Just play the tapes. The ones he ignores are on the record.

Can’t get bootleg U.S. network TV anymore down here. Have to rely on Twitter’s teaser’s of Reuters and NYT headlines and Over the Hedge… I’m worried about that post nasal drip platform; it sounds slimy and dangerous. Shih tzus? I just do know you all are lucky because you can really look at the issues. Try trying to ferret all this out this in a foreign language.

Leave political bias out of the cartoons. Vote Trump/Pence !! Hillary sucks but not as good as Monica !!

Such a cop-out. I wanted to know how Hammy’s hugs would effect Hilary.

If Hammy wanted to give an impressive demonstration he would hugged Lie-ary and make a drop of truth fall from her.

Stick to writing comics and leave politics to the people who bore us every other hour of the day.

If you don’t like the politics in the cartoon, go somewhere else. This is Lewis&Fry’s platform for whatever they want, we are just visitors.

Humm, well I do have a “Polictical Page”, but this comic doesn’t really fit there since most of the time it does not seem to be political. However it doesn’t seem to fit in my regular comic page either. So goodbye. I read my regular comic page to laugh, not to read the op ed page.

Hey, it’s only an arc. Not for long. And it’s funny.

So, like, no one has noticed that OTH snarks at humans and human conceits in general? Politics is the greatest conceit of all, so expect snarkiness.

You certainly used your ass to develop and draw this one. As in asinine. You have little virtue, it seems. Certainly no embrace of TRUTH. As you fully embrace the most brazen, deceptive, self-serving politician to ever run for the Presidency.

as far as I am concerned they both have given us good reason to not vote for the other. They have effectively shown us that neither is a good choice. Now if Hammy were to do a group hug, that might be funny.

I think we all need a big dose of Hammy about now. I thank God for my fast forward on the DVR so I can skip over the Political ads as I’m not into propaganda. I just can not stand the Shrillery’s voice, God save me from 4 years of that voice. At any rate, like the old song: “detour, there is a muddy road ahead” (1950’s country western song). Demon-crats or Repugnant-cuns: heads or tails (Rolling Stones philosophy: meet the new boss, same as the old boss). God help us all.

The writers of this strip have every right to state their opinions in any way in which they want to.

Hillary is slightly less competent and slightly less honest than Trump. #SMOD2016

How about this: YOU’RE FIRED! You have lost me as a customer (reader) by delivering POLITICS rather than your usual very funny comic stuff. And this has nothing to do with who you support. Take your crap to the editorial section and watch as your strip slowly goes from Over the Hedge to Out of Business. I say the sooner the better. This longtime fan is now….gone.

As Hammy IS everything Trump is NOT, I don’t call this so much politics as social commentary, which is a constant over the hedge source of humor.
The Trump folks ticked off are funnier, like Ken Keasey’s folks over the cuckoo’s nest, in the same sad sense, and mental capacity.

This is not what I expect from adult workers, leave the politics at home.
DutchUncle over 8 years ago
When real-life politics is absurd enough for Hammy to be involved, it DOES belong on the comics page. How can THESE possibly be the main choices we’re presented with?
