Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for June 15, 2020

But it’s not chemicals.

Just about every comic strip is topical.

This strip was founded on topical humor; the suburban encroachment on woodlands. Those first strips of the critters adapting to their new neighbors were hysterically topical.

Wonder if you can still buy “Fart” in a can . I remember it as a kid .

A flash back to the late sixties.

We can’t even go to Fantasyland until Disneyland opens.

If this is a nod to the George Floyd protests (now old news considering the number of unarmed black men dead since two weeks ago), let’s hope that it’s done better here than over at Prickly City.

But starting in the mighty whitey suburbs kind of suggests not.

:D

If that’s a giant mosquito in the first panel, then setting off bug bombs in the third panel is completely justified. But if this cartoon is about the protests, I don’t think bug bombs are effective against demonstrators.

It is about the protests, and those aren’t bug bombs, and RJ and Verne didn’t activate them.

I love this comic! It’s a topical paradise!

Relax, fellas. It’s only the U.S. military disposing of surplus weapons confiscated from Saddam Hussein.
