Happy New Year... from a few years ago

Happy New Year from Over the Hedge by Michael Fry & T. Lewis, even though this is a few years old.

Christmas two-fer

Since this year Christmas falls on a Tuesday we'll do a Christmas two-fer:

First, an editorial GPS-themed Christmas cartoon by Cameron Cardow (is it me, or does that "reindeer" look like a bear with antlers?):

Then a Mapquest-swiping Christmas card from David Malki's Wondermark:

And finally, Christmas flamingos from Over the Hedge by Michael Fry & T. Lewis:

Merry Christmas y'all and may the new year find you in a geographically pleasant place.

Socks GPS

Here's Over the Hedge by Michael Fry & T. Lewis gets looking for a sock with GPS.

This little light of earthshine

Here Hammy squirrel of Over the Hedge by Michael Fry & T. Lewis gets too shiny.

Free-range kids

In this episode of Over the Hedge from last Fall, the artists Michael Fry & T. Lewis comment on the "Free-range Kids" movement.  Other cartoonists have made similar commentaries about too much adult supervision:

• GPS monitoring of children in Wales
• GPS supervision of children driving
• And then there's the recent news that iPhones might have been sending users' locations back to some corporate home base. 

There's even an instructional book.

Hammy-go-round

Not to be confused with yesterday's "Earth surfing".  This one at least shows part of the Earth.  Over the Hedge by Michael Fry & T. Lewis.

Earth surfing

"Earth surfing" seems like an activity one could do with Google Earth, no? Over the Hedge by Michael Fry & T. Lewis,

Suburban vacation

In July of 2007  Michael Fry & T. Lewis did this Summer-Vacation-themed Over the Hedge episode.

GPS belly button

 

This is another Over the Hedge by Michael Fry & T. Lewis from November of 2007. For those who may not have guessed, Hammy is a deeply odd character.  Hammy masters the GPS quickly and uses it in later adventures.

Mixed nuts

Over the Hedge by Michael Fry and T. Lewis is a great strip. It was made into a movie that was largely forgetable save for the climatic scene where the squirrel has downed and envery drink and is suddenly able to move quickly enough to watch laser beams creep slowly by. That bit was brilliant. The rest of the movie wasn't as good as the weekly strip. I should think Sammy here would do better by using a full-fledged GIS software package next time.
