It&#8217;s been decades since I was raised religious (Roman Catholic), so I can remember the gist of the story in this comic, but I&#8217;ll get enough wrong so that this might be funny\/enraging to anybody who takes it seriously. Palm Sunday is a Christian holiday. I think it&#8217;s before Easter? Followers wave palm fronds to signify&#8230; something something Jesus. How did I do? Eh, that&#8217;s why Google exists; if you&#8217;re curious, go nuts with the searching. Anyway, this comic is the silent tale of Grant (or a stand-in) getting a palm tree, caring for it, having some issues with it and finally having it grow into a full tree. There&#8217;s a brief shot of Jesus with people waving palm fronds at him, so I guess it&#8217;s triumphant? Again, I&#8217;m long out of the religious world. Anyway, this would probably mean a lot to a religious person in your life, maybe as a stocking stuff, but for Easter. You know, this is actually small enough to fit into a plastic egg, with a little creative folding. Perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"742\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190714_0002-742x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190714_0002-742x1024.jpg 742w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190714_0002-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190714_0002-181x250.jpg 181w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190714_0002-127x175.jpg 127w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190714_0002-28x38.jpg 28w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190714_0002-156x215.jpg 156w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190714_0002.jpg 746w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Palm Tree This is a wee thing of a mini comic, which means it&#8217;ll most likely be a short review.
