Strip by: Conor

Ed Crankshaft: {staring up at a tree} The problem with the trees is that they just keep dropping for weeks...
{A tree begins falling to the ground, or perhaps drops, coming perilously close to the silhouettes of Pam and Ed.}
Ed: {unconcerned} ... instead of dropping all at one time.
Ed: {staring at the downed tree, looking thoughtful} There ought to be a way to fix that!
Pam: {leaving} I'm going to the church to pray!

The author writes:

Note that Crankshaft said the trees were dropping, not that the leaves were dropping or that the trees were dropping leaves... so let's just take that a bit more literally, shall we?
