It seems that February is when all the freaks come out. We’re not talking about people who really enjoy Valentine’s Day, we’re talking about mankind’s sworn enemies, the animals.
First, there was evidence of radioactive spiders, and now we’ve got a purple squirrel, whose powers and agenda have yet to be declared.
The squirrel was trapped by a couple in a town called Jersey Shore, which is for some reason in Pennsylvania, so there’s more than one puzzle in this story. The squirrel appears to be normal in every other way, but it’s just freaking purple. Somewhere, Grimace is recalling that wild night years ago with a squirrel in a tree behind a McDonald’s.
