Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for January 04, 2023

Put on your ruby slippers and close your eyes and say, “There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.”

theme from the Greatest American Hero running through the back halls of my brain’s storage unit.

Don’t they have claws to pop it open?

Maybe he can make a tiny little hole in it so that it slooowwly deflates.

At this point, if getting him out of the bubble doesn’t involve teleportation, then he’s screwed anyway.Actually, I once watched a turtle trying to cross a road survive being used as a tiddly-wink by a tractor-trailer (got run over, then flew thirty feet in the air, only to come back down on my side of the road), then start trying to cross the road again (Guy had a purpose). So maybe scratch the screwed part.

remember it’s @ before # except after $

If Verne’s screaming gets high-pitched enough, the vibrational harmonics should crack that sucker like a pinata. Then all Verne has to do is land on top of everybody else. Problem solved.

Why is it Verne wants to speak Esperanto at a time like this? Then when Hammy talks, is that what written Esperanto looks like?

keeps reminding me of the scene in ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ where Glinda arranges an escape by bubble but “Oz” has a bit of trouble dealing with it.

I just love multilingual squirrels!!

Lasu min forigi tiun @#$% bobelon. Well you asked for the Esperanto.

The real question is “How can we land this bubble safely?” I can hardly wait to see how this arc ends.

Hammy’s butterfly friends should be along any moment.
