Actually, it’s a little early in the year for the marsh grass in panel 4 to be that brown.

Your version is much better – but after all you ARE the ARIST!

Ahhhh……it would have shown them walking more on sand than grass.

I know that FL is not part of the true Southerner’s “South” – but this strip makes me remember my time in FL with longing…

Obviously the yankee who did the coloring for gocomics.com has never seen Spanish moss, but you can’t blame someone for where he or she was born.

Galliglo,
North Florida is part of the South; South Florida is part of the North. This is almost impossible to explain to anyone who doesn’t understand it already. (I grew up in Gainesville–North Florida.)

Central Florida, excluding Orlando, is also part of the South. Before railroads and air conditioning nobody lived on the coast. You couldn’t raise citrus or cattle there.
The Panhandle, known affectionately as the Redneck Riviera, is where people from Georgia and Alabama vacation. It is on-season in the summer and off in the winter, because it gets chilly. In contrast, the southern part of the state is on-season in the winter and off in the summer, when it is too hot and the Yankees have no snow to escape.
In this one the Spanish moss, hanging from the tree, is the right color.

@f My son and daughter-in-law are moving from Tallahassee (North Florida, but really like south Ga. ) to Pembroke Pines (South Florida between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami). Quite a move in more ways than miles.
