The Nest turns ten in a few weeks, but since I don’t expect anyone to buy any presents for me, I’ll be giving the gifts to you! And wrapped inside your next tampon box full of fun are my favorite squirrel photos I took in 2017… our sixth full year on WordPress and far and away one of the most interesting…
2017 was the year I retired my comic strip after 281 weekly editions. It was the first full year of its replacement, Shelf Critter Theatre, which ended the year with its only recurring story line over just what was in Mitzi’s eggs. It was the year I presented some of the random treasures in my photo archive A to Z style. It was the year I launched a countdown of some of my least favorite iconic songs. And it may have been The Nest’s best year ever at producing random silliness, whether it be bad Japanese late night shows, Soviet pop concerts, setting possums on fire, stupidly bad popular toys, or having my fascist blog threatened by Antifa…
Lost in all the madness that was 2017 were all of the great squirrel pics it produced! Let’s look back at the sciurine year that was…
Alright, that wasn’t a great way to start off the year!
Yo dudes! Wanna smoke?
A little…. well, HELP please?
Come on in and stay for a spell!
The fierce Rawrasquirrel!
Ambush!
Nope, I haven’t been digging in your yard, sir! Pay no mind to that dirt on my paws and nose!
Walnuts are good shit!
If you can chew through that giant green husk, that is…
Squirrel at attention!
This squirrel found itself some fake cheese!!!
SLURP!
Mmmmm! Good to the last drop!
This squirrel has chosen to eat healthier…
While this squirrel is eating……. a finger!?!?!?!?
Yeah, you can see right through most of my BS commentary…. like this squirrel’s transparent tail.
What’s a squirrel photo montage without a little “action?”
Hey buddy, wanna play?
The real evil squirrel controlling things from upon high…
Keep plastic bags out of reach of squirrels…
This squirrel was part of a great Saturday Squirrel skit I put together with Sewie…
Squirrel, view from below…
He looks like he got his nose stuck in that nut!
Not us! The humans left their trash on the ground!
Golden tailed squirrels are cuter!
And finally, the runaway squirrel of the year for 2017….
BATSQUIRREL!!!!
What, doesn’t everyone eat their nuts upside down?
Join me next Tuesday for the best squirrel photos of 2018!
Evil Squirrel's Nest 
I love the first one… it describes every month of this year LOL
Asstember or Assuary?
An exceptionally good squirrel year……hard to pick a favorite – bat squirrel is a winner but then vegan squirrel and good old fake cheese squirrel are goodies too. Heck – they’re all great – as I said 2017 was a veritable “squirrel-o-rama” of great photos.

It’s the only year I ever saw a squirrel eat fake cheese! Now I just need to see a squirrel eat grilled cheese…
A batsquirrel is great, also the first one and everyone between them. I love them all.
With squirrel photos, even the losers are winners…
Looks like 2017 was the year your squirrels became notorious litter bugs after eating some of the most disgusting items packaged in plastic. Fake cheese indeed…more like cheese wax. Blech.
If the squirrels like it, then it can’t be that bad!
Um, is that first photo squirrel porn? The one with the cheese apparently needed some faux calcium badly. Bat squirrel huh…well that’ll just rock me to sleep (NOT). Nightmares…
The artificial crap that makes snacks so tasty is apparently just as irresistible to the animal kingdom…
I can smell that squirrel fart all the way here and a few years later.
Yay, 2017 was Batsquirrel year!
Something which, for some reason, is only recognized on this blog….
