Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for November 18, 2023

I’m guessing Lewis and Fry aren’t chess afficionados.

Obviously Henry II didn´t know the rules either.

Maybe Verne should teach George about chess.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

That racoon always seemed a little squirrely to me.

judging by history, it’s more likely the king would kill the bishop (or have it done by henchmen)… ooh, a new chess piece: henchmen

That’s happened to the king more than one time in history.

A King once ordered an Archbishop murdered in a cathedral…

R.J. should note that it IS possible to win a chess match in only two moves – it’s called “The Fools Mate” – (it’s also known as "Alright, Big Brother, if you Insist on Playing this Stupid Game defense) but can only be accomplished by “Black” and only if “White” is extraordinary stupid…

Back in the Army we played Atomic chess. Each player had the nuclear option. Slam the board sending pieces every where. Game over man, game over.xD

U2 reference?
