Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for May 03, 2020

Awww. RJ: Go over there and give Hammy a hug!

I know that I am out of touch, but is this a Fred Rodgers anniversary of some kind, or close to one?

We feel your pain, Hammy. Hang in there.

fred will be happy !

And the band played on …

Where can I get a Critter Tunes?

That’s a Hammy B3 if ever I saw one.

Just go to the grocery store Hammy. I’ll be there to ring you up and smile with my eyes. Thanks guys.

Aww…poor Hammy…

The strong reason to defeat this virus.

Um…. why is the Daniel Tiger’s neighborhood theme song in a over the hedge comic?

I wonder what Fred himself would say about this situation.

What would Mr. Rogers have done with this mess we’re in?

A friend recently sent me this:

When you go out and see the empty streets, the empty stadiums, the empty train platforms, don’t say to yourself, “It looks like the end of the world.” What you’re seeing is love in action. What you’re seeing in that negative space, is how much we do care for each other, for our grandparents, for the immuno-compromised brothers and sisters, for people we will never meet.

People will lose jobs over this. Some will lose their businesses. And some will lose their lives. All the more reason to take a moment, when you’re out on a walk, or on your way to the store, or just watching the news, to look into all the emptiness and marvel at all that love.

Let if fill and sustain you. It isn’t the end of the world. It is the most remarkable act of global solidarity that we may ever witness.

Paul Williams

I think I am Hammy

In the years of the COVID19 Plague, that is being neighborly.

Mr. Rogers: the one man who even the worst internet troll won’t touch.

Mr. Rogers is great. Miss you, good sir. Thanks for the tribute, Lewis & Fry.

Aww poor Hammy I wish I could hug him.
