Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for December 02, 2020

All the wrong stuff. By the way, are there double-stuffed Twinkies?

A junk food delivery service… genius!! Chips, and dips and nachos and salsa and Dr Pepper and Moon Pies and Twinkies to keep RJ at bay…. I’m sitting here in glorious expectation of a genuine junk food high.

I would totally order from hellojunk if that were a thing instead of candywarehouse.

So, RJ? If olive oil comes from pressing olives, and corn oil comes from crushing corn, where does baby oil come from?

Is the chemical sludge in the middle of a Twinkie plant-based? I wonder if it’s even Earth-based!

Beer is good for you. It’s made from plants.

Plant based foods are really processed and not actually healthy. I only eat fresh foods.

Did RJ get his information from The Tree That Knows Stuff?

And to pay for it all, money from the money tree.

Just don’t try to chew the gum balls from the Sweet Gum tree!

I won’t be surprised if Hammy turns out to be a nicer version of RJ

Nutra-Sweet ads tried to make people believe their product was based on common, ordinary ingredients.

Actually, RJ is almost half-right. Sugar actually comes from sugarcane.

For what it’s worth, I find the Twinkie™ arcs to be the least interesting. No real character development or story arc.

We already know that RJ is a junk food junkie, with Hammy a close second.

But the other characters in this strip, the humans who care for our misguided critters, and some of the other guest critters, they make the strip worth while.

… and shoes come from shoe trees.
