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

Heh, movie reference, always nice.

Monopoly? That should keep them occupied until Spring.

I always claim the cannon.

I have an odd set. The pieces are made from wood and must have been shaped on a lathe.

What happened to George?

I’ll be the hat.

Mr. Builder did you put in a Doggie Door for winter use so those big double doors will not have to be opened and let in all that cold air ?

“They should make one that’s a garbage cart!”

I always claim the Scottie.

The boys are living it up.

This is ironic?

Giving them Monopoly seems like some kind of passive-aggressive act.Or maybe the Humans want to sedate the woodland creatures.

I want to be the car!

They need a twinkie one! The iron has been retired, unfortunately. Here is an interesting article on monopoly pieces:

NOBODY wanted to be the iron. I liked the hat. My older brother had permanent dibs on the car, my older sister was always the terrier…

I am like “wiatr”, I remember the wooden pieces – My favorite was the blue on that resembled a “Hershey’s Kiss”.

Seems like I’ve heard that dialogue before…

Make him the cannon. He already has a shell.

Shout out to RJ. Here’s a Twinkie story for you…https://www.npr.org/2020/10/15/923411578/a-disturbing-twinkie-that-has-so-far-defied-science?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=news

Clearly, this strip is coming to an end. Playing Monopoly always finishes with hatred, recriminations and general loathing.The boys will never speak to each other again. That’s it for Over The Hedge.
