Hedley has kids?!(this strip first ran January 16, 2011)

really funny

He sleeps with his hat on!?

His cellphone must be specially waterproofed.

What was that about “set mass murder aside for the moment”? Why should anyone who is a member of the targeted part of the world, do this?

If I read any more of Roland’s tweets I ‘ll wind up with 1 less brains cells than he has. Let’s see, yep that would be zero. I hear his boss has the same number.

I think I will

Someone please run over to the library and make sure Keenan’s OK. I fear bigfoot broke in and tore his (Keenan’s, not bigfoot’s) arms out of his sockets in the middle of his comment. Tragic.

Roland says his tweets are like his children. Is he talking about his newest tweet?

What’s that frilly white coller peeking out of the top of Hedley’s jacket in panel 3? Is he wearing a women’s blouse under that jacket? It doesn’t show up in the rest of the panels. I wonder if GT is just teasing us.

Brilliant. Our latest vain addiction is off the tracks.IamsogladGaryissotopicalandnailedit.

I think that “frilly collar” is really just the wooly lining of his coat. It is hard to think in those terms since we are now enduring triple digits, but someone mentioned that this strip was first run in January.

@ Roland

“How is Obama not like Hitler? … Now who’s nutty?

Obama’s more of an unconstitutional Kenyan usurper, Sarge Roland.

I firmly believe that drivers who tweet are twits !

And this is why I do not have twitter. Kill brain cells faster than Jack Daniels and with out any of the fun of doing it.

Well, the strip today does illustrate one truth: Twitter is full of people like Hedley who spout off inane, self-serving, self-centered garbage. I’ve yet to find one Twitter feed worth watching for more than 10 minutes. Sad. No wonder society is in the garbage masher.

I always enjoy Hedley’s ability to avoid noticing his surroundings. He is, after all, using a name from Blazing Saddles: Hedley Lamarr played by Harvey .korman. And his sideburns are sometimes reminiscent of Elvis.

You and I are approximately the same age. Just wondered if you read Flo and Friends? Not always on the mark, but I enjoy it. You always have such good comments, I’d like to see you there occasionally.

Uncanny how the President’s numbers are up. I looked at the RCP averages and they still look favorable for us progressives.

“Just watch on the 17th. Sheriff Joe will …”

Beginning to sound more & more like Harold Camping, Sarge. “The world is going to end on Columbus Day, I mean it this time!”
