Steve and Horse

The inspiration for this strip came to me while I was procrastinating on my yard work.  I’ve got these insane weeds growing up between my patio stones in my back yard.  My mom suggested dousing them with vinegar to kill them off.  About a litre of vinegar later, a few of the weeds wilted, and the rest grew to about twice their previous size.  I tried good ol’ fashioned weed killer next, which is supposed to “kill the weeds, leave the lawn” and “show results in 24 hours”.  It’s been 20 hours so far, and the weeds are as monstrous as ever.  Unless they spontaneously explode at the 24 hour mark, I’m not expecting much.

I may just buckle, and go brutally murder them with the Weed Whacker.  I know it won’t really solve the problem, but I’ll take some measure of satisfaction from it.
