Squirrels Are Evil And Are Taking Over The World
Debbie's first solo picture book, which features bibliophile SQUIRRELS:
Launches May/2015
Squirrels are taking over the world! Don't believe me? Read my About Page, browse my squirrel photos/pics and follow this blog as well as my Squirrels Are Evil And Taking Over The World Facebook page. To see past entries, browse the Beware The Squirrel Archives.
And my picture book featuring Evil Squirrels (ok, maybe more bibliophilic than Evil) is now available!

Thanks to Dave Wheeler for pointing me to this article about flying squirrels invade hospital emergency room for second time in two weeks, yet another step toward their goal of world domination.
The flying squirrel in the photo? A gift from my friends Bill and Gretchen Roper.

More proof that squirrels have been gradually taking over the world ... from as early as the 1800s. (Thanks to Luisa Perrella for the link)

The drawing above is what finally tipped me over the edge in terms of motivation to start this collection of Proof The Squirrels Are Trying To Take Over The World (it is NOT a new blog! Honest!). I've been getting SOOOOOO much great stuff from friends re: the Evilitude Of Squirrels, but nowhere to collect it.
Amanda's mom, speculative fiction author Maya Bohnhoff, posted the above image in Facebook with the comment:
This is something Amanda drew when I told her her kitty cat looked more like a crazed squirrel. Naturally, this called for her to insert Debbie Ohi into the drawing.
Heh. It's my current Facebook profile pic.
Maya is not only a fantastic writer but also performs with her husband Jeff and daughter Kristine. Check out some of the sample tracks of their Grated Hits CD, for example....especially TRACK 5, which mentions squirrels!
You can find out more about the Bohnhoffs at MysticFig.com.
Tuesday, March 22, 2011 at 9:42AM I know you're all wondering the same thing: does the world really NEED yet another "beware of the squirrels because they're eeeevil and taking over the world" blog?
My answer: YES.
A secondary reason: So many people have been sending me such informative and important cautionary material like the video above that it's clear that the scuridific beasts are succeeding in their insidious plot of global domination.
The world MUST be warned.
p.s. This really ISN'T a new blog but rather an extension of DebbieOhi.com, focusing on Evil Squirrel Miscellany. At least that's my justification.
