About Lost Woods

Imagine Calvin and Hobbes careening down a wooded hillside, colliding with Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. That is the (s)mashup that is Lost Woods comic strip. Henry, a bear, is caretaker and chronicler of the last bit of untouched woods in comics-land. He could get a real job like his blogger friend, Wally, but he prefers huckleberrying. The work is seasonal, but the profits are delicious! 

"I'm not afraid to be lost in the woods; I'm afraid that the woods will be lost to me." Henry

In Henry's woods, time is measured, not by current events or holidays, but by currant events and bug season. In these woods, the trees talk, the plants have secrets, and an eccentric cast of friends brings argument, invention, innocence, and mischief to the woods.
