Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for August 21, 2024

He’s been on a path to enlightenment, and hasn’t taken the first step.

It would be easy to travel a path of enlightenment through Canada. Every third restaurant is a McDonald’s, a Subway or an A&W.

A path of enlightenment could be through the tropics.

I wish we had an A & W.

If you don’t want enlightenment in Des Moines, take I-80 or I-35 around it. If you do want some “enlightenment” there, take I-235.

Root beer is gross.

There! I said it!

Float with me and become enlightened – Pennywise

Is Plushie actually a character from the past or just part of today’s story line?

“How many floats must a man down, before you can call him a man?”

When I was a kid, after the last half-day of school, the school bus drivers would take all us rural kids to the A&W and treat each one to either an ice cream cone or a root beer float.

Plushie is an orphan, who tries to find out where to fit in, in the great cosmos of the collective unconscious.

Plushie is so cute! I hope he hangs around permanently.

Plushie has been absent from the Over the Hedge strip since 1999???
