    Poor RJ, how will he live forever without his artificial ingredients?

    “Over the Hedge News” is a bit slow on the uptake. Then again, they were able to get partway into the new storyline before killing off R.J. It’s a start

    Oh yeah, I forgot about RJ’s soul-selling obsession for Twinkies!

    When I first heard of these troubles RJ was my second thought after feeling so sad for the thousands that will be out of work. This is going to be a real ‘rough-patch’ for our little guy IMO.

    Yep, I thought that news would interrupt ANY story arc in this strip.

    No fear the AED Vern is using will shoot 100% twinkie power into RJ, he will be in his usual position on the log very soon.

    Look on the bright side. At least they took RJ’s mind off of saving Christmas for a moment.

    Did I read “partisan propaganda” in your rant? Re-read it just for the irony in that.The election is over, your guy won, and you STILL post this?!? Notice more irony? This is a comic strip. My intent coming here was to smile at it, but thank you for giving me another reason to chuckle.

    The Hostess company was forced to shut down when the heads of the bakers union in each plant (34 people) refused to accept the agreement the other unions had accepted. 34 people killed Hostess.

    Did you actually read your rant? How about the part of “Some people just too self-centered, arrogant and condescending to have any sense of what is right and what is wrong, nor have they any compassion.”

    Yea, take your post some where else.

    Has anyone here ever tried Little Debbie Cloud Cakes? They’re similar to Twinkies, but I’ve never had them.

    @Russell5419 how is President Obama to blame? You have Hedge fund managers that ran a company into the ground twice and a group of bakers that were tired of asking to give up more for less benefits? The ones at fault for Hostess is plain and simply both sides even in a good economy Hostess was on thin ice financially. And the worst part is the same Hedge fund mangers want thier executive bonuses paid out.

    Even slaves got paid (but could spend it only at the “company store”). “Kindly old massa” didn’t take care of those too old and feeble to work. He sold them their freedom, with no means of support except their families – if he hadn’t already broken them up in sales. We are heading back to those days rapidly and "massa"’s supporters who think they will become slave owners not only will be the slaves – they already are.

    hostess went bankrupt due to many factors. one factor is the fact that they would not make/market/develop a lower calorie twinkie when the american public wanted healthier options. another factor is the increasing use of artificial ingredients in their foods. another factor was the financial mismanagement of the executives, the lack of strategic vision of the ceo, and overburdening debts that they incurred. plus, we will get over not having twinkies. we got over tab, and diet rite, and clear pepsi and 8 tracks, platform shoes, and zima, and other things.
