"Harvey, blissfully unaware that Rocky has been stalking him for
weeks, suddenly gets that sinking feeling that soon he will be sleep-
ing with the fishes."

Wait a minute. Which one is Harvey and which one is Rocky?

I'll leave that to your interpretation.

Oops. I never actually watched Rocky and Bullwinkle, although the names are familiar. Okay, I get it now!

Me either. I don't quite get it though.

Well, Rocky is a squirrel in the cartoon and Bullwinkle is a moose. So in Walden's picture, Rocky the squirrel has been stalking Harvey the seagull (he is hiding from Harvey on the rock) and Harvey is starting to realize that something seems strange. Rocky is going to eat him. Play like the seagull is a robin. It's a variation on the same theme.

The website doesn't work.

(Or maybe he was just trying to screw it.)
I doubt that.

Well, it's just my opinion, but if the the squirrels ate the bird, the bird was screwed....

That's one of my favorite things ever!!

I saw a flying squirrel in real life for the first time today. It glode down out of a tree on the edge of some woods. Cherokee for flying squirrel is dewa.

That squirrel isn't hiding . . . he's just sunning himself. He's soaking up the heat from the rock.

And, frankly, from the look on his little face, he's a bit annoyed that his bain de soleil was interrupted.
