Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for February 08, 2024

Hammy plays a good distraction.

Don’t forget the Red Bull.

Im not too sure standing in the path of a bazooka blast is all that safe

Alas, the poor hyphen is becoming extinct! It should have been: “bird-seed-stealing squirrel.” Without the hyphens, it means that bird seed is going around stealing squirrels!

Rule One with a bazooka….Never stand behind it when ready to fire.

The Siege of Firebase Gloria …. Shoot ! … Denordo …Shoot !

Is Hammy okay?

Had a hawk couple brooding just around the block last year; serious reduction in the squirrel population. I suspect there is a rebound in process, lots of leftover acorns.

Never, ever stand behind a bazooka!

The animals in my kitchen always stand there with the fridge door open, too.

“Someone get a chair we’re going for the Rocky Road.”

Oh, so this was all a distraction.

Aren’t they worried about Hammy??

BUNNY!

I take it that Hammy …………… is the distraction ….. :)

Does anyone else understand that this is a political (editorial) cartoon?

Hammy enjoys being a distraction. For him it’s center stage with dual spotlights.

Verne and RJ are doing them a favor. Emptying out the leftovers.
