Obsessions - Newfoundland - bonus post

Squirrel is on the road in St. John's, Newfoundland and inspiration struck on the back of hotel note paper

Obsessions - Hitchcock - for Dave Stewart

Today's post is dedicated to my good - no, great - friend, Dave Stewart. Dave gave me my first opportunity to do a comic with the character of Squirrel, inviting me to collaborate with him on his comic, And Yet I Blame Hollywood, which is printed in the monthly local publication The Buzz:


He then encouraged me to do a webcomic with him, which he set up and managed. It had a short run, but a good one. When I started Diary of a Squirrel, he made the webpage beautiful, helped promote it in early days, and then made me beautiful business cards:


Dave also has an awesome blog about films called Bloody Terror and I encourage you all to check it out. There's a definite emphasis on the horror genre, but also today's post subject, Alfred Hitchcock. 

So Dave, I don't know how else to thank you properly except through a comic, which is, again, thanks to you! Today, you are the Squirrel! Be the Squirrel! ❤️🐿

Social media

Today is post #200, a great milestone for these silly squirrels! It's adorable the way I think anyone cares, but apparently some of you do, and I am very grateful. Thanks to everyone who has encouraged me through these first 200 comics, and here's to the next 200! 🎉🐿
