And how &#8220;spray&#8221; keeps pests away (to the point of killing off the birds &#8212; my stepfather probably still claims that there&#8217;s no clear scientific evidence against the use of DDT).  Clearly the result of being raised by a plant pathologist in Upstate New York, watching things go on at an experiment station where spraying plants is the norm.  Prelude to irradiated food being kept fresh forever?  Finally, to a little kid, a sunflower probably does look 100 feet tall. \u00a0Enjoy. \u00a0Arudou Debito<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continuing the Holiday Tangents (I just don&#8217;t feel like doing anything downer-ish as we round out the year), here&#8217;s another comic drawn by me probably around November 1973. &#8220;Steve Seed&#8221;.
