Snig of the Day
Awe Puppy
Awe Puppy is fascinated by you.
You are precious and Awe Puppy knows it. Your face is a special thing. The contours and subtle emotions you display are mesmerizing in their uniqueness.
This will always be the case, even as your face changes.
Awe Puppy understands.
Spoily ChalmsSpoily Chalms is a crinkly faced little wormer. His coarse woolen outfit bears an icon that displays his mood, which is almost singularly foul. Spoily has pink metal appendages that clank with a shrill, piercing ring as he walks about. He is tolerated but avoided.
Birthday Bonus Snig of the Day Today is Natalie's birthday so I asked her to pick out a bonus Snig of the Day. This snig was drawn on Jan. 19th — maybe she'll name it and write something about it later. You can click it to swap out the Snig. Email her and wish her a happy birthday if you like. Wi Quon Wi
Wi Quon Wi is responsible for all definable matter at the molecular level.
Born as nothing, she took an early interest in science partly to fill an elective but also because she was determined to take some sort of identifiable form.
After perfecting the molecule, Wi Quon Wi became an owl — a symbol of wisdom and foresight.
In addition to her scientific interests, Wi Quon is also a Haiku poet. Not a very good one though.

SocrateaseLong before that other phonetically similar philosopher's sandals graced the ancient terra firma, Socratease was travelling about spreading his own brand of wizened council. Known for his "Sarcastic Method", Socratease would often bicker with town folk over trivial things like the price of a good beard trim, whether or not it is moral to shower nude, or discussions on the existance of a soup-reme being (Split pea of the heavens, as it were). Eventually the populace grew tired of the nonsense and thus sentenced the wandering nuisance to drink from a cup of hemlock. Faced with the moral dilemma of remaining honest to societal justice or avoiding poisoning himself, Socratease, true to his nature, fled the village like a cowering weasel. Where is he now?
After 6 months of cowering, he regrouped and found a job crafting cotton foot coverings. Now known as Sockrates, he sells his hand-knit booties for $7.50 a pair at the Chauceville market.The Black Ram of Symmetry
This fluffy little creature lives a secluded life high in the craggy hills just north of the Screamy Bee Ranch.
The Black Ram of Symmetry is a bit of a neat freak. Actually, classifying him as obsessive/compulsive wouldn't be unwarranted. Indeed, the Black Ram's need for order is so extreme he must continually monitor the sun overhead so that his shadow remains in perfect symmetry during daylight hours.
He rarely speaks as anything said must be repeated backwards to maintain perfect equilibrium.
Runner Red Yodeler
Like a bolt of lightning topped with a dollop of salsa, Runner Red Yodeler streaks across the Chaucevillian cityscape.
A crime fighter and hero to many of Chauceville's teenage neevlings, Runner Red Yodeler is the one to call on when sinister doings are afoot. His crimson yodeler is both a crime radar and the envy of roosters everywhere.
A Note on Yodelers
A while back I asked Natalie what you call that red thing atop a rooster's head. She responded, "I'm not sure but I think it's called a yodeler."
Naturally, this sounded ridiculous to me but the more I thought about it the more it seemed to make sense. Those things do seem to yodel around up there and they're way to funny looking to call a crest.
"Yodeler" suits them perfectly — spread the word!
Sleepy Meem
The Sleepy Meem hasn't woken in nearly 1,000 years.
Actually, the "Deceased Meem" may be a more apropos name — it's just that no one can spare the 7 months it takes to check its pulse.
