Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for February 05, 2022

It’s a draw, they both flinched.

I’m with Hammy.

Hammy for leader of the platoon.

Good Grief Charlie Brown !

Always wear a cup when you play sports.

This reminds me of “Rochambeau” from South Park. (Pardon my spelling, it’s probably wrong.) You take turns kicking each other in the crotch until someone faints. It’s also a good idea to accuse the other person of challenging you, so you get to go first.

Yes Hammy, I agree and I hope next weeks strip is better!

They flunked the flinch.

So it’s official, neither side wins.

So they bounce / smash their balls together in the second panel; is this a game invented by sadistic feminists, or a gay courtship ritual?

This is for R.J. :

James A. Dewar

Born February 5, 1897 d. 1985

Canadian baker. Invented the Twinkie (1930). While working for Continental Baking Company (which later became Hostess) in Schiller Park, Illinois, he needed a substitute for the filling in their strawberry shortcake, as strawberries were seasonal. So he substituted cream for the strawberry filling and the Twinkie was born. He himself ate three a day and lived to the age of 92.The original Twinkies had a stated shelf life of only 26 days (the newer ones = 45 days), but as we all know, after the Zombie Apocalypse the only thing remaining will be cockroaches and Twinkies.

He did say bounce.

Flinch Ball might be the best invention of the last decade

Verne has a shell… why did he flinch???
