Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for November 20, 2017

Let’s not forget that in the early days of the strip Verne accidentally shoots RJ (twice) with a gun they found lying around a human’s house they were looting.

The storyline begins here:

The first shot happens two strips later:

The whole story lasts 24 strips, ending on May 12.

Here we are about celebrate Thanksgiving and again this issue comes up. This is not at all funny, especially towards children.

Uh-Oh.

Here we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving, a holiday honoring the genocide of hundreds of millions of native Americans, and some tasteless comic strip reminds us that America is the massacre capital of the world-except for some 4th World African nations. Whee! And let’s not forget Columbus Day, in celebration of the First Genocidist.

I love that ancient TV. Haven’t seen one of those since I was a kid.

Josh LyonsYou are right its not funny. Since the first of the year there have been 13,775 gun deaths in the US and 321 mass shootings. There is nothing funny about that at all. It is however tragic, especially since it is entirely preventable.

Hopefully Hammy knows to stay away from it.

Now why would a gun be lying in the grass? Either it doesn’t work, or somebody just used it in a crime and ditched it awfully hastily.

Just remember; when Thanksgiving is outlawed, only outlaws will have Thanksgiving.

If only we could throw away a lot more guns.

Next, go read Pearls Before Swine (for the same day.)

Uh-oh!
