Inside preview of the 2019 Bob calendar…
I hope everyone likes sunflowers… because the 2019 Bob the Squirrel Calendar is going to be FILLED with them.
Details will be available soon on price and delivery… along with something extra.
Finally caught Jackie the psycho stalking chipmunk
Avid readers of the strip know that Bob has many admirers. Jackie the psycho stalking chipmunk is in a class all her own. You may also know that I use my life as material for the comic strip. Jackie comes in and out of our life pretty regular… but she really never truly goes away. I’m 99% sure she lives in our garage.
Yesterday I finally caught her massacring my sunflowers. She didn’t move a whisker. It’s almost as if she was irritated I interrupted her nosh.
I’m not mad. I’m glad my crop is feeding her. I already have enough seed for next year.
Nosh on Jackie… nosh on.
a new character?
For those of you new to the squirrel scene, you need to know this: we grow sunflowers. They’re kind of our thing… and not just because squirrels love them. We love them. It was the primary flower in our wedding. Last year I planted a ton… thinking that nature would cull most of them. We got a ton. It was great.
This year, I selectively planted here and there. So far we’ve done okay. This year’s crop is grown from last year’s crop.
Last night, I noticed we have new livestock on our tiny farm. Ladybugs. Lots of ladybugs. They especially love the yet-to-flower sunflowers. So, don’t be surprised if a new diminutive, yet sassy character makes an appearance in a future strip.
