Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for March 22, 2024

Build a wall indeed, Hammy. And don’t forget that it will be the Argentinian racoons that will pay for it.

According to the internet one Argentinian peso equals .0012 cents U.S.

Oh dear, Hammy is getting political.

Don’t cry for me Argentina

Which is a worse problem, inflation or shrinkflation?

Are there raccoons in Argentina?

Give me your tired. your poor, your hungry raccoons yearning to eat free …

Easter candy prices are soaring.

I was going to say that this strip was a dud but that would inflate my importance.

With Biden Economics, it won’t be long before they cost that much here. Especially if people are dumb enough to re-elect him. Oh, and the price of a 5 oz milk duds are $1.50 here.

$38 for a jar of Cheese Wiz in Pond Inlet

It would make far more sense to just give up the Duds. Become Dud-free. Or make their own Duds from their own leche and Dud ingredients.

We’re (in the US) having a little problem with shrinkflation. Also just plain price increases for bigger profits.

That’s what happens when politicians get ahold of a nations wealth. They will give everything away to buy votes and stay in power.

For a silly squirrel, Hammy has remarkably insightful moments.

Or you could build a hedge.

“Build a wall.” A very squirrelly solution.
