Ooooh! We’re online now!
Evil Squirrel’s Nest is a blog dedicated to my cute little critter creations, Evil Squirrel and his buddies. ES was created by me, Bill Brown… overnight stocker by night, drawer of wacked out cuteness by day.
This blog started out was back on Christmas Eve 2011 as a way for me to promote the products featuring my artwork that I sell in my Cafepress store, but it’s become far, far more than that. I draw a weekly comic, post squirrel pictures, wax nostalgic about the good old days, and all kinds of other quirky, fun stuff in features you can find by exploring the many links in my header.
The fun never ends at The Nest!
I am an overly cynical, staunch realist who cares nothing for idealism… and I loathe politics from both side of the aisle. I an assure you that you will never be assaulted by any serious opinions during your stay at The Nest. You will find a lot of irreverent content here, heavily tinged with my bizarre sense of humor, biting sarcasm, and quirky mouse-drawn digital artwork. If I have given you a laugh or ten to help you get through your day, I have more than done my job and justified the time I’ve put into these posts.
Look what I caught!
If you are visiting The Nest because I liked and/or commented on one of your posts, welcome to my little world! I do random daily searches for “squirrel” on WordPress, and read the most recent posts containing that word. Even if it has nothing to do with squirrels, I will still hit Like if I enjoy it! It’s interesting to see the variety of blogs and bloggers there are out there on the internets!
I hope you enjoy my blog, and if you like what you see, please follow me and I promise to continue providing content of questionable quality for your perusal in the future!
Note: Though I no longer accept blogging awards, I feel like I must still acknowledge those I did take in back in my earlier days. The badges appear below…
Evil Squirrel's Nest 
Well, I know I had the word ‘squirrel’ in my post at least once. There have been a few more as my war with them and their rapacious ways is ongoing!
Thanks for visiting, and for teaching me a new word! I must use rapacious more often in my blog, it is perfect for our fine, fuzzy friends! Good luck in your battles, even if I might be rooting for the enemy 😉
Nothing wrong with squirrels – just ask Squirrell Nutkin, Why do people battle with furry bodies squirrelling away their winter supplies . A squirrel’s got to eat for Pete’s sake !
Indeed they do! Thank you for stopping by.
Love it! And thanks for visiting me!
You’re welcome, and thanks for stopping by my place!
Hilarious! Thanks for following me!
Very nice work 🙂
Thank you, and thanks for stopping by The Nest!
Had to think a bit before remembering my latest post said “we scattered like squirrels” in reference to how we used to be a flurry of activity “uptah camp” between May and September. Now we are here year-round, living with the squirrels!! Red ones, who yell at us like trespassers in our own yard. (I do write about those, real squirrels, too…hope you enjoy those posts as well. Thanks for reading!
Looking forward to them! Thanks for stopping by!
Little did I realize what I would conjure when I wrote about my thoughts on squirrels as I was deeply contemplating the meaning of life. Thanks for the levity and thanks for liking my post. I have great respect for comic strip artists (one of my husband’s mediums also) and will enjoy exploring the nest.
All the best!
Thank you!!! Squirrels are great teachers when it comes to the philosophy of life….
I KNEW it!
Interesting to find out ways that random people come across my blog. Who would have thought that a throw-away line about “mentally deficient squirrels” would do the trick? Glad it did though! Your squirrel related posts could fill the “furry animal comic” void left behind when the Achewood guy stopped posting stuff (with anything resembling regularity).
Thanks for stopping by! I am very much intrigued by the search terms people use that get them to my blog as well, and I am planning a year end countdown on some of my favorites. It’s only a myth that everyone finds their way here do to searching for Spongebob and Sandy porn (which to their disappointment, they will not find)….
Well, a casual mention of a squirrel has led me here! I like (a) your blog, and (b) your philosophy re: squirrel mentions. I’ll be back!
Thank you!
Evil Squirrel! I actually thought you were a guy I know (who raises squirrels). I’m pleasantly surprised to find you here bringing them to life! Thanks for coming into my consciousness 🙂
There are squirrel herders out there? Who knew? That might be something to look into for retirement… thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for searching on “squirrel” and liking my Samhain post! It got me to come here and read your blog! 🙂
No problem! Glad you stopped by The Nest!
Ha ha ha, so funny! One of next weeks Spineless Wonders features a squirrel! 🙂
My short suppose to be Wordless Wednesday post had 4 of the s word that you google and so you clicking like on yesterday’s post led me straight to you. I like it here.. 🙂 I think I will look around!
I have a knack for finding cute squirrel pictures! Thanks for dropping by, and make yourself at home in the Nest!
St. Lou! My original home sweet home. Guess I still consider it home. No lack of squirrels in the BIG CITY. I enjoyed my visit here. I will be reading.
What a great blog! Who would have thought that a post about squirrels would have led me here. You’re quite talented, and I’ve enjoyed reading through your work. Thanks!
The pleasure is all mine! Thanks for stopping by The Nest!
Hi evilsquirrel13. Thank you for visiting mylifeasasquirrel and liking it. I have heard of evil squirrel before and though I had many squirrels in my life, none was evil… lol! To say I love squirrels in an understatement… I will be checking on your characters and stories too. Thank you again!
No problem, always glad to have another squirrel lover aboard! Hope you find your visits to The Nest to be enjoyable!
Glad you enjoyed my post. You would have liked my son’s lullaby for squirrels…
No prob, and thanks for stopping by my place! That is cute, a lullaby for squirrels!
Thanks for liking at my blog, ES. I can’t believe I haven’t found yours earlier. Great work 🙂 Squirrels rock!
Yes they do! I’m happy to see there are many other sciurine blogs out there! Thanks for stopping by mine!
I like your work, fun that you found my evil squirrel
Thank you, and I covet that ornament!
I am in awe of squirrels’ intelligence. they never give up when trying to solve a problem; and the problem is always how to get more food!
You may have missed a post I wrote a long time ago called “My Squirrel is Smarter than Yours.”
It’s on my blog.
If Saturday never comes……. good job!
You guessed it. I found you through the like you put on my blog. I’ve only been blogging since August 2012 so using that method of checking out other folk’s blogs I’ve slowly grown my list of favorites. I’m a photography fanatic and have been for more than 40 years. Now retired I’ve found blogging on WordPress, Tumblr & 500pix a better way to share my photos. I don’t sell them. I look forward to following your blog as it has a unique feel and great humor. As an art major in college I appreciate your artwork. Great idea! – Bob
Thank you very much! Glad to have you here at The Nest!
Hi! I nominated you for The Versatile Blogger Award! Thanks so much for your wonderful and fun blog. I enjoy it very much. Your artwork, comics, and posts never fail to put a smile on my face. Go squirrels!! 🙂
You can check here for the details: http://blogofloveliness.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/the-versatile-blogger-award/
Thank you! I am honored! 🙂
Well considering we’ve been discussing the weather, and I’ve just discovered you majored in meteorology, how could I not give you the Sunshine Award? I mean, really! The details and rules are on my blog tomorrow.
Aw shucks! Thanks!
You burst my bubble. I thought that good fortune had brought you to my blog not a squirrel or rather the phonetic squirrel. Anyway, as we say resignedly in my country “everything for the good.”
Love your blog.
LOL! Thank you for stopping by! Squirrels always bring good fortune!
Who knew that finding a squirrel under my stove last night would lead me here? Love it!!!
Thank you for visiting, and finding a squirrel is always a sign of good things to come!
That sounds fun to search a particular word. I admire your dedication. Lol. I know exactly where squirrel featured on the post of mine you liked even though I did have to think for a few moments to remember.
It’s interesting what turns up… I’ve found all sorts of blogs just by searching for “squirrel”! Most of my small but loyal group of true followers came to this blog the same way, and it’s a pretty diverse group! I liked your header with all the hamsters! Thanks for visiting The Nest!
Hi there – I came to your blog by way of Press “M” for Menopause and I’m really glad I did! You’ve got some great stuff here. I’m looking forward to working my way around the nest 🙂
YAY! Glad to have you aboard!
Found your site through “Press M for Menopause.” Cute patootie cartoons.
Thank you! Welcome to The Nest!
I’m so glad you stopped by my blog so I could discover yours! Yay squirrels!
Squirrels rule!!!

Hey there – thanks for visiting my blog 🙂 I’ve just finished a 6 week vacation in the US. During that time I visited four National Parks and had hoped to see a whole bunch of wild life (eg bears, big cats, etc) – none of which I saw in the flesh on this occasion. BUT, I did see a heck of a lot of squirrels (which I LOVED) – including an albino squirrel in Washington DC. Anyways – thanks for liking my blog. I’ll be back from time to time to see what’s happening in your part of the blogosphere 🙂
Cool! I have yet to see an albino squirrel, but hope to someday. We definitely have a large and visible sciurine population here in the States! Thanks for stopping by The Nest!
Your fascination with all things squirrel not only makes me smile but offers a little look into you. Thanks for liking my blog. But even more for your creative honesty.
Thank you for returning the visit and for your kind words! I have long championed the notion that squirrels can teach us valuable life lessons, which made me like your post even more!
“sciurine”… I love it when I get to learn a new word… Great blog, too. (PS: I mention flying squirrels in my post: A Liebster Award, for Me? if you want to take a look.) — Jadi
I had to scroll way back to find it…. but YAY! Any kind of a squirrel as a pet would be awesome! Thanks for finding my blog and commenting!
Thanks for the follow! I’m flattered. I hope the fact that we have a taxidermied squirrel under our TV doesn’t change things between us . . . (We have some live animals, too, but the squirrel ain’t one of ’em–anymore.)
A taxidermy squirrel might be pretty cool to have around… assuming it had previously lived a full squirrely life, of course! 😉
Thank you kindly for dropping by wePoets, it’s much appreciated. We’d be happy to showcase any of your art forms should you want to share. If so, our submission and theme pages explain everything. 🙂
Looking forward to your drawings and musings! 😀

Another nomination from me, ESN. This time, it’s the Dragon’s Loyalty Award, because of your devotion to grey and furry. Congratulations.

Nice to meet you, Evil Squirrel.
For exciting news on Ninja Squirrels (the jury is still out on whether they are evil or not), check out azznyro at awindowintothewoods.com if you haven’t met her yet.
Ninja squirrels must be a thing, because two other bloggers who used to be active were obsessed with them too! I shall make a mental note to check her out (The same way I made a mental note to check your blog out after TD featured you a couple months ago, and prompty forgot…. d’oh!)
It’s Merby here…I have a new blog.
There you are! You had me worried sick. Is this a permanent change?
I’m sorry I worried you, ES. Yeah, for the time being, it is. I am afraid to keep KOBAF public right now.

Thank so much for dropping by my blog. I appreciate it. 🙂

Holy frickin crap!!! I’ve never heard of most of those games… but the ones I do brought back a lot of memories! Quite a few even made me squeal because I hadn’t thought of them in over 30 years!
Out Run was my all time favorite arcade game… and there it is! Thanks for showing this to me!
You are very welcome…my husband found it and I instantly passed it on to you!

Hi, I’ve spent almost an hour browsing on your site, I think I shall follow you. I’ve seen you comment on other’s blogs for some time and have been meaning to get over here, and I’m glad I did 🙂
Aw, thanks for checking out my humble nest! Welcome to my world of squirrelly nuttiness!
You’re most welcome, thanks for following me too 🙂
I wonder if ES might be offended if it knew I once hunted, killed and ate its species.
Hey ESN, I have nominated you for the Pierdo Dardos Award for artistic creativity. I really want a squirrel to have this prestigious badge.

I am leaving you a comment here because that is what I do when I take a close look at a blog for the first time. Just spent 20 minutes enjoying your blog on account of you answered a comment I left for you on my friend Nerd’s blog in just the right way 🙂
Your copyright notice reads like a creative commons no-derivatives share-and-share alike license. That is how I license the things I post on my personal blog.
Also, I have been following for quite some time that does similar things and you might like it. Lots of characters, and funny, sometimes bizarro stuff that makes people laugh. Not like you at all, content-wise, but a similar approach to humor, I think. And voice parodies. They have a youtube channel just for voice parodies. Not someone I am affiliated with or talk to very much, just a blog I enjoy. Happy to drop you a link if you would like to check it out.
So, this is your first encounter with Planet Gene’O. I frequent at least two of the blogs that you seem to frequent, and truly. Glad you enjoyed that comment I left you on Nerd’s thread. If you have other social media that you just don’t link to the blog for whatever reason, I will be happy to follow it 😉 If not, I am happy to meet you on WordPress!
“Also, there is a blog I have been following for quite some time” is how that first sentence of the third paragraph should have read. I do not generally correct typos, but that omission makes the comment confusing.

Oh my goodness, thank you for making me smile this morning. It’s been fun reading through your posts and trying to figure it all out…certainly better than being in my own mind! Now I’m thinking about squirrels and it’s all good. We actually live in a rural community and there’s a woman who dresses up in caumo and hunts on our property for squirrels and says it a delicacy and quite honestly I just think ewwwwww
Aw, I’m glad you enjoyed checking out my stuff! I hear squirrels are an acquired taste… though it seems to be more of a country/redneck thing. Some people see cute, and some people see dinner…. sigh!

Hey Bill, I didn’t see that you’ve ever been tagged in the Love-Hate Challenge. And you need to be. So I did. Have fun, ESN. — Bialczak

Had to share this with you: Drunk Squirrel destroys bar in England. http://www.eater.com/2015/7/17/8995495/drunk-squirrel-wreaks-havoc-bar-england 🙂 You might need to do an investigatory series on the darker side of sciurine partying.
It’s funny, because I saw that story as a related headline on the “stalker squirrel” article last week, and now you’re the second blogger to bring it to my attention! I will definitely do a write up on it at some point… just as soon as I make sure that guy is signed up for Squirrels Anonymous.

Hi. Found your blog in comments of another blogger that I follow. I’m always up for a good bit of fun and sarcasm. I’ll be hoping to find that in squirrel posts 🙂
LOL, thanks! I don’t even know the last time I updated my About page, so I hope it’s still relevant!
Oh well, I still need to add some humor, squirrel related or not 🙂
Dude, you have one of the most creative blogs on WordPress.
Aw, thanks!
Salut! I came over from Kerry’s blog – she knows I can’t resist a squirrel or any other sort of creature or critter as you on the other side of the Atlantic would say. I’m happy I came and this will not be my last visit … you strike chords I’d forgotten I had 🙂
i have yet to find a person who has seen/noticed squirrel scat in their neighborhood or anywhere else. Just one of the things I ask at cocktail parties.
Finally, after years of this, I googled the question and checked out the images that came up. Don’t know what I expected to see.
Cheers.

(It’s Merby. Special invite only.)
How come a lot of your squirrels look like skunks?
Nice to “meet” you, Bill. I see everyone has gone squirrely around here. I might as well join the club.
