he looks a little nuts to me…

“Hey, what happened to all the cashews??”

George is a little squirrely

Maybe he should try hiding them in a tree.

That’s a corny joke.

A couple of mutants, made for each other. He with his expandable cheeks & bushy tail, and her with her oversized right arm & hand.

SQUIRREL!!!

He buries his savings in lots of places, but can never find any of them.

Maybe she’s lookin for some tail!

:-O

I love Marvel’s Squirrel Girl, but this suggests a hilarious spoof issue!

That´s what he tells you, I think it´s a bit of a tall tail.

Are those coins or wads of bills in his cheeks?

Yay, Bleeb! A cocktail party, a target rich environment for you, little alien dude!!

part squirrel, but mostly human… huh. :\

It’s a well-known fact that having a tail makes one a better provider.

Love the woman behind George, looking at his tail. Ha!

I’ve never heard of Squirrel Man…

Well, that explains why there are no trays of food anywhere in the picture.

I’ve found that the surprising trouble with nest eggs is that you have to crack into them, eventually. I mean really, how do you decide when the day is rainy enough to start spending your savings.

Weresquirrel? Of all the forms of lycanthropy (or therianthropy to be more accurate) this is one of the nuttier ones. I bet he’s a blast in a ‘Buddy Squirrel’ shop.

A mouth full of nickles i see too.

Where have I seen that piece of artwork before? Is it Ansel Adams’ moon photo?

I wonder if they have a dog.

Does George have a habit of all of a sudden dashing across the street as a car approaches?

George is in the Vanguard.

Everyone in the family loves George, except the family dog.

Since squirrels are not normally associated with eggs, I first mistook his tail as a wing. I suppose it all makes sense if you drink as much as this crowd.

Looks like he has those type of genes in his family…..

Is he the one who chewed the wires in my backyard lights? I’ve been looking for him!

New creature from mythology, the SquirrelMan.

Looks like it’s going to be a long winter…

Just don’t ask him for change for a dollar.
