While the events of Star Wars was going on, in a galaxy far far away, our heroes (the hamsters) also had a little war going on of their own. Unfortunately when the first Death Star exploded so did these hamsters and the story wasn’t able to last as long as George Lucas’ Star Wars; hence why you haven’t heard of this adventure til now. :] In case you didn’t know this is a tribute piece of this:
Anyway, I was a huge Star Wars geek as a kid. I watched the first three (episode 4-6) at least 100 times a piece and i had collected so many freakin’ toys from Hasbro that I could probably sell them all and buy a house. I shit you not, I think i have a full army of Storm Troopers in a box in my garage! :O This is why when I got the suggestion to draw “a hamster,” with a post-script saying “it can be anything, as long as it’s not dead,” I thought to myself for moment and envisioned a hamster standing victoriously over 1000s of bodies of dead animals with a sword high in the air as he screams “I AM NOT DEAD.” Moments later i completely forgot that idea and remembered Star Wars was bad ass (before Jar Jar Binks was added to the cast), so I did this tribute. :]
I leave you with this:
Also, when you get bored I will be frequenting TNPchat, which is a new section at the collective website, so come on by!

Don’t tell Richard Gere about this.
Too late…
Luke … I am not just your cousin … I am your father, too … yes, it is true!

brilliant Joenis
Thank you Sir.
I love the death hamster ball star thingy!! I have so many fond memories of hamsters runnin around in those.
I think I would have also liked the hamster on a mountain of dead bodies idea too.
You had one of those hamster balls too? I thought they were fun and funny.. until i took the hamster out and he was covered in his own poo.
something was clearly wrong with your hamster then.
Mine always came out poo-free.
Even the time my cousin booted him across the room (he loved soccer). I felt bad but secretly laughed at the poor guy bc the centrifugal force pushed him so flat up against the wall of the hamster ball as he flew through the air.
And then he rolled around all dizzy like for a few minutes.
Sigh. one of the best memories with that ol hamster. good ol whatever his name was.
What in God’s name is up w/ Ronald ‘Crackhead’ McDonald?!
Exactly. It’s God.
What?!!
Ronald McDonald, is GOD. He is your savior.
eeeep
lol i love hamsters but i like my guinea pig more
I had a hamster when i was little, I named him “hot dog” ironically enough. ^_~ What did you name yours?
I’ve considered getting a Guinea Pig… I want another animal other than a dog.
well i originally wanted to call him Gizmo, as in from the movie Gremlins cuz i love that little mogwai
but then my family wanted to call him Tribble because they are Star Trek fans so we ended up calling him that :\
so yeah Tribble …
Gizmo would have been better…Only cos idk anything about Star Trek but love Gremlins. My friend named her Shitzu Gizmo, i hate that dog. LOL… I want to get a ferret and name it Mogwai. Have you ever listened to that band? oh man, are they good.
My new favorite! Even better than the death metal crock angel.
Nice, It’s good to know that I’ve been able to top myself. I hope to find something even better sometime in the future. ^^
A (ham)sterpiece indeed!
I like your play on word Sir. :]
you have a good choice of title also. i like the wit in it.
btw, you do have a very nice site. i will surely come back for more
