Perilous times

 

I’ll start with a caveat: This is NOT a Christmas cartoon! Even though Christmas is mentioned, this is about autumn and the Fall. 

Thank you. 

Autumn leaves behind

There’s something about our neighborhood that makes all the leaves fall down in a single day. You need to be careful where you stand on that day.
 

Seasons in the sun

There's a certain cycle to service...
 

In the leafy treetop

Remember that old short story by O. Henry, The Last Leaf? I started to think about that as I colorized this cartoon. I had to change the caption so it wouldn't make me cry!

The best parts

I had a friend who rhapsodized about the smells of September: freshly-sharpened pencils, new textbooks and the fresh-cut grass of a football field. I kinda like the smell of November.

An abundance

It's amazing how many leaves one tree can produce!

Times and seasons

It seems like all of the trees in my yard decide to shed their leaves on the same day. That's how I know autumn has officially arrived!
