great day.

The kite in the tree gag got as tiresome as Lucy and The Football and The Great Pumpkin. All of that provided great fodder for an SNL Skit though.

You can’t soar like an eagle when surrounded by turkeys.

Just your luck, you were chosen by the kid who can’t avoid trees.

Awww, sweet!

Watch Out for that Tree!

Ah would ’twere that it were Mr Kite ♥ Nice tribute Leigh

Well there is that “Tree that Grows in Brooklyn”

Hey, kite? You’d better get your head out of the clouds.

Reminds me of the Whale created by the Infinite Improbability drive on the Heart of Gold several miles in the air above Magrathea
