And a Squirrel Will Lead Them

RJ’s going to forget all this in three… two… one….

The One With Mr. Spock

Or logically insane.

Furry Trek

Awesome ship design by T. It’s based on the NASA warp-drive concept spacecraft. 

Hammy Bee Huggin’

I vote we make Hammy Ambassador to Vulcan. They’ll never know what hugged them.

The One Where Verne is Awesomely Annoying

Verne’s super power is logic.  Which when applied to a sketchy evil plan to unleash chaos on the universe (or a cartoonist who’s written himself into a corner)  is fairly effective.  The rest of the time it’s just annoying.

Verne is the Mr. Spock of Over the Hedge.

Except without the Vulcan nerve pinch or the every seven year blood lust mate or die ritual of Pon Farr.

Sigh.

The Hammy Prime Directive

Like Star Trek, we at Over the Hedge have our own prime directive:  The Hammy Prime Directive.

As the right of Hammy to live in accordance with his natural innocence is considered sacred, no Over the Hedge character may interfere with the normal and healthy development of Hammy. Such interference includes introducing superior knowledge, strength, or facts of life to a squirrel who is incapable of handling such advantages without turning all wiggly. Over the Hedge characters may not violate this Prime Directive, even to save a punchline/or avoid embarrassment or humiliation (we’re talking to you Verne!).

So say us all.

 

Beam Me Up, Hammy

Yes, it’s probably all sorts of illegal for us to drop Ozzie into the strip.  But that’s just the way we ride.  Caution to the wind. Renegades. Outlaws.  Playin’ it fast and loose…

…with our pants somewhere down around our ankles.
