The current story arc started with this strip: A Trip to the Forest.
I think most of us have experienced similar situations in our lives to the one our new squirrely friend faces in this strip.
- Sid: Phew! That was close!
- Sid: Ha!
- Bear: Ow!
- Sid: I did it!
- Sid: Aw, crap…
- Woo: ?…!

That’s a squirrel??? I’m puzzled as to what it/he/she is…aside from English speaking wild life #2.
Yeah, I first thought it was a small fox, given the ears. But I have seen other cartoon squirrels with ears that long. Boofer in “Mynarski Forest” counts at least sometimes.
You know, I had just taken another look at the slogan on banner ads for this comic and wondered when the “(not) eating squirrels” part would become important. Now I know.
The Eurasian red squirrel has much longer ears than the Grey squirrel. I`m sure, it`s an Eurasian squirrel ;).
Yes – I’m reminded of Spip, the squirrel companion to Spirou, one of Belgium’s famous creations in the comics field. They do look a little different than north american squirrels.
It’s a Eurasian Red Squirrel. There is actually a story behind it why there is a Eurasian Red Squirrel in the north of the U.S., but I will tell that one another time.
Indeed. Such is a squirrel’s lot in life.
There is a clue in this comic strip. There is a wolf, a Bald Eagle (presumably), and a bear. What part of the northern United States (besides Alaska) has a sustained population of these animals?
yes..Yes…YES!…Noooo….

Bloody grey squirrels.
You know, I’ve had random strangers get angry at me before for picking fights with grey squirrels. I’m guessing they don’t understand the concept of invasive species.

Glancing at the range maps on wiki, the wolf would seem to be the least widespread, with a presence in the north-west and around the great lakes, plus a small range in Arizona(?). Brown Bears have a small range in Montana, while Black Bears are more widespread. Bald Eagles are found literally everywhere in the US depending on season.
This is why I am thankful for being ferocious.
