Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for January 24, 2025

Happens to me every time I close my eyes. It is called Closed -Eye hallucinations.

I’ve been staring at the wall

And trying not to lose my head

I can feel the insanity is not too far away

It’s been knocking me dead

We’re going back to the ice age

And not like we did before

I’m trapped in this cage, I’ve got an itch that can’t be cured

It’s calling me out

[Chorus]There’s a party in my head (Woah-oh)

We’re all locked up, we’re all shut down

There’s a party in my head (Woah-oh)

I can’t get enough and I never wanna stop

Simple things for simple minds.

For a second there, I thought he just guzzled down a bunch of energy drinks.

Oh, no no no no. Do not rub your eyes like that! Bad comic, bad!!!!

There was actually an arc from years ago where Sammy (before he switched places in the mirror with Hammy), along with several of the other woodland animals, were amazed by the effects of rubbing one’s eyes.

I had to start wearing safety goggles to keep from rubbing my eyes.

Side effect of the toxic political gas Fry and Lewis have been releasing lately. As time passes, Hammy will recover in post-election fresh air.

No, I’m not crazy. The easiest way to do this is outside on a sunny day. Not looking at the sun of course. Unfocus your eyes to see the floaters, relax them a little more and you will see very active dots. I assume these are individual cells but would like confirmation. Another puzzle. If you are at the precise center of magnetic north pole, does a compass not move or spin?

OMG!….. I’d forgotten about the eye-rubbing effect…. from sooooo many years ago!

I’m so old that first thing in the morning I only have to look far left or right and I see comets circling, supposedly around the lenses in front of my eyes. It freaks me out so I have to avoid doing that.

In my younger, dope smoking days I used to amuse myself that way. Somehow, I got past it.

Bubbles … tiny bubbles … looking at me …

I did this as a kid so much it deformed my eyes! Made them football shaped, according to the ophthalmologist who did my PRK.
