Concept sketches for one of the three animal friends living in the vacant lot.

We first saw Mr. Squirrel clutched in Geer’s sweaty palm:

He plays a pretty big role in the first episode, so we needed a puppet for him. Before starting down that road, we needed some concept art to nail down his design.

A first, uncolored sketch. He’s got a nice sense of fearful vacancy in his eyes, but this is Frown Town after all. He needs to be bedraggled, like a he just escaped the wheels of a rusty beater only to fall into the clutches of a preteen sociopath.

And there we go. Bug-eyed and bushy tailed.

Hello there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
