Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for April 15, 2024

Whip cream on pizza, and no maraschino cherries? Barbarians!

Food Business News reports that salty snacks alone had sales of $28 billion last year, up 16%. Sales are projected to reach $38 billion by 2028.

Although Statista reports soft drink sales are down 1.8% to 137.6 liters per person per year.

Whipped cream? Congratulations, Over the Hedge! You ruined pizza! First San Francisco and now, you!

No worse than ranch dressing.

I’ve had dessert nachos, made with cinnamon sugar coated flour tortilla chips, fresh fruits, and whipped cream, so there should be a way to make a dessert pizza. It would need a sweet bread crust (crispy or like shortbread), crème Angleis (or ice cream spread thin on the crust), fresh fruit, and whipping cream.

The problem with “his people” is they don’t keep snacks – they eat them as soon as they get them.

Barf

oh they probably have pineapple on it too

Hoe gauche ! One should eat one’s whipped cream, directly from the can.

To paraphrase Inside Out, Congratulations Lewis / Fry, you’ve ruined pizza! First the Hawaiians, and now YOU!

They are the human equivalent of trash pandas. But not even RJ eats that badly.

Just another day in Congress…

These twins are, if you’ll pardon the pun, growing on me as a (single) character in this strip. Whipped cream on pizza may be the most ridiculous topping I’ve ever heard. They are exceptional avatars of the gluttonous portion of the populace..
