Ready the mince pies and pack up your toilet paper rolls! Today's SCI reviews are for "Shave a Little Off the Wheel" and "He's Just Not Here Right Now." Let's get on into it!
One of Summer Camp Island's greatest gifts is its ability to imbue even the most fleeting characters with such a deep sense of inner life, and I can't think of an episode to demonstrate that better than "Shave a Little Off the Wheel." It's a strange entry into the show's catalog; set against the backdrop of a wintry holiday called the "Holly Harvest," our focus immediately shifts from Oscar and Hedgehog to Cookiesmell, the mouse living in the wall of Oscar's cabin, making a small-scale adventure to shave a little cheese off of the cheese wheel in the cafeteria kitchen.
