Over The Hedge

Rating:
Summary: Good fun
Review: "Over the Hedge" is an appealing enough strip, revelling in the consumer culture of which we are all victims, "guzzling Mrs. Butterworth's." America is a sick place, and the joke's on us, not on the critters that arise from our senseless lifestyles.

Summary: Simply The Best
Review: Great comic book. Easily one of the best strips in the paper today. Its kind of like looking at what happened to all of those characters in Bambi after they grew up and reality hit 'em! This is up there with Get Fuzzy, Far Side, and even Peanuts. Over The Hedge is hilarious and will be around for a long long time...LONG LIVE TWINKIE FISHING!

Review: Some of you out there, like me, may not have been blessed to watch the birth of Over the Hedge and see the early development of RJ and Verne. That's what makes this collection so wonderful...see the early, scrawny RJ and his graceful transformation into the loveable glutton we know today. Check out the size of Verne's head in the early strips. Yet throughout, RJ and Verne have always served as a source of biting (though never rabid) social commentary.

Summary: Welcome to an animal world beyond Pogo!
Review: This is the very beginning of a very amusing saga involving funny animals - a welcome combination of "Calvin and Hobbes", "The Bloom County", and "Pogo", which are all now gone forever from the funny pages. In this zany comic strip, the follies of human nature are slyly observed through the bright eyes of a know-it-all turtle and an arrogant raccoon with his unquenchable thirst for chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate! Though this book may not be recommanded for anyone who don't have time for so many words, there are still fans out there who would love to read such witty dialouge from this silly pair of surburban slinkers!
