Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for February 16, 2021

Sadly, once dead, most of us are forgotten.

How often do we visit the cemeteries.

Also, I think this does qualify as a “fat joke.”

If Gasoline Alley, Barney Google and Thimble Theater are any indications, RJ will still be wolfing down Twinkies long after Twinkies, Inc, (or whoever makes them) has gone out of business.

There are three deaths: the first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment when your name is spoken for the last time.

Once you die, you’ll be forgotten. Especially if you haven’t done anything that’s made a great impact or difference.

I hope RJ isn’t at the end of his bandity life cycle.

You’re too much of a nut job for that to happen.

I’m surprised that Hostess doesn’t use RJ in their advertising.

Maybe not so much visiting cemeteries as just remembering. For instance, when I die all of my grandparents will “die” with me. Not other living person (that I know of) remembers them.

In RJ’s case, it may be until the Twinkies wrappers degrade in a landfill.
