Description
Over the Hedge, created by T Lewis and Michael Fry, takes a freshly skewed look at suburban living from the perspective of the animals who lived there first. The strip stars RJ, a mischievous raccoon, and Verne, his sensitive best-buddy turtle. Together they fight to save their wooded wonderland from the evils of encroaching suburbia but end up becoming distracted by wide-screen TVs, discarded fast food containers and the fun of wreaking havoc on the local homeowners' association.Tags

Several weeks ago LW3 and I somehow got to talking about the comic strip Over the Hedge, and I lamented that I had never been able to find any collections of it. And lo! four volumes of it appeared under our Christmas tree! This was just as funny as I remembered (though I'm not sure I'd ever read any of these earliest strips before). RJ (the raccoon) and Verne (the turtle) are hilarious. I may now walk around saying, "What obtains, squirt?" to people, all of whom will have no notion what I'm on about.
