Bamboo Patch

Wilson P. Higgsbury

Bye bye, bamboo.

Wilson P. Higgsbury

I feel like I could have prevented that.

Wilson P. Higgsbury

Take that, nature!

Wilson P. Higgsbury

Looks pretty sturdy.

Nothing but a pile of carbon now.

Luckily bamboo regenerates rapidly.

Ah, excellent! Bamboo can easily be bent to my will.

I think it's dead.

Hurry up and grow already!

I guess I could cut that down.

Quite useless like this.

Presumably it will grow back.

A sizable source of bamboo.

A terrible waste.

More will sprout in time.

Some chefs steam rice in bamboo stocks.

Your hollow sorcery could not save you from fire.

You could not hack it!

What sorcery is this? Wood that is hollow?

It will not be returning.

It needs time to replenish.

It can grow through just about anything.

It's bamburnt.

It has a bamboo-boo.

Cute little bamboo.

So it goes.

I've won this round.

I can bend it to my will.

Well, that's one way to get bamboo out of your garden.

Bamboo. The only thing more tenacious than me.

Swell. It's a bunch of sticks.

Ms. Wickerbottom

Pity.

Ms. Wickerbottom

Shall we see how fast it regenerates?

Ms. Wickerbottom

Bamboo is among the fastest growing plants in the world.

'TIS FWOOSH'DED

'TIS BROK'DEN

IS'T TREE O' BENDINESS

Aww, can I burn it again?

It'll come back.

Kindling!

Is not very mighty now.

I hope is fast growing.

I will harvest you soon, mighty plant!

Burnt like bacon, eh?

That was some good chopping!

Lucy's got too much kick for this.

Thet's th'end o'thet.

Thar be no bamboo fer th'moment.

Ye sproutin' wood.

NOOO!
