Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for January 18, 2025

The comment section is not going to descend into US politics now is it? Ah, too late.

I remember an old “Bloom County” strip where an alien asked Opus that very same question. He sent them to a grocery store that was a “price leader”.

This made me think about October 30, 1938.

No self respecting alien would abduct our leaders.

Prepare to be sent back home unless you have a billion dollars.

Why, President Musk, of course.

Drone sightings went from 500 to now 1 or 2 a day.

Not going to happen. We’re still a fly by planet.

“we have met the enemy, and he is us”

Better hurry…

It figures that it would happen in NJ! So gullible that lot, idiots haven’t learned from the lesson that Orson Welles taught them almost a century ago!

I once went into a fishing tackle store and told them “take me to your leader”.

I guess that’s Supreme leader Elon Musk

I assume they’re looking for the leader of the majority of Earth’s population.

They need a better navigational system. And to take off to another planet… At least.

If this is set in the USA, that would be JB at the moment ………… good luck with that!

The adjective/adverb (?)should be “which”—— not “what” leader. Besides, none of the questionable leaders have the right stuff!

I’ve long wondered what aliens would do if they found out nobody rules the whole world. Would they try to fill the void?

Yup, this strip has little hints of the old ‘Pogo’ from my (quite) distant youth.

Saucer lands next Tuesday and he’s in the bunker and refuses to come out.

I, for one, welcome our new three-eyed overlords. They have promised to only eat Democrats. Until they run out.

Hat tip to Pogo…“we have met the enemy and he is us”

Yeah, Joey Biden hasn’t been a leader.
