I’d compare it to cutting off their limbs. They have their arms raised over their heads and we go right ahead and snip-snip-snip! I would compare it to decapitation, but they don’t actually die from mowing so…have fun with those visuals!
I actually take a sort of sick pleasure in the herbicide of my very large lawn. It’s sort of fun to imagine the individual blades as zombies… And going to town with a gargantuan (to them) tank o’ whirly death.
The Far Side Gallery 5, page 12, panel 1 is the closest I can think of.
Now one for you: what’s the only strip Larson ever apologized for?
Hint: It’s also in volume 5.
mmmnope he didn’t apologize for that one. He joked about how his editor rejected the earlier version he submitted where the baby was an adult human. Yet the baby version passed with flying colors?!
Is it the one where the dog has the cat tied up and the people are saying “the dog’s not goin’ for the new cat”? Or is it the one where everyone thought the dog was humping the car?
In one of Gary Larson’s The Far Side comic strips, captioned “Hell’s Video Store”, the entire store is stocked with nothing but copies of the movie Ishtar. Larson later apologized, saying “When I drew the above cartoon, I had not actually seen Ishtar. … Years later, I saw it on an airplane, and was stunned at what was happening to me: I was actually being entertained. Sure, maybe it’s not the greatest film ever made, but my cartoon was way off the mark. There are so many cartoons for which I should probably write an apology, but this is the only one which compels me to do so.”
Now for penance, y’all need to go back and re-read The Complete Far Side!
I pretend that the grass is an organized army and/or small town to which I slowly and ever so tastefully burn. I hear their tiny screams and laugh at them as I tell them how each of them is going to die.
In particular you should be using A records and not CNAME records for things like WWW, per the relevant RFC. It will make lookups quicker, in practical terms.
Not sure if you have direct access to your DNS records though. If you do they’re in “Simple DNS Editor” in cPanel if you have it, or if you can edit the raw files, its likely in /var/named/bugcomic.com.db
I stumbled onto this few weeks ago and i was hooked on bug, awesome web comic great for a laugh. I’ve decided not to read the archives at once just so Ive always got a bug fix when i need it
I comedian I saw when I was a kid said, “Aren’t you glad grass doesn’t have eyes? I have enough problems mowing the yard without ten thousand blades just staring at me in horror!”
The stuff you think of xD
You kill your grass every time you mow?
No, grass grows from the root. So it’s like a haircut.

You know, I quite frequently imagine the same thing!
OMG New motivation for mowing my lawn!!

Who doesn’t own it? But anyway for the 1st part:

I don’t have them cataloged like you apparently do, but he apologized for the ants carrying the baby to their anthill. Pretty sure that is the one.

I can’t think of one he actually apologized for, but I know he regrets cow tools.

the car one.

Now, if the store had noting but copies of Battlefield Earth, I could see that.
I will think twice before I step on the grass from now on

Wow plant life is harsh
All those Anti-God cigarettes I smoked in the ’70s? Are those plants in plant heaven? Maybe it’d be a great place to spend eternity.
The beans died in vain?
I bet they would’ve rather died on vine!
eh? eh?
Booo! Hsssss!
“Dude. You were our Hitler” is epic!

The three plants you meet in heaven.
I’m baaaaaack!!! Yay!!!
Don’t know what you did but I can see the strip now!
Hell’s Video Store
I had a philodendron named Robert Plant for many years. Not the same philodendron, mind you.

Actually, the grass just gets a haircut when you mow it.
