Funny squirrel. Squirrels are inherently funny. I refuse to entertain the concept that I'm wrong on that.

A squirrel with a green beret. Hmmmm…
I almost said something about the HARLEY QUINN animated show that’s voiced by Kaley Cuoco, but that was a smoking mouse in a green beret. Something about the Queen of Fables.
Well, looks like Phoebe wants her room back. Although, will Puck want a negotiation fee? It will Daphne do something because it’s part of the plan?
Green Berets are appropriate headgear for squirrels, the damn things are dangerous… and tasty when well prepared! But I’ll say no more so as to keep Squirrel Girl off my trail!
You monster! (What do they taste like?)
Squirrel tastes pretty much like rabbit. So, dark-meat poultry. (Rabbit used to be considered poultry.)
We cooked squirrel and rabbit by dredging in flour, browning, and finishing in the oven when I was growing up. It’s better than commercially raised chicken.
Concur, although squirrel and dumplings was a common meal for the bigger/older/tougher ones when I was a kid. Frying was reserved for the younger more tended tree-rats.
So bottom line: they are tasty!
And rabbit is still sold in the poultry section of the frozen meat section here at the stores that stock it, in case you don’t want to harvest your own.
Hey, I think everyone deserves a free gold bar as a participation trophy. It’s only fair.
Could have put the squirrel in a tricorne.

Yarr, where’s me gold and me rum. X marks the spot.
I would have inserted the image directly but I wasn’t sure about your rules on images in chat. They can get a bit bulky.
Piratey goodness.
No arguments here. Squirrels are funny.
Not that I’ve ever seen one in RL.
Closest we got is Possums. Like, actual Possums, Australian Marsupial, not opossums.
Brushtail possums may be the Australian equivalent of squirrels.
We have a brushie next door.
Keeps raiding the mango tree before the fruit is fully ripe, but then again so does everything else.
The flying foxes, all sorts of parrots, galahs, noisy miners, insects. We are lucky to get two or three mangoes each season.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
We have… many brushtails living in the roof…. And no shortage of parrots, noisy miners etc… While our fruit trees have mostly died out, we had to cover them with netting to keep everything off. And some still got through.
I do question your insistence that Australian Possums are the one true variety, as marsupials didn’t even originate in Oz. They started in South America. I would argue OUR possums are the one true possum. But now I am arguing about possums, and that is inherently dumb.
Given all the dangerous animals available in Oz I’m a bit surprised you don’t have some kind of saber-tooth tree rat like squirrel… or is that the niche drop bears fill?
looks like the fair lady of the park is still smiling upon them
And shall for a while.
Foamy’s Canadian cousin is on it.
This one is more wholesome.
Do not mess with the squirrel. Just a friendly word of advice.
Good advice. They’re fast and they have some big incisors.
They do. I had a pet squirrel in the ’80s. One day I startled it, and it bit my finger. Imagine a pair of vicegrips with chisels . . . .
My doctor laughed his ass off.
My dad was once bit by a squirrel, too. He’d shot it, and it wasn’t as dead as he thought.
I’m sure Daphne is greatly relieved that now she won’t be assigned gold guard duty. :p
One of Phoebe’s friends?
We can assume.
This is a grey squirrel and I’m in the UK, therefore it is inherently an evil invasive species. Even if in this case it is in it’s own country.
Around my area, we also have mysterious black squirrels. (They’re just a variant of grey squirrels.). They only exist in Southern Ontario. It’s weird.
There are black squirrels in Virginia, too. Or there were when I was a kid in the ’60s, anyhow. We went camping in some park there. Never seen another one since.
It’s a melanistic variant. It occurs naturally but it’s rare. For some reason, the mutation has become prominent around Toronto. My working (unproven) theory is that they have a slight survival edge in urban areas because they’re more visible to drivers and thus get run over less.
Black squirrels are pretty common in Québec.
Maybe it’s a broader thing in this area. I know they’re rare for most of the animal’s range, anyway.
Remember, for every squirrel you see, there’s another twelve just waiting for when somebody thinks ‘oh, it’s just a squirrel, no problem!’ Yeah, it never is, for the squirrels . . .
Exactly. One squirrel is just the eye for the Squirrel Army.
The beret would have been nice.
His super-hero name would then be “The Secret Squirrel”…
ps: we see black squirrels in Ottawa too. I think I remember reading something about the black skin/fur being better for absorbing heat/sunlight during the cold Springs and Autumns…
We’re getting grey squirrels around here now. I saw one at my son’s place the other day, first time I’ve seen one down here. Red squirrels are what we usually get but if these are anything like the grey ones in Ontario, they’ll mug the local ones and steal their nut stashes, then we’ll end up with pink ones 😉 This one should have a red beret if he’s a Guardian, Military MP’s wear red ones too so it makes sense.
Plaid beret. Works for squirrels.
Coward. But yeah, I’d have been hesitant too.
A red beret might have been even better, referencing Llywenna.
The Lady of the Park really wants this to work.
Can you imagine the insanity if Puck ever tried delivering pizza?
Daphne, what can happen? This is a mind-your-own-business zone.
Puck delivering pizza probably happened at some point in time. She’s been around and been poor for long enough that it might have happened.
It might even by why everyone understands it’s better if she doesn’t drive.
Do all of Phoebe’s animal alliances report on their findings. Or, does she just already know all?
‘Cause I lost this class ring back in ’89 and I’d love to get it back. Would she know where I dropped it?
They might find it. But retrieval costs extra.
Better than a rancor and easier to care for.
Just as ferocious in the right context too!
