Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for February 23, 2022

They have each other, isn’t that nice.

Verne. You need to get up to speed on current reality. Asking that question of a female can be construed and quite possibly prosecuted as Sexual Harassment.

Where’s RJ and Verne’s kiss?

Triple-downing!

They could have done without the snide remarks.

Mush!

So basically, they got sick of the opposite sex and decided to settle for each other.

I hope the adopt rather than combine DNAs, a racurtle or a turcoon, would … well, I don’t know what it would be.

They’re uglier than I remembered.

That is just plain creepy, ugh

Like so many others, they have a physical relationship, not an emotional one. Anything goes, but no kissing.

My main comment about these characters is, why are they drawn so ugly?!?Yes it would be nice to have some female characters, though the usual ones are fairly gender neutral; no I don’t care if any of them are portrayed as gay. But in addition to being ugly, presenting them as becoming gay as a choice after waiting on the males to call for a quarter century is definitely bogus.

OH GOD A GAY TOON, RUN FOR THE HILLS!

The lack of extremist hate in today’s comments is refreshing.

R.J. has the perfect response for this. Basically it’s “who cares”, which is what they seem to deserve.

Love of a close friend is a special thing. Please don’t infer that it must be sexual. Sometimes “a kiss is just a kiss.”
