UPDATE:
Here’s my eight panel variant (click the thumbnail above). For mpj’s eight panel variant just read the four panel version twice (maybe she went round the block, or has a twin sister.)
This one is almost a diary comic — we saw this couple today while we were picnicking beside the Isis (a.k.a. River Thames).
I’m trying out some ideas from a book on retro comic style.

In contrast to the previous animation, this one took us about three hours in preparation and production (and another hour faffing about with audio mixing and video codecs). The sweet potato remains were delicious, by the way.
Next time we have a long list of things we know not to do…
I think it is utterly reasonable to suppose that should flowers have the ability to communicate then they would surely talk about themselves.
I’ve noticed that the merest mention of a banana in a comedy-safe situation is enough to provoke tears of almost hysterical laughter in any reader, owing to this fruit’s extreme comic potential index (CPI) of 10.0. Socks also score a perfect 10.0, but tennis racquets are only about 3.6 and electric sanding discs rate 0.4. Data supplied by the Invisibulian Institute of Statistical Information (who rate themselves at 0.0 CPI ± 0.2).
I apologise humbly for the extreme, some would say entire, lack of puns in today’s comic. Especially to you, grj. And yes, this one is autobiographical.
