Yes, this is two week old news, but this is as fast as we can get to print. Which must seem ridiculous for those of you reading online. But Hedge is still primarily a print comic, so our deadline fidelity is still to a dying horse-drawn industry in the age of instant cosmopolitans and microwave tater-tots.
The good part in all this is that RJ has been spared the traumatic news for two weeks. Much like Cora, Duchess of Grantham on Downton Abbey last night was spared the news from the front that Matthew Crowley, the Earl in waiting, was missing in action. Over the Hedge and Downton Abbey being, of course, so similar in scope and quality that it hardly bears mentioning.
Or as the Dowager Countess might say, “Both to the manor born. Though only one be born with manners. “
OMG! i love Downton Abbey, awesome to here that i’m not the only crazy person
It looks like it´s time to move the national Twinkie reserve from
Carlsbad Caverns to The Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan
wing, which has a very slow timer for the robbery alarm, so
RJ can get into it whenever he wants. Insider snacking.
It was news to me. At first I thought it was just a gag until I googled “hostess bankruptcy”. Sad, but when food prices are skyrocketing, I imagine the twinkie/cupcake is the first to go from the lunchbox.
And lets not forget the microwave sushi.
Michael how very special that you reference ‘Downton Abbey’ in your comments here.
I guess we have a Season 3 to look forward to … doing a happy-dance with that news.
