Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for May 31, 2020

sheesh. That “joke” was old when I was in high school. Which was longer ago than I care to remember.

Where’s a falling cow when you need one?

I think I will take the High Road here and not make any of the other comments that occurred to me.

But he’s just an athlete, and the slang for athlete is just “jock”

I wish I could leave more than one ‘Like.’ I had no idea where we were heading until the sixth panel.

That joke had a long, long, long walk, didn’t it?

Verne’s gotta stop walking into those open doors….

And there was that race against Achilles that taught us a lot about calculus.

Just call Verne Mr Touchdown !

EPL ( English Football ) starts back up in a few weeks !! LIVERPOOL !!!

Remember, if you can’t be an athlete…

I miss the sports…every day after dinner, I tab down 250 pages of the guide and nothing but garbage… then I turn it off

I didn´t know Verne was a scot!

An old Jackie Vernon joke.

Phone call for Monsieur Strappe. Monsieur Jacques Strappe.

(yeah, I went there. It’s classier in French.)

Such a strapping young turtle.

I liked sports back when I was a kid, when athletes excelled in something much more meaningful than the game. When you learned about Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson tearing down walls, and later witnessed guys like Tommie Smith and John Carlos take a stand, or Muhammad Ali defy bigotry. And more recently, when Colin Kaepernick knelt as a costly statement.

He left out 3 periods! What a hockey schmuck.

Verne? A sports fan?

My hypothesis is that the unspeakable tedium of sports puts aficionados in a trance in which they imagine something interesting is happening. “Pro sports are life without the boring bits”? Pro sports (all pro sports combined) without the boring bits must amount to at most one or two hours a year!

MIchael has clearly never tried to watch a Soccer or Cricket…

Better to be an athletic supporter than the thing the athletic supporter supports. The world has too many of those already.

Supporting a couple of nuts ;)

That’s why the shell is hard.

You forgot three periods for hockey

He has jock itch.

Don’t miss pro sports in the least.

No, there are not heroes and villains. There are rivals, and you get to choose whom to root for.

I’m not. Over blown and have too much power to get tax payer money to fund their private playing fields.

what, no one roots for the "A"s any longer do they?

It’s been said that nearly all jokes have been recycled for centuries, if not millenia, and the only original jokes are puns. But that doesn’t mean that all puns are original…
