Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for March 11, 2024

A little too much TEQUILA!

I hope Hammy doesn’t want to go for a flight. He might get pulled over for FUI.

They must have started life as the worm at the bottom of the bottle.

I have an extensive butterfly garden at my house in SoCal. I severely prune all the nectar sources and milkweed in October; nevertheless, a few late migraters lingered and laid eggs throughout the fall and early winter in spite of my repeatedly warning them that there was nothing to eat here and to fly south to Mexico. They never listen and their poor caterpillars hatched out into one of the wettest winters in decades. It’s warming up now and my nectar sources are starting to bloom, and the milkweed is putting out new leaves, so I’m ready to welcome the more sensible migraters back from Mexico. Summer around my house is always a riot of butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds … Hammy would love it here!

at least they did not drink the water

If it wasn’t for “HIC” in first panel I would’ve guessed fried from running away from bad elements killing the tourist industry.

A little too much fun from the looks of things.

Looks like they enjoyed Tulum…

I read a recent study that the migratory monarchs are having trouble with reduced habitat, but there are pockets where they thrive without the need to migrate.

Tequila! I always wondered why monarch butterflies went to Mexico.

One of them was the mescal worm.

monarchs gone wild?

Butterfly effect

Personal opinion, Tequila is just about the worst tasting alcohol there is.

Since they’re monarchs, perhaps they drank Corona.

Back early this year. Darn climate change.
