The tree salesman is supposed to be a lotus flower root. Very commonly used in Asian cooking. Chinese like to use lotus roots in soup. They are also sliced up and sun-dried and served as candy chips on Chinese New Year.

很高兴又看到一样我喜欢的蔬菜：莲藕先生~~~不过老实说看到你的说明之前我真没看出来他是莲藕，也许把他的头削掉一块(先跟莲藕先生道个歉。。。)露出特征性的藕洞会比较便于识别吧。
因为语言的关系，我常常不能明白你漫画的笑点:-s这次亦然-_-b
Thank you for explaining just how I can mutilate and eat your new character. =)
Hi Louisa,
其實我畫的漫畫大部份都是以奇怪或有趣作出發點，所以你要想歪一點來看。當然，自己的幽默感亦有限和取材都是相就北美讀者。這篇漫畫是跟北美兩款常見的棉花糖 Marshmellow 作笑話。一款是大大粒白色的，通常是用來露營燒烤時吃。另一款是細小七彩的棉花糖，用來散在冰淇淋上或浮在熱巧克力飲品上。因為棉花糖樹是新引進Chloroville的，他們還未有想到怎樣來吃那些棉花糖。

Victor, I’m from Hong Kong too, but now I live in Beijing. May I make a suggestion that louisa is probably from somewhere else and so uses simplified chinese. Maybe she will have difficulties reading traditional chinese?
For example, “画”(which means “draw”) is very different from “畫”.
Louisa is from Shanghai. I don’t know simplified Chinese and personally I prefer traditional Chinese much better.
I have just discovered your webcomic ! Love it ! Great concept and your characters are funny and catchy !
Hi Morin,
Thanks
You’ve made my day. I have just checked out your comics and I love your characters too… but I can’t read it because it’s in French 
Cheers,
Victor
I just found this comic yesterday and I already love it. You have a really good drawing style combined with interesting three dimensional characters, I look forward to seeing what kind of whacky adventures they get into. Also I like how you use vegetables and stuff from foreign countries as well. I lived in Japan for a while and it felt good to see a Daikon Radish (at least I think thats what Choy is lol) anyway, keep up the good work
You’ve inspired me to make more webcomics C:
I don’t get the reaction to the multi-colored ones…
@kirb: I skimmed you DeviantArt stuff and I think you could definitely enjoy a nice readership. Just please, PLEASE, get a real webhost and pop a CMS on there. I hate people thinking that dA can be used for webcomics. It’s just a gallery. :/
Hi Victor!
I just wanted to say – I stumbled upon your comic this morning before my doctor\’s appointment and each of the strips brought a smile to my face. I\’m a webcomics creator myself and I can totally sympathize with just how much work goes into making each and every strip a winner. I\’m so impressed that you can create something so vibrant, cute, funny, and endearing – and in Illustrator none-the-less!
For some odd reason, your strip just brought to mind one of my favorite NES games – Princess Tomato and the Salad Kingdom. ^_^ How nostalgic!
Please keep up the great work and hang in there!

Those multi-colored mini marshmallows may be unnatural, but they are still delicious! >_<
Ella, thanks for all the nice comments!
You do know that it’s marsh mAllow, right?
MonkeySpanker,
Thanks… I guess my typo made the strip even less funny
Now let me hunt down my editor.
heh… marshmallow tree… i wish it were real. i’d plant one for certain. any time you feel like making smores or a cocoa float or just eating one straight … pop outside and pick one off.
don’t think they’d take too well to a rainstorm though!
*giggles hysterically* Unnatural marshmallows? hehehehehehe
The bonsai tree is so cute~! I’m addicted to your comics.
