Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for July 22, 2024

“Maybe the next one…”

Love the giggle.

The giggle says a mouthful.

Just a chip off the old block, or triangle.

Sentient, but not too sentient.

I get it, I’ve been on a lifelong search for the perfect cracker

Current favorite is the Keebler Club Multigrain

RJ introduced the animals to the wonders of the nacho cheese chip in the movie.

This initially had me confused as I forgot that Americans call crisps as ‘chips’. Our chips are something else. We did laugh when we went to NY on a holiday and the waiter told us that the meal came with chips. We thought he was Anglicising the word for us as he recognised us as being from the UK (probably from our accents), expecting our version of ‘chips’ to turn up – call them French fries (but they’re not). But when it turned up, it was actually with crisps.

That’s what you get for playing with your food.

I prefer potato chips. And for potato chips, I prefer Ruffles.

Now even a corn chip can talk!! There’s no lack of imagination from these cartoonists!!

Do they still make Wise brand potato chips? They used to be a childhood staple. Nowadays I only see Lays and Utz brands in the grocery stores.

Where can I find these chips, RJ?

That chip is a wise cracker.
