Squidie [guest] by Nixon Agnew of Pictures of Crying Children

My trip to Maine is almost at its end, which means next week will be the start of brand new inklings by me.. but, that doesn’t mean that I am not SUPER grateful for these two posts in my time of need! Today’s awesome post is courtesy my friend Nixon Agnew of Pictures of Crying Children who I randomly found one day because of the fact that her main character bares a striking resemblance to my character, Eydis from Anhedonia Blue. Anyway, The girl in this guest post is a representation of her and actually has a pretty interesting back story. This is what she told me:

“When I first went to college, I met this kid, Will. He actually wound up being the writer for the first webcomic I did- but that’s a story for another time. At that point in my life, I didn’t wear pants- I just wore full floor-length skirts that I’d made myself. Every day. Eventually, he convinced himself there was something I was hiding under my skirt. There had to be a reason I wasn’t wearing jeans or shorter skirts even in the start of the year when it was hot. So, being the ridiculous human being that he was, he decided I must have had tentacles. At first he kept that joke to himself and didn’t say anything. And then one day, I wore a hoodie with some distorted, hardly visible image on it- the only part of which that could be made out were tentacles. Then he told me what he’d been theorizing, and started calling me ‘Squidie.’ “

I’ve never met Ms. Nixon myself, but I’m pretty much convinced that she has tentacles for legs; there’s nothing wrong with that. :]

[ps. i spelt tentacles wrong while writing this post, the spell checker then assumed i meant "testicles," ...its a good thing she doesn't have testicles for legs... cos that would just be weird.]

    I looooooooove this piece! I have a thing (and no not some perverted thing so hush) for Squid and Octopi. I will be checking out PCC, which I’m sure will make me a new fan. Hoping all is well with you good sir!

      i also have a thing for creatures with tentacles… and no, not a sexual thing…

      Also, thanks to Ana, Rembo, and you, Spanky for the kind words!

    Nixon, when will you cease your awesomeness?

    joenis – I happen to know the artist and will neither confirm nor deny the tentacle theories about her legs because I find it more amusing this way (and I might not know… 0.0)

    • Joenis

      I think only her boyfriend REALLY knows. :P

      …that or the octopus she stole from.

  6. SpilledInkGuy

    Very nice!
    Also, I bet if I had tentacle legs I could actually get some serious multi-tasking done! :)

    • Joenis

      Or you might be really depressed that your different and hate life…

      Let’s just say the productive one, yeah?

  7. nixonagnew

    only my boyfriend, “Boy Squidie” as my friend, Will calls him, knows for sure the real answer to the debate…. thanks again to everyone for the kind words!
