Jeffrey Rowland's OVERCOMPENSATING

Squirrel Bird



The situation is dire around TopatoCo headquarters. Today the coffee-machine broke so I had to use the electric kettle to boil water and then pour it through a sort of "ghetto coffee-machine" which resulted in a product all the more delicious due to the tender care and scalding pain injuries involved in its creation.

My birthday is next week, perhaps we can somehow exploit that to procure a new coffee-machine.

Update: The coffee-machine has begun to work again.

The squirrel is cute, but the implications of its actions are dire and frightening. - yggdrasil

This morning when I walked thru the park I saw a squirrel pouring ghetto coffee on his nuts.

Don't knock it, using those drip coffee machines makes generally the worst tasting coffee anyway. Be creative!

I'm guessing that you got the crown as one of the royal presents in KD, and that's why Baby is wearing it.

Do I win a prize?

You can't kill a squirrel; they're like little forest ninja. They blend in with bark and leap and have claws and hang under tree branches at odd angles and throw shuriken.

Seriously, my birthday's on Thursday, Jeffrey, if we have the same birthday that would be amazing cool. Otherwise, maybe I could join in the fantastic birthday bash?

The squirrel reminds me a little of Todd =)

May 22? That's the same birthday as my arch-enemy. Are you my Arch Enemy, J-Ro?

At first I thought that the squirrel was stopping the rock's flight with the power of the force, but then I realised he was just making himself hard to hit with pure attitude. It would have been easier to decipher if the two rocks weren't in the approximate same place in both panels.

Matt, my birthday's on Thursday too, I say we have a joint party.

They're two different fricking colors, dude.

My mother was right. All the best people are born in may.
Save those in january.

(Best friend's birthday tomorrow. Then my mother's - and my father's mother's is on Sunday. Weird)

I don't know what you're smoking, Ashley, but all the best people are clearly born in November and October. Jeff's an exception.

For all I know this comic could be in black and white, though I do note that the second one is a tad darker.

Oh, Jeffery, having to attack the squirrels with bad attitudes is no way to live. You deserve to be treated like a princess. A princess, I say!

Jeff,

That squirrel flipping them off is awesome! I need a bigger picture of it because my father is in a death struggle against the squirrels in his yard.

I hate to point this out, but, y'know, a squirrel giving us all the bird would be great on a t-shirt...

Ashley, John: All the WORST people are born in February.

I should know, I'm one of them :).

Jeffrey: yes! squirrel-giving-world-finger-t-shirts! p.s. sorry to hear about the cash strappage, am buying my sis a T-shirt once the new items come out.

Clearly he simply missed twice with 2 differnent rocks.



I left the "differnent" in there on purpose. I like the way it sounds.

The difference between the rocks is pretty clear, but I can see how some people might have to spend a couple of seconds deciphering it. More seconds of thought than are desirable.

If I was Jeffrey, I'd be all like, 'Yo,' and 'Hey' and stuff. Can I have hair?
