      At the right side of the panel there is a little leaf poking out implying that sun hogging bastard is moving out of his damned side

      i thought the middle bottom panel was a door and all three bottom panels were in a hallway or something, then i just looked at it longer and figured it out.

    Reminds me of the idea that intelligence might express itself in ways that we cannot perceive, because it’s so slow. Like Rock trolls taking a year to speak a sentence and a century to have this little conversation. Ents are a little faster I guess.

      You should read “Vaster than Empires, and More Slow” by Ursula K Leguin, which is basically this. Also “Shroud”, and “Alien Clay” by Adrian Tchaikovsky have somewhat related ideas, but are full-blown examinations of the concepts of utterly alien intelligence. Honestly, you’d probably like most of Tchaikovsky’s work. He does a lot with “alternative manifestations of sapience”.

        I love Le Guin! I just started re-reading her opus; but since this is a (short) story I might have skipped it the first time. I also aded some Tschaikowski to my e-reader, if I like that I will try to remember this.

        full-blown examinations of the concepts of utterly alien intelligence.

        In this context I will always recommend Stanislaw Lem’s “Eden”, although it has little to do with differences in speed.

          Yeah, if you’re looking to get into Tchaikovsky, I’d recommend either Children of Time (if you like sci-fi) or The City of Last Chances (if you like fantasy). His work is always based in his experience as a zoologist, so his environments and animals are second-to-none (even the series of which City of Last Chances is a part contains well-considered biology whenever “monsters” from “the grove” are described)

    When you see plants fighting over light, you understand that even harmless beings like plants can be utterly vicious towards each other.
