Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for October 18, 2022

“Azimuthal equidistant”. two fancy words for the price of one. A map projection. I won’t tell you what it’s usually used for.

I’m actually a subscriber to MW’s word of the day, and these are much more entertaining.

Let me guess, all of RJ’s words will be about Twinkies, and all of Hammy’s words will be about gross sounds.

Greet someone you know (and love) with a “Phooot!” today.

I do believe they’re re-inventing sniglets.

Very surprised that Hammy’s comment made it past the Go Comics censor.

I thought that phoot was the sound of Hammy in the hot tub but then remembered that that is toot.

How is Verne glowing like that?

Actually, done 40+ years ago by Rich Hall. They’re called Sniglets. See yesterday’s comic for a link

Coruscate? I thought that was the capital of the Galactic Republic?

One arm pharting? Neophyte! Work your way up to the dual power of behind the knee pharts!

I see the pattern: Verne teaches a dictionary word, RJ teaches a new coinage, and Hammy teaches onomatopoeia.

PhoootSquint; The look when one sniffs the actual fart.

Verne is so cute!

I got one out of three where is my reward!

Coruscate: 1. Reflect brightly, 2. Be lively, brilliant or exhibit virtuosity
