Well, OK, Here's Another Plant-Based Cartoon Idea

I was on a roll for a while doing some comic strips with plants and Marcus, so what the hey, here's one more.

Driving around the other day I was looking at all the spring flowers coming up, and remembering a discussion with someone a few days back about which low-light plants to use around the base of trees for landscaping.   Hostas are good for that and need very little care.  And while just driving for some reason my brain was just going over the word 'hostas' when it weirdly clicked on the 'hosta la vista, baby' line from the Terminator movies.

Ok.......I'll run with it.  

So I have a strip ftsem now where a green plant is on the table being stared at by Marcus who says 'ANOTHER plant?"  The owner warns him to leave it alone and warns him that it's for the front yard, she's just going to get a shovel to plant it in a few minutes.  He spends some time staring at it, in deep thought.  Then an evil smile and he says "Hosta la Vista, Baby' and the owner yells up 'I told you to leave it ALONE!'  

Does he destroy it?  Does he only threaten?  Is it being done only to raise the owners' blood pressure?  It's up to the reader to find out.
