In the delightful strip Over the Hedge, R.J., a mischievous
raccoon, and his best friend Verne, the philosophical turtle,
notice the suburban sprawl that's encroaching on their woodland
home, but decide to stick around anyway. While they've given up
some of their pristine paradise, the pair has been rewarded with
the addictive booty of modern living: big-screen TVs, hot tubs,
Twinkies, and hours of fun wreaking havoc with the local
homeowner's association.
Created by Michael Fry and T Lewis, Over the Hedge mirrors the
life of many suburbanites in America today, those folks who want to
retreat from the city and commune with nature, but can't give up
the comforts of suburbia. As R.J. and Verne hilariously demonstrate
by fly-fishing for hot dogs off backyard barbecues, it is possible
to have it all.
Over the Hedge 3 proves the point. Consider many of Over the
Hedge's lovable and laughable situations, such as when Verne
crashes the Internet by e-mailing his Spam and potato chip pie
recipe to seven million people. Or the time Nate and Norene, R.J.
and Verne's human neighbors, go camping to be closer to nature, not
realizing that the wildlife they want to be near has moved,
standing room only, into their vacated living room watching Hogan's
Heroes. Or the sweet scenario when R.J. and Verne discover, as they
look out over a peaceful valley, that maybe people are looking for
all the wrong things in all the wrong places.
Together, Fry and Lewis have devised a delightful strip in Over
the Hedge that pleases readers who treasure its genial humor and
gentle convictions. Over the Hedge 3 is certain to be a wildly
successful book!
