Plant of the Day

Sunday 7 June 2026

This is the perennial Dictamnus albus (burning bush, candle plant, dittany, fire plant, fraxinella, gas plant, spitfire plant) which has white flowers but there is also a purple flowered form Dictamnus albus var. purpureus. It has highly aromatic, dark green leaves and the whole plant becomes covered in a volatile oil which can be ignited resulting in a flash of flame in hot weather.

The fact people have mistaken you for a sentient oven reminds me of that burning bush in the bible. I never actually read the bible but I'm pretty sure there's a bush on fire.

Are you calling me the voice of a god?

NO MEAT!

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. This comic references two Bible stories centered on Moses from the Book of Exodus. The first is from Chapter 2, where he murders an Egyptian for beating a Hebrew slave. He hides the Egyptian's body in the sand, but word gets around and Moses flees Egypt before Pharoah can put him to death. The second story is from Chapter 3, where, after Moses has lived away from Egypt for a time, he encounters something inexplicable: a bush wreathed in fire but not consumed by the flames. God speaks to Moses from the flames, and despite Moses's flaws, God tasks him with leading the Hebrew people out of Egypt. 2. In this cartoon, Moses comes across the burning bush, as in the story. However, the bush asks why he's outside of Egypt, and Moses very openly declares that he's a murderer. In the same spirit of openness, God cuts right to the chase and asks Moses to be a prophet.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: As Lent continues, so do the "Tomics Resurrections," where I slave away to redraw an old comic and bring it grumbling to a better place. This one was drawn 8 years ago. Time is a strange thing. I feel like I drew the original only yesterday!
