[ Stamp Of Approval ]

Alt Text: In case you needed clarification--and I don't know why you would--I was shouting your name, not actually squeaking

It's kinda been obvious why Squeak likes bigger animals, if you pay attention.

Ok, I thought there might have been a reason beyond this obvious one but whatever.

That is disturbing in a lot of levels, no wonder she never gets eaten by any cats. Even during those roleplays.

Got to hand it to Squeak, that was pretty resourceful. She Killed two birds with one stone.

I knew it, i just knew that Squeak liked feet! No doubt, Joey must have some big feet. :lol:

So I was right about her quirk :lol:

Wow, this arc ended really fast! I thought it would last one more week but whatever.

That's not hard, when it's featured in virtually every appearance the character makes.

We've been told of Squeak's "interests" before, but at least we now know it has a positive aspect. Still, I still view her as a bit of a freak.

I think Squeak's character was influenced by some other character.... :roll:

Yeah, I don't think Spo will be asking Squeak out for some time now, heh.

I think the female Mr. Bigglesworth's reaction is rather normal. I am sure that is not the first time Squeak has evaded capture for sure.

Haha, Bigglesworth's expression in the third panel says it all.

At least Squeak found a way around the food chain, despite the 'impalling' nature.

So now we're sure about Squeak's foot fetish
and, perhaps, why she's in love with Joey.
He likes the fact that she's coquettish
and she like to be pressed 'till she's cosy!

We see why this cat had to be a girl
that reduced Squeak to a mouses' station
then heard words that made her whiskers curl
and wash the foot. 'Too much information!'

Spo is impressed but somewhat disgusted
at her wickedly cool choices of word.
His reality has been adjusted
and he's creeped by what he just heard...

Man, this was a really short arc (though not the shortest), but I rally loved the twist, the art, the expressions, the "Impalled" pun, and the alt-text. :lol:

Great job from Mr. Griffin!
Although......

*Two days after that.*

Quite an interesting quirk, a little unusual, but hey I can't hate her for it. Everyone has a quirk or two I'm sure.

Besides, it fixed the problem rather effectively, so... ;)

Okay so I really thought Joey would come to the rescue, but otherwise I am confused as to the last panel. So Squeak has some sort of foot/crush fetish, but why does that prevent cats from eating her, and why is Spo so shocked? Well I could guess the second one but I actually need this explained to me.

Ok, I don't think anybody was expecting that, I sure wasn't.

Not too sure why everyone is saying it was alluded to in several strips before and posting that old "too much information" comic though, isn't Joey holding Squeak in his hand there? I looked back and the only mention I saw was in the 12/21/12 strip.

Can't think of a funnier way to have gotten out of that though, figures Squeak of all people would come up with that. Didn't really find it disturbing like so many others did rather than just plain hilarious(Well, OK, Squeak's face in the last panel was a little crazy). Nothing throws off someone more than when they expect a victim and get someone willing, especially one so vocal about it.

Or rather in this case, finding out your "food" is actually being turned on by your treatment, quite a quick way to lose your appetite.

As a certain actor would say, "Oh my."

Pervy little mousey. Though I guess that's one way to escape...

Also explains how Joey can be her... er, partner. :?

It also looks like a fairly abrupt end to this story.

The internet has ruined me, I think. Squeak's stomp fetish doesn't even make the needle on my personal Squick-O-Meter twitch, let alone send said needle into "Eww! Hand me the brain bleach, please" territory.

Soooooo, Is this comic's rating getting switched to PG-13 now?
It's your call, of course, I personally don't mind children reading this...... things.

1) Gren's last post about the wensday's strip points out he was suspecting that this was the reason Squeak likes big dogs and she cannot lie.

2) Yeah, I the wolf Christmass party strip and the one with Joey's cat suit are the only ones were this is hinted at.

3) Most of us also find this ridiculous and funny, but we go with the flow and claim utter disgust. (Lying is bad, kids, don't follow my example!)

Yes, but in so doing, you have hinted at the first steps into a larger, darker, twisted-er (Twister?) world.

Basically it's just too icky for most predators to handle. It's one thing to hunt your prey; it's quite another to have prey that wants to be hunted. The idea of a mouse that wants to be squished is just wrong on so many levels that a would-be predator is just too squicked out to want to eat.

Personally, I don't see a problem with it, especially in a universe where some laws of cartoon physics seem to apply.
