Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for January 20, 2014

RJ doesn’t have a mouth, so he’s never smiling or frowning… hmmm…

This is Ren and Stimpy quality drawing; well done!

Panel 2 is how I look most Sunday mornings. : (

The derivative of the integral? Someone’s just showing off symbol knowledge now.

Now I am wondering about all the big smiles I get from people. Or are they just laughing at my big head?

I love the thinly disguised allegory in this strip, “it’s better to be stupid” or “Ignorance is bliss” is a great old bit of shtick. Unfortunately, it really seems to be the case from my view. I see many people who lack any real understanding of how the world really works. They seem to be a lot happier than myself, not having as much to worry about. I’ve tried to make myself worry less and feel happier but eventually I run out of Scotch.

I could have used these Einstein’s when I was in school… I may not have been smarter, but maybe more amusing!

…hence the Blinding smile.
