St David's Day


Originally published: March 1 2010

This is the first appearance of The daffodil in this strip. I just planned to use it this once to celebrate St David's Day, but then I remembered the daffodil I'd introduced in Millie as a companion to Des the Weed, other ideas started developing, and it all sort of grew from there.

Jones has a tendency to nibble plants that she borrowed from the real Smudge, who would eat anything green and growing that she could find. Whenever Linda got a bunch of flowers we'd have to display them in a vase on top of the highest bookshelf in the house, somewhere near the ceiling, as that was the only place she couldn't reach.
