Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for June 14, 2015

Well, better your bad side than your back side!

I saw some free range children at the park today. I had to fight the urge to abduct one of them just to teach the parents a lesson. :-)

The only real hazards we had growing up was that the farmer might decide to harvest his wheat while we were still playing in it.

And the perennial “failing to respond to Moms before they had called us for the third time”. No charms there for a third time on the action.

So Verne has come out of his shell !

Verne in a thong! Not a happy summer memory.

If that picture goes viral, there’ll be shell to pay.

“My eyes are closed!” What a transparent lie.

When I was a kid (half a century ago) I never would have guessed that “free range” children would become a rare sight that triggered phone calls to the police, especially in America.

Thank God cartoonists are finally poking fun at the idiotic city laws against letting you kids free range.

I was a free range child, my only instruction were, where are you going and be home before dark.
