Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for September 19, 2020

Don’t forget the scrape! Spot remover!

Verne, I suspect George can tell you all about nasty, brutal and short.

I’m really glad none of our “Cherry Street” books had that story.

Aw, c’mon! George should be used to animals getting snuffed right & left; he hasn’t been away THAT long! lol

Sounds like it was written by B.C.

What about “mom has cheese”? No wait, it was milk.

Verne were did you get that book ? It appears to be a remake ;-)

He should try some board books.

A sensitive T-Rex? The times he is from were likely even more nasty and brutal and George was an apex brute.

You can be a Spot.

You can be a Puff.

You can be a Jane.

But please don’t be… well, you know.

Great for giving kids nightmares!

Man! That never happened in Highlights for Children magazine. Goofus joined the Jim Jones cult, while Gallant went into Med School, but other than that…

Where was that book when I was a kid?!

The first page was missing where DIck opened the front door and yelled “out damn’d Spot.”

The Gothic version. Here’s one I remember…..See Jane. See Dick. Run Jane run. I wonder were they trying to subliminal my fragile little mind.xD

At least George is learning to read and doing quite well. Don’t let him read the book about meteors.

It still is Verne and it will stay that way as long as so many resist the change that’s required.

Never thought I’d see a reference to https://yalebooksblog.co.uk/2013/04/05/thomas-hobbes-solitary-poor-nasty-brutish-and-short/ in the comics

George needs a hug. Where is Hammy? :)

I see we have a student of Thomas Hobbes among us.

I love George. Well…not in that way ya know.
