the night…

in the night with bob the squirrel

I like night.  Sort of.

As far as good versus bad things happen, day and night are 50/50.  It only seems like just bad things happen in the night.  I don’t have any more deep an explanation than that.  It’s a Sunday morning and my little squirrel brain is three textures away from being scrambled eggs with peppers.

I thought of this last night while sitting in the window of Frank’s new-ish studio.  The house itself is taking a breather from a series of projects… landscaping, tiles, paint… all of which will be noted in the comic strip.  But I was just sitting there, looking out into nothing… not really nothing… I know that the lawn is out there.  But there were so many sounds, little flashes of light and actual smells.  Maybe it was just the tired squirrel in me, but I just was really glad that I could seal up my cocoon and shut that stuff out.

Crickets can be real pains in the tail.  And those birds, what’s their deal?  Sleep much?!
