I am completely enamored of one of the oddest and most fun superheroes of the Marvel continuity: the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Squirrel Girl! With her rodent-like agility, knuckle spikes, fluffy prehensile tail, ability to speak squirrelese, lips that taste like hazelnuts, loyal sidekick Tippy-Toes and her ever-present nut sacks, she's got all the pep, spunk and adorableness she needs to whoop even the mightiest of supervillains! Need I even mention the Squirrel-a-gig?
I like her not just for being cute, but because she's sweet, helpful, optimistic and modest. A refreshing change from most superheroes nowadays who are either barely-clothed Barbie dolls or brooding emo psychopaths. As she eloquently states in GLA Misassembled #2: "I'm not crazy about super hero stories where everything's all dark and moody. Personally, I like the ones where good guys fight giant apes on the moon and stuff. Remember those? I do. That was back when comic book worlds were places you wanted to escape to. ...Not from." (Much as I love The Dark Knight Returns and Kingdom Come, you gotta admit they kinda fudged up the entire comics industry forever...)
As far as the drawing goes, not bad for my very first human, eh? I tell ya, there were many, many, many erasures involved. Especially around her face. On the other hand, Tippy-Toes came out just how I wanted within minutes. Ya never can tell.
