Two sheep, looking at a tiny oak seedling. Yvonne: We'll be able to tell our great-grandchildren that we watched this mighty oak grow from a fallen acorn. 3 years later... With lamb. Yvonne: We watched this mighty oak grow from a fallen acorn. Tree is only a little higher, crow is trying to perch on a branch, it's bending.

The first idea for a while that's really made me chuckle.

Update - 15 Jan - I've re-drawn this one using the new style, because it was the last one I did with the old look, and I really like the joke. I simply replaced the image on this page.

There are also sad overtones; of course different species have different lifespans and life must look very different if you have a much shorter or much longer life than ours. But it's not a happy thought that we've bred sheep to be mature within their first year. I did enjoy drawing Crow attempting to hang off the young and bendy branch.
