Hamleto The Hamster

See ya!

2011-07-08T00:01:00.000-05:00

Ok, guys, this is it. As I said before, from now on I'm not going to update regularly Hamleto anymore. However, I may post some strips now and then, so keep an eye on Hamleto's feed if you want to know if there's something new. You can also take a look to my Twitter account or my Facebook page. If I make anything Hamleto-related, I'll let you know there :-) And now, for some thanks. I

A warm birthday party

2011-07-06T00:08:00.000-05:00

A little victory

2011-07-04T00:09:00.001-05:00

Ready for anything

2011-07-01T00:06:00.000-05:00

White moustache

2011-06-29T00:10:00.001-05:00

Hamsters shouldn't be washed

2011-06-27T00:40:00.000-05:00

A hamster to cuddle

2011-06-24T00:07:00.001-05:00

The cardboard house - part four

2011-06-22T00:14:00.001-05:00

The cardboard house - part three

2011-06-20T00:01:00.001-05:00

2011-06-17T00:08:00.000-05:00

The cardboard house - part one

2011-06-15T00:17:00.001-05:00

Rubbing against the cage

2011-06-13T00:01:00.000-05:00

Walking alone

2011-06-10T00:06:00.000-05:00

A far-sighted hamster

2011-06-08T00:29:00.000-05:00

One bag is better than two

2011-06-06T00:20:00.000-05:00

YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE!! THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT! As sad as it is for me to say this, I think it's fair to let you know in advance that I'm going to stop updating Hamleto for good starting from July, 8th. I'm terribly sorry I've taken this decision, but I can't go on updating this strip. It has started to become a tiring work and I'm not as willing to face it as I was 4 years ago.

No matter what happens

2011-06-03T00:44:00.000-05:00

Following in Laerte's footsteps

2011-06-01T00:29:00.000-05:00

Too bad. It would have been nice to see Polonio wearing that cute apron xD

A hard-earned grade

2011-05-30T00:01:00.000-05:00

This actually happened to me when I was in high school :-)

As the wheel turns - part seven

2011-05-27T00:06:00.000-05:00

It's always sad when a love ends... except this time xD And thus concludes our soap-opera. I hope you enjoyed it :-)

As the wheel turns - part six

2011-05-25T00:01:00.000-05:00

See you next strip for the aftermath of this story :-) (because you want to know what happened to Polonio and Laerte, right? :D)

As the wheel turns - part five

2011-05-23T00:03:00.000-05:00

Orazio really knows how to have his way with "words" xD

As the wheel turns - part four

2011-05-20T00:01:00.000-05:00

If this is facing the situation with intelligence and maturity, I'd hate to see him if he wanted to be stupid and childish xD

As the wheel turns - part three

2011-05-18T00:45:00.000-05:00

As the wheel turns - part two

2011-05-16T00:03:00.001-05:00

If I was Hamleto, I think I would rahter wonder how in the world Polonio managed to lift Ofelia up xD

As the wheel turns - part one

2011-05-13T16:00:00.000-05:00

And so the hamsters' soap-opera begins! :D Who will win Ofelia's heart? The witty yet cynical Hamleto? Or the naive yet passionate Polonio? Stay tuned for moar! ;D I'm very very very sorry for the delay of today's strip. Unfortunately, Blogger has passed through a very bad day and the regular publication of Hamleto has felt the effect of it <:-)

Climbing the curtains

2011-05-11T00:27:00.003-05:00

Let's draw a curtain over this strip xD Since you asked for a larger picture of "pirate" Hamleto, here it is :-) I admit I didn't spend too much time on his costume ^^;

A surprise for mom

2011-05-09T00:01:00.000-05:00

At least the "surprise" part went out well xD A warm (belated) wish to all the moms around the world! :D

Hamsters' attention span

2011-05-06T00:28:00.000-05:00

...What were we talking about again? xD

Laerte, the animal trainer

2011-05-04T01:01:00.001-05:00

It's really hard to imagine Laerte being scary xD

Rising owner, sleeping hamster

2011-05-02T02:20:00.000-05:00

This strip is kinda autobiographical 'cause, like Alice, I used to look at my hamster sleeping when I woke up early in the morning to go to school. And I envied him a lot! ^^;

A trip to the United Kingdom

2011-04-29T00:04:00.001-05:00

I think I know where Hamleto is going to take all his friends xD

Return from Easter Island - part two

2011-04-27T00:52:00.000-05:00

Sometimes I wish I could see the world with Polonio's eyes :-)

Return from Easter Island - part one

2011-04-25T00:16:00.000-05:00

Where has Polonio really been? And what is there in that picture? Don't miss the next strip! :D (Yep, I like cliff-hangers ^^)

Painting Easter eggs

2011-04-22T00:36:00.000-05:00

--== HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! ==-- ...And remeber not to eat Easter Eggs painted by Hamleto xD

Car problems

2011-04-20T00:20:00.000-05:00

An unexpected interruption

2011-04-18T00:04:00.001-05:00

I like the fact that no matter how much Polonio tries to avoid Alice, he always ends up getting in her way xD

A walk in the garden - part three

2011-04-15T00:06:00.001-05:00

Good thing for Alice that Hamleto is such a lazy hamster ;D

A walk in the garden - part two

2011-04-13T00:05:00.001-05:00

Poor Hamleto. Technology is not always on hamsters side ^^;

A walk in the garden - part one

2011-04-11T00:15:00.000-05:00

I believe Hamleto doesn't suffer from a "boxed in" complex :-)

The favorite hamster

2011-04-08T00:04:00.000-05:00

Orazio had better think of something good about Hamleto, if that's even possibile xD

Life with babies

2011-04-06T00:05:00.001-05:00

It looks like that Hamleto is quite determinted to not let anything or anyone ruin his current lifestyle <:-)

Doing one's duty

2011-04-04T00:03:00.000-05:00

I'm amazed that it's not hailing xD

Hamleto The Hamster closes

2011-04-01T01:04:00.001-05:00

I'm very VERY sorry about this...

Yard Sale Day

2011-03-30T00:05:00.000-05:00

In case you don't remember, here's how Hamleto got that alarm clock.

From Polonio's travel journal

2011-03-28T00:04:00.000-05:00

Growing a sunflower - part five

2011-03-25T01:01:00.000-05:00

So that's why we haven't seen him around all this time :-)

Growing a sunflower - part four

2011-03-23T00:57:00.001-05:00

Polonio may not have a great sense of direction, but he sure has a great sense of timing xD

Growing a sunflower - part three

2011-03-21T02:04:00.001-05:00

Hamleto can consider himself lucky that it is not a carnivorous plant xD

Growing a sunflower - part two

2011-03-18T01:21:00.000-05:00

It's not his fault if that documentary was boring xD

Growing a sunflower - part one

2011-03-16T01:22:00.000-05:00

Hamleto could at least put a sign on it xD

Interesting photos

2011-03-14T01:26:00.001-05:00

I guess he's going to take pictures of anything from that angle xD

Hamsters' circadian rhythm

2011-03-11T00:24:00.000-06:00

In case you're wondering what a circadian rhythm is, click on the link to read the Wikipedia page on the subject :-)

A lost object

2011-03-09T00:28:00.001-06:00

One could wonder if Hamleto really needed that alarm clock or if he just wanted to play tricks on Laerte. Knowing Hamleto, I'd lean towards the second guess xD

An interesting travel journal

2011-03-07T00:33:00.000-06:00

This conversation is going to give Orazio a hard time... and probably a headache too xD

Fun in the bathtub

2011-03-04T00:40:00.001-06:00

If the bathtub was full, I bet Hamleto would have gone surfing xD

A tender serenade

2011-03-02T01:01:00.001-06:00

Remember Laertes's passion for teddy bears? :-) Oh, and in case you are curious what the heck Hamleto is singing, here's the song ^^ (it could be no other than the King, obviously :D)

Polonio's travel journal

2011-02-28T01:00:00.000-06:00

Maybe he should try making a podcast xD

Laerte and teddy bears - part three

2011-02-25T01:07:00.001-06:00

Orazio always talks too much xD Speaking of "teddy bear" hamsters, some people call "teddy bear" only long haired ones, while some other people call "teddy bear" all kind of golden hamsters. I'm quite confused ^^;

Laerte and teddy bears - part two

2011-02-23T00:57:00.001-06:00

If hugging teddy bears has a relaxing effects, I wonder what kind of effects could have hugging Laerte hugging a teddy bear xD

Laerte and teddy bears - part one

2011-02-21T00:50:00.000-06:00

I guess nobody's surprised knowing that Laerte loves teddy bears :-)

Beware of falling hamsters

2011-02-18T01:11:00.000-06:00

So, that's why Hamleto has a big headache every morning xD

An evening out

2011-02-16T01:08:00.000-06:00

I think Hamleto is going to have to give Ofelia another dozen red roses to make her forgive him about this xD

Flowers for Valentine's Day

2011-02-14T01:24:00.000-06:00

One might think that Laerte is in league with Ofelia xD HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO EVERYBODY! :D

Hard-to-train hamsters

2011-02-11T01:14:00.001-06:00

I'd really like to know what's written in that manual Hamleto is reading xD

Hamsters living together

2011-02-09T01:06:00.001-06:00

...And roots for the same team as the golden one xD

Natural subjects

2011-02-07T01:12:00.000-06:00

Orazio could have warned Ofelia, but a photo op is a photo op xD

Cats on TV

2011-02-04T01:03:00.000-06:00

If there is fun, there's no need to be picky :-)

Budget cuts

2011-02-02T01:07:00.000-06:00

It looks like Hamleto has developed some kind of passion for fireworks, hehe ;-)

An ill-timed sneeze

2011-01-31T01:06:00.001-06:00

...And having a bath in the chichilla sand doesn't help either xD

A safe wheel

2011-01-28T01:03:00.000-06:00

So, that's true that you have to suffer, if you want to get rich xD

Alice is ill - part five

2011-01-26T01:03:00.000-06:00

And this is the end of this mini-arc. I hope Laerte's fans enjoyed it :-) (well, maybe except for the last strip, I guess ^^;) Don't worry, though. Laerte is going to be fine and back to be cute soon ;-)

Alice is ill - part four

2011-01-24T00:50:00.001-06:00

Someone should explain to Laerte the differences between humans and hamsters xD

Alice is ill - part three

2011-01-21T01:07:00.001-06:00

At least, Alice won't get bored while she's stuck in bed xD

Alice is ill - part two

2011-01-19T01:04:00.001-06:00

And don't say that Hamleto doesn't have a care xD

Alice is ill - part one

2011-01-17T00:55:00.000-06:00

I hope Laerte's fans will appreciate this mini-arc, since it's quite Laerte-centered :-)

One phone too many

2011-01-14T01:05:00.001-06:00

Poor Ofelia. It's hard to be a girlfriend AND a hamster <:-)

Hamsters in a condominium

2011-01-12T01:00:00.000-06:00

I guess Orazio could say that Hamleto doesn't need to live in a condominium to complain about everything xD

Safety devices

2011-01-10T01:04:00.000-06:00

Now you know why you won't see hamsters on a bumper car ride xD

Toy hamster

2011-01-07T01:00:00.000-06:00

This strip has been ispired by the famous Zhu Zhu Pets, the toy hamsters that have been all the rage this last couple of years (you've probably heard about them). Judging by all the accessories that come with one of those furry toys, I'm starting to think that buying a real hamster might be cheaper xD

Three Kings' visit

2011-01-05T00:58:00.001-06:00

We already know that Hamleto is a cheater... but in that case he's not even trying xD

New Year's Day fireworks

2011-01-03T01:04:00.001-06:00

--== HAPPY NEW YEAR!! ==-- Welcome back and most of all welcome to a new year of Hamleto's adventures! I hope you spent a joyful and peaceful holidays ^^ ...And I also hope your fireworks went better than Hamleto's xD

Decorating the Christmas tree

2010-12-24T01:57:00.000-06:00

--== A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY VERY GOOD YEAR TO EVERYBODY!! ==-- Thank you very much everybody for following Hamleto's adventures this year! I hope I've been able to make you laugh as I hope I'll be able to do it again next year. Thank you all for your comments, your mails, your visits, your affection and, in general, thank you for your support. Hamleto, Orazio, Laerte, Ofelia,

New Year's Eve fireworks

2010-12-22T01:02:00.001-06:00

I wonder if it's illegal to sell fireworks to hamsters... or, at least, to Hamleto xD Remember to check Hamleto this Friday, because the whole hamster crew and yours truly will send you our holiday greetings before taking a short vacation :-) See you! :3

The formula of happiness

2010-12-20T01:56:00.000-06:00

Judging from that bowl, Hamleto's going to be very happy xD I just wanted to say I was pleasantly surprised at how many kind of food Laerte inside the sock made you think of :D ...To think that when I wrote that strip I was short of ideas xD

An old woolen sock - part two

2010-12-17T01:09:00.001-06:00

As I can see, Laerte's suggestion has been inspiring in more than one sense :D

An old woolen sock - part one

2010-12-15T01:07:00.000-06:00

I must say that Hamleto's got a very personal concept of the word "useful" xD

Talk in a low voice

2010-12-13T00:39:00.000-06:00

I've always wondered what hamsters do all night, but I'm pretty sure it's not what Hamleto does xD

A touching romantic comedy

2010-12-10T01:08:00.000-06:00

And that's what happens with a comedy. I'd hate to know what would happen with a a drama xD

Christmas traditions

2010-12-08T02:34:00.001-06:00

After Ofelia is done jumping to conclusions, I'm sure she'll jump Hamleto xD

A bittersweet joke

2010-12-06T01:06:00.001-06:00

I guess this will teach Hamleto not to play jokes on Laerte :D (or maybe not xD) Thanks a lot to everybody who watched my videos on YouTube! And a big "thank you" goes to everybody who also voted and added one of them on their Favorites list. You really helped me a lot! I truly appreciate your support ^^ So, again, thank you very much! :D

The right cage for the right hamster

2010-12-03T01:41:00.001-06:00

I think not even that is going to stop Polonio xD --== YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE! ==-- In the last two months I've been working on a series of videos I've just uploaded on YouTube a week ago. Don't get too excited, though <:-) They're just a "best of" collection of Hamleto's strips. I've made them hoping to "spread the word" about Hamleto (if you pass me the expression :-)) and let more

Popular beliefs

2010-12-01T01:02:00.000-06:00

Well, since what happened with Santa Claus last year, I guess we could at least give credit to Hamleto's theory about The King ;D

Eco-friendly hamster ball

2010-11-29T01:09:00.000-06:00

And they say eco-friendly cars are better xD (just joking, eh! ;D)

The science of words

2010-11-26T01:45:00.001-06:00

Now I know that it's true that owners resemble their pets, because Alice and Hamleto share a quite damaging sense of humor xD

A random encounter - part four

2010-11-24T00:56:00.001-06:00

And this is what truly happened between Laerte and the cat :-) (I wonder if this is what Sun Tzu meant when he wrote "know your enemy" xD)

A random encounter - part three

2010-11-22T01:04:00.000-06:00

Uhm, the plot thickens! ...But everything it's going to be explained in the next strip, so don't change channel :D (even so, if you want to try and guess what's happened, be my guest :-))

A random encounter - part two

2010-11-19T02:11:00.001-06:00

Is this going to be the end of Laerte? Or at least, the end of Laerte as we know him? Stay tuned for the next thrilling episode! :D (I know I'm very wicked when I do things like this! xD)

A random encounter - part one

2010-11-17T01:07:00.001-06:00

The title is a tribute to that "nice" feature well known to all RPG gamers (especially japanese ones) like me. I thought it suits the situation pretty well :-)

The favorite child

2010-11-15T00:54:00.000-06:00

Considering how much Alice eats, I can understand why her mom might have a preference for Hamleto xD (if I'm not miscalculating, this should be my 400th strip. Yay! :-))

Ofelia's resignation

2010-11-12T01:40:00.001-06:00

That way, when Ofelia will say that Hamleto's voice is like music in her ears, she won't be kidding xD
