Where can I find, ” Over The Hedge” in a newspaper in the South Jersey area. I know it’s not in the AC Press, the Philadelphia Inquirer or the Cumberland Journal. I have to go out each morning to get the Star Ledger because it is not delivered in this area. Love squid spleens. Eat them all the time.
I think you are incredible! I love your strip and your tweets.
I read “Over the Hedge” every day! I have news for you, however, and offer it so that you do not embarrass yourself. For Christians, the First Day of Christmas is December 25–Christmas Day. The Twelfth Day of Christmas is called Epiphany–January 6. Isn’t that a coincidence: 12 days!
Over the Hedge is the only comic strip I read in our local paper, The Conroe Courier! I love it! I LOVE the 12 days of Christmas this year, and wish I could get a copy of all of the strips.
Yes, it is cute, and I read it every day. Still, the current episode has nothing to do with the Twelve Days of Christmas, which begins on 12/25 each year and ends on 1/6 each year. (And, I’m not smart enough to figure out what Cassidy has to do with it????)
Have you all considered putting out some books, especially the 12 days of Christmas in book form? I can’t get enough of your funny stuff!
Can’t believe I didn’t find this until now! Herewith, I officially dump the newspaper and bow to the wonderfulness of the interwebs… (loved the movie! I volunteered with a couple of wildlife rehabbers, one of our specialties was ‘possums.. the Over the Hedge possums were awesome!).
Over the Hedge rocks!
Michael would you please consider asking T to consider making the eyes of the tiny little mouse that many of us enjoy … softer and not big black scary ones like he had Sat., Jan 7th.
Thank you …
Happy New Year, Michael! I miss reading the strip daily in that paper that shall not be mentioned in New York. Watching ‘Over the Hedge’ movie now on ABC.
Hope you are yours are well
Do you remember a strip from the late 90s. A hunter is talking about a bird he wants to bag and end’s with “them’s good eatin’.” The gang spots the hunters and one of them says something like, “Oh, look, there’s a pot bellied, red-faced, gun toten’, cigar chompin’ good ole boy, and them’s good eatin’!” Reminds me of today’s politicians. I would like to find that strip.
I’m looking for a reprint of the 1-11-98 over the hedge where Verne re-invents the frosty the snoman origin story to the theme from the sistine chapel
This is pretty late, but do you think there could ever be an Over the Hedge 2 movie, I Loved the first one

Dunno how close the movie is to your series but the movie is really good. I’ve read only a few strips. I love the ethos presented in the movie. The Hamlette is my favorite and if you don’t mind, tell ‘Steve’ he should be a lot taller.
