Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for October 08, 2024

When I had Covid, the first time, I still had to draw a comic.

Some of my worst work, ever.

Twin keys.

Reruns … with a disclaimer citing COVID. There are two kinds of humor—Funny Once and Funny Always. Over the Hedge is Funny Always.

Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!…

Reminds me of the time Charlie Sheen quit his sitcom and decided to improvise a podcast without writers. That turned out well (chortle).

Comic strips can be very hard, especially when you need to come up with a new gag every single day.

Just got my Covid booster shot yesterday, arm is sore today, other than that, I am feeling fine so far, wish me luck.

I have Covid and preparing for an a** whoop’n in Central Florida!

That was caused by those ludicrous shorts!

When I have covid, it like a mild cold, except that one of the days, I sleep all day and can’t stay awake. I don’t cough, or run a fever, I just am really tired for one day. Then, all over.

ruh, roh

You need to get over this Covid thing really, really, fast….or there is going to be a comic war over the hedge.

I give all strip writers their due, how many of us can come up with something every day, funny or not?

Maybe Billy from “Family Circus” can fill in.

To be honest, what I think is

nothing really rhymes with “Twinkies.”

Even kids who play with Slinkies

know that nothing rhymes with “Twinkies.”

Velma, Scooby’s pal’d say "Jinkies!

I know zero rhymes with ‘Twinkies.’"

Even babies, sucking binkies,

know you can’t find rhymes for “Twinkies.”

So “spatula” will just have to do the job.

So far I’ve missed catching the plague. At my age, shots and boosters are all that stand between me and a respirator.

Twinkies: pinkies, stinkies, binkies, inkies, minkies, winkies, blinkies, dinkies, hinkies, thinkies
