33 - Grasshopper Surprise
The little green ones are sweeter. Or so I’ve heard. Found our first dead flying squirrel the other day. With the number of them around our house I’m sort of surprised it took as long as it did. I have yet to see any ’sugar gliders’ since the big storm on Sunday but we keep putting the peanuts out, and hoping. I have a three-chamber flying squirrel apartment house on a tree near our porch. I’ve seen them come out of the box, but I don’t think any are living there right now. Somehow I think it’s too low. Got to get a bigger ladder…

Dead flying squirrel? Where do you live? Are you in plague territory? You *do* know to not handle dead squirrels without gloves on, right? (So now I’m thinking of little squirrel-sized gloves, with fancy decorations around the cuff.)
I’m enjoying this comic, keep up the good work.

I think insects work the same way as livestock. The younger it is, the tastier. I hear theyre good with honey.
We had a dead one once in one of the halls we visit for mini holidays. It was laying on the a couch for 2 hours before we noticed it was there… Dead… still…. lifeless…. Flat like cardboard… Poor thingy.

Marcia: No plague that I am aware of. I did not touch the squirrel except with my shovel. He is buried in our side-yard mulch bed which we just planted with bushes and flowers. We had seen a cat in the yard for a night or two before I found him. Coincidence? I THINK NOT, although i would be surprised to discover that the cat had actually killed the squirrel itself. They are fast and do not come any closer to the ground that the height of our peanut feeders (about 5 feet). Although I realize cats can jump and all, it would still surprise me to learn that one was slow enough to be caught.

I like how in the second panel the “boid-ed” branch moves.

Boid does look a little greenish. I wouldn’t unless someone fed that stuff to me.
