Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for February 21, 2022

The funniest OTH in a long time.

Hey, if they can pull off the Pach-man’s canon, tape record that for me. I don’t think I need to be there for the live show.

Do you smell gas ?

They are just clearing the air on that subject.

Those don’t sound like anything Pachelbel emitted.

Don’t worry, Verne. We have enough characters as it is, anyways. Sometimes, less is more.

The only way I can make that sequence match the melody of Pachelbel’s Canon is to make one of those toots last two notes. I don’t know; your mileage may vary.

It’s a pretty song!

I thought it was the Ode to Joy.

same question asked by Pepe LePew

That’s probably because cartoonists usually make them judgmental or just not funny. Would ruin the strip.

Mel Brooks referenced the French “fartist” in Blazing Saddles" more than once, and Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” was “desecrated” by being the main theme in the movie, “Ordinary People” , and a Christmas tune by Mannheim Steamroller called the “Christmas Canon”, which is quite beautiful, by the way.

And through it all, Pachelbel’s “Canon” survives as a wonderful piece of music, and Blazing Saddles" remains an absolutely delightful bit of “sophomoric” humor.

Love seeing George participate in their activities:)

Inspired by “Mr. Me-thane”! One of Howard Stern’s “wack pack” years ago…

Shouldn’t that be Taco Bell’s cannon?

I could have sworn it was in the key of “F”, not “D” …
