Transcript:
Shermy stands watching Violet water a small fir tree. She says,“This year, I’ve planted my own Christmas tree!”
He stoops in front of her and asks,“Do you think it’ll be grown by then?”
She stands, alone, and says,“Gee, maybe it won’t…”
She leans over to the tree and exclaims,“C’mon, tree, grow!! You’ve got a deadline to meet!”
Original comic:

Charles letting off a bit of steam in a subtle fashion about feeling pressured to produce in a timely manner?
Charles?
Charles Schulz was the guy behind the Peanuts comic strip.
…
Huh. I forgot that the artist of the comic strip and the “main character” shared the same name.
Nah, the main character was “Chuck” - at least that’s what some annoying loudmouth girl told me. I think she was into him, tho.
Yes fool!
