"Slightly"?

"Oh, my ~ What big feet you have!"
"Errr... the better to eat you with?" *Mr. Bigglesworth exits*

I think it could've been more humorous if she just asked how does a girl like Mr. Bigglesworth get such strong toes, or if she turned her toes a little to the left after the toe comment. X3

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

Now I know who your favorite character is!

Everyone is saying how weird Squeak is, but...
her boyfriend is JOEY, who dresses in cat suits. Are you surprised?
Anyway, I think Joey and Squeak are perfect for each other and make a cute couple. =3

The cat suit is just a silly cute thing, whereas this is just bizarre and uncomfortable. :/

I agree with you that Joey's catsuit is pretty silly, but im sure some people would be weirded out by it as well. Of course, this particular situation with Squeak is bizarre and weird on a different level, isn't it? Heck, even the other characters seem to acknowledge that. I still like Joey and Squeak, and I hope nobody's being offended or turned off by this particular "weird" part of the comic.

Well... That's one way to stop the food chain... Albeit a creepy one...

This comic was originally going to be a single one-off, but there was too much setup for it. I could have expanded it to a two-part one-off (two-off?) but I also thought that Spo and Squeak never had a real introduction to one another, so I expanded it to a mini-arc.

So yes it ended up being a very elaborate setup to a silly character joke.

I am not sorry.

Posted: **Fri Jul 05, 2013 1:21 pm**

And you have no reason to be Rick, it's just not many people expected that kind of joke here, though it may of only made it funnier.

Posted: **Fri Jul 05, 2013 1:32 pm**

Haha oh wow. Hey, it worked! kind of a small arc but no complaints, it was pretty funny

And as far as teh foot thing, well thats how you get crap past the radar!

Posted: **Fri Jul 05, 2013 1:33 pm**

Rick regrets NOTHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!

Posted: **Fri Jul 05, 2013 1:41 pm**

Oh, so wrong and on several levels...

I know lot of folks got the foot-fetish thing with Squeak and Joey, but who else was reminded of Peanut's experience with the "Spicy Barn Cats" in
Paralysis Of The Mouth
and
Probably Taking This Too Far?

Haha i remember those! Oh poor peanut should had taken the chance.

Posted: **Fri Jul 05, 2013 2:24 pm**

I was kind of wandering if this comic arc was going to end on a strange note.

I for one thought this was really funny.

Posted: **Fri Jul 05, 2013 2:39 pm**

I thought this was great; played with the rating like a cat with a mouse, and still came out absolutely adorable and funny. Great job, Rick!

Posted: **Fri Jul 05, 2013 2:43 pm**

I approve of this strip.

Posted: **Fri Jul 05, 2013 3:03 pm**

This strip was a great laugh!

The only problem is that I was reading Spo's words in Krillins voice from TFS Abridged...

I can attest to this actually. For a while I took Joey to be a weird character that would only be around for comic-relief, but obviously there's been plenty of development of his character past that, that I'm actually rather fond of him now.

I'm thinking the whole paw/crush fetish thing will pass in a couple of days (or weeks) I'm sure.

I, for one, would enjoy seeing an epilogue, (possibly branching into another arc?) with Squeak having to explain to Joey that he is "her one and only" or some other phrase like that.
Also I find this hilarious. And the suit thing doesn't bother me. If it did I wouldn't ask to wear the wolf suit at work.

Posted: **Fri Jul 05, 2013 9:01 pm**

Amusing arc, I appreciate some oddities in the characters. I guess this shouldn't be surprising considering her boyfriend.

Only question I'm left with though is whether or not a typical mouse can survive a full on foot stomp given this link has a not so lucky foot stomped mouse killed before eaten. Is this a small bit of character development or is there something more going on?

He'll probably take the chance with Grape.

very likely because Squeak has had past experience with this sort of "event". And judging from the imprint on the grass, it looks like it took a lot of the force, where the last mouse that got stomped was either on thin carpet or hard floor (can't recall what their house has).

Can't believe I was actually able to explain that.

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 12:30 am**

...or maybe you may invoke funny physics. Just like Jasper can nuke BG, get flattened into an accordion note, and then everyone's fine by the next strip.

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 1:42 am**

except for Karl-Lenin Faust ! poor guy..er...mouse . Either that , or Squeak literally is a super mouse of some sort

Dude, kids under 13 won't think about it like that unless you make it sound like that. Most things go over kids heads when their young...

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 2:15 am**

... Are you saying we are all old here chaoko? Though that can be taken as either flattering or an insult...
And maybe Squeak is used to getting stomped? I doubt that Bigglesworth stamps nearly as hard as Grape too.

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 3:23 am**

Training makes all the difference. You just gotta work up to it.

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 3:40 am**

Bigglesworth stamps with Martial arts precision.

Grape stamps like a docker wearing bovver boots.

One has grace, the other has power.

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 6:01 am**

I'm probably putting to much into it but hey you never know.

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 6:06 am**

Well that explains that "But the paws!" comment Squeak made back at the party a while ago.

Okay Squeak, it's fine to accept your...uh..."preferences" but maybe don't do it so publicly?

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 8:06 am**

Oh, it's a female Bigglesworth?

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 10:46 am**

Hey, if Animaniacs and Tiny Toons can get away with his stuff, there's no reason Rick can't. Besides, it's adorable

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 10:56 am**

*Looks at panel two*

Squeak: Oh yes, Mr Bigglesworth! Keep crushing me! Your leg is on fire!

Mr Bigglesworth: And I'm not even starting. DIABLE JAMBE!

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 12:01 pm**

So, Monday, another one-off?

Posted: **Sat Jul 06, 2013 3:23 pm**

*stares with mouth dangling open and eye twitching* Welp, if anyone needs me, I'll be sitting in a dark corner mumbling nervously "cannot even" repeatedly(maybe even throw in a "Why Rick?" here and there)O_o
