I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS STRIP???
NOW I know what hampster Huey and the gooey kablooie is. I think it shows up in another strip I did see as a kid and I just assumed it was a reference to something we didn’t know about as the audience
Hamster Huey shows up in at least a half-dozen strips. It even has a sequel!
In order, all of the “Hamster Huey” strips:

Nice collection! That was most of the ones I was thinking of. But wasn’t there one where the mom tells the dad “Oh, but you look so cute doing the ‘happy hamster hop!’”? Think he was grumbling to her about reading it again. “I don’t want to look cute!”
You’re right, sorry! It wasn’t indexed here.

Ah, that’s right - was thinking it was a weekday comic! Probably why it wasn’t indexed - it was part of the “throwaway” bit at the top.
OH SHIT, THATS FUCKIN RAD
COMMANDER CORRIANDER SALAMANDER AND ER SINGLEHANDER BELLYLANDER 😤
My kids were quoting that whole name for like a week when they found it! 🤣
The Noodle Incident never actually gets explained anywhere in the series, though it’s an ongoing gag.

It gets referenced in the webcomic Freefall, where we find out that the incident really was caused by an alien, namely Sam Starfall. We never find out what happened though.
I figured this was just another one of those! I guess in some ways it still is, but still
Those are so cute, I hadn’t seen many of those! :)
NOW I know what hampster Huey and the gooey kablooie is
I mean, it’s only mentioned in the throwaway joke in the first two panels, and we don’t really get any information on it other than the title.
I think the strip I was familiar with was Calvin begging his dad to read him hampster Huey and the gooey kablooie again
Its fun to have seen some interaction with it. Maybe Calvin just thought this was super fun and wanted this again lol
