Thanks to Bruce Macintosh for pointing me to this article about squirrel-Dalek hybrids. 🙂

The drawing above is what finally tipped me over the edge in terms of motivation to start this collection of Proof The Squirrels Are Trying To Take Over The World (it is NOT a new blog! Honest!). I’ve been getting SOOOOOO much great stuff from friends re: the Evilitude Of . . .
