Have I mentioned that I love Scooter? Just look at him! ^.^

From the Muppet Show Style Book - a drawing of Scooter, lying on the floor, reading a book, propped up on one elbow. He's got a glass of drink on one side, and a plate with half-eaten sandwich on the other. Behind him, a radio/cassette player is playing music, and he's waggling his feet to the music.

Hey, everyone, I'm a big squirrel! My pull-up's all dry because I go on the potty and not in my pants! Old sketch by Candi the wild pig - look how fluffy and cute and clever I look! ^.^

Pencil sketch of Zee-Zee, wearing nothing but his pull-up, looking very happy! ^.^

Then Wendy came to see that one didn't stay at two for the rest of one's life. Indeed, two is the beginning of the end. The end is being grown-up.

Illustration from Peter Pan - a baby sits on a milestone engraved "2 YEARS" and really doesn't look happy about it.

Here's a favourite old picture of Zed and Zena, drawn by Gem, having a quiet moment before Zee-Zee wakes up! ^.^

Early breakfast time in the Squirrel household - Zed is sitting at a table, newspaper in one hand and toast in the other, wearing a shirt and tie, while Zena is in a dressing gown, making a cup of tea.

Simon, hallucinating from lack of sleep and a backfiring invention, staggers down the middle of the street, which he sees as a road paved with gold, with giant mushrooms lining each side.

Cleaning your room is difficult and shouldn't be allowed. *nods* Also, Simon is adorable. ^.^

Simon sits on the floor of the Chipmunks' bedroom, sorting through an enormous pile of his old inventions, and trying to decide which to get rid of. He can't bear to part with any of them, but they're filling the entire house... ^.^

Big squirrels know when they need to sit on the potty and when they don't, so don't you grown-ups tell me to when I don't need to! There's a whole book about that and we oughta read it together! ^.^

From "On Your Potty" by Virginia Miller. Bartholomew the bear has been told to sit on his potty, so he does (after only complaining a little bit), and tries, but nothing happens.

TMI Tuesday! Ask a clever squirrel something! Ask me if I have to go potty (grown-ups always do that) or why I would want to go to the potty (silly babies always do that), or anything else at all! ^.^ (Awesome old pic by Lig)

Zee-Zee sits on a beanbag next to a wall in a carpeted room. He's wearing his glasses as always, a blue T-shirt and just a pull-up (decorated with stars) on his lower half. His legs are tucked underneath him and his big tail curled around. He's holding a book called "Potty Time", and reading it with a studious, serious look. It's clever stuff. ^.^

QRP with your most popular post on Bluesky! These are the four most popular things I've posted. 1) Zee-Zee the scientist, by Fang 2) Chester feels validated, drawn by ME! (I'm amazed; thank you all!) 3) It was Gem!, by Gem 4) Big boy in space pants, also by Gem

Little Scientist Zee-Zee is kneeling on the floor of the science centre (playroom), carefully squeezing milk from a baby bottle into a big-squirrel sippy cup! There are science posters on the wall, a Newton's cradle, a drinking bird and a Geomag on the floor around him.

Black and white sketch. On a big TV screen, baby Bugs Bunny is standing and smiling, wearing a diaper. On the floor, watching it (with a video tape cardboard box lying in front of the VHS player) sits Chester Bun, cross-legged and in a diaper. He says "I feel validated by this..."

Baby Gem is sitting on the living room carpet in front of the sofa, pacifier in her mouth and happily playing with Grub. There are building blocks and colourful teething-ring keys scattered around her.

Behind her, there's a puddle on the floor, and a big brother Zee-Zee clutching his shorts, looking up at an offscreen grown-up and pointing to Gem. She did it!

I don't think anyone's going to believe him.

Zee-Zee stands very proudly in a T-shirt saying "Big boy" in colourful letters, and a pull-up with a space rocket on the front!

Mommies and Daddies always like to pull out the embarrassing videos... *blush* (Old art by @tacki-hatchy.bsky.social that's one of my all-time favourites)

Zee-Zee the toddler squirrel, framed by camcorder display, stands in front of a table on which stands a birthday cake with two candles, with a pile of presents on the floor. Zee-Zee is wearing a red and white striped pointy party hat, his big round glasses, green shirt and tan shorts, and he's holding a wrapped gift labelled as being from Tacki, which looks excitingly like it might be a giant acorn. In fact, the whole occasion might be a little bit too exciting, because the pull-up under Zee-Zee's shorts has sprung a very big leak, and wetness is soaking through the crotch and down the legs... ^.^

Simon is my precious little baby and I want to protect him forever. I know I've said it before, but it's still true. Look at him hiding behind Dave's leg and peeking out! He so needs a hug! ^.^

The chipmunks have had a scary experience being chased by a very scary man - who, as it turned out, just wanted to frighten them to teach them a lesson for misbehaving (which was entirely Alvin's fault). But even after everything has been made clear, when Dave comes back Simon spends the entire scene clinging to and hiding behind his leg. Just in case. ^.^

Zee-Zee @zee-zee.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Just getting back into drawing, though my arm is still not fully back in action. Sometimes if you want your friends to admire your achievement, you need to drag them by the paw and point it out! ^.^

Zee-Zee the toddler squirrel drags Kaffre the kitten by the paw over to his little potty with an impressive pool of liquid in it, pointing and saying "Look what I did!" Kaffre rolls his eyes, but he knows from experience that an "Oh wow!" is what's called for here, and he'll happily oblige.

Hi! I'm Zee-Zee, and I'm two and a bit years old, and I'm a big squirrel and not a baby! I know how to go to the potty exactly like the big kids and grown-ups do, and I nearly don't have accidents much any more ever! Some of the babies still need diapies, but not me! I'm clever for my age, you know!

Zee-Zee the red squirrel toddler sits on his little yellow potty, with purple shorts around his ankles and a blue T-shirt on his top half. His tail is curled around on the floor behind him, and he looks up and to the left through his big round glasses, chatting happily with a smile. ^.^

TMI! Everyone's doing it today! Ask me questions and I'll answer them! I don't mind if you ask the big squirrel who's so good at remembering to go to the potty that he's nearly ready for grown-up undies, or if you wanna ask the grown-up me! Just ask whatever you wanna ask! ^.^

When I was nine years old, the BBC repeated this episode of The Muppet Show, and I fell in love with Scooter. He was probably my first celebrity crush. I was trying to learn the guitar too, and not getting anywhere (I never did). I absolutely adore this song! ^.^ youtu.be/eY_YZ0WcqyI?...

Zee-Zee sits on the couch between his parents, as they all watch TV.

Zed is wearing an England shirt, and waving an England scarf, saying "Come on, England!"

Zena is waving a little US flag and cheering "U.S.A.!"

Zee-Zee, wearing a shirt with a picture of a ball on it, just cheers "Yay football!"

Doctor appointments are no fun, and they don't even seem susceptible to bribery... ^.^

Zee-Zee sits in a doctor's surgery, wearing only his pull-up and glasses. The hand of a doctor, holding a scary syringe, can be seen. The doctor says "Be a big brave boy and let me give you your shot, and then you can have a lollipop!"

Zee-Zee replies "If I give YOU a lollipop, can I not have the shot?"

Behind Zee-Zee, a poster on the wall reminds rodents to keep their teeth healthy by brushing, flossing and gnawing daily.

Just like you can't convince a clever squirrel that diapers are better than pull-ups, Simon is adorably cynical about Alvin's schemes. (Although he always ends up getting completely absorbed in his brother's wild imagination in the end, but he does get to say I-told-you-so when it collapses) ^.^

Simon stands in the upstairs hallway of the Seville house, arms folded and a flatly disbelieving look on his face as he listens to off-screen Alvin's explanations.

Grown-up Zed Squirrel is holding a big stick in his left hand and little Zee-Zee's paw with his right, as he cheers "Onward, to adventure!" and takes a big step forward, dressed uncharacteristically in T-shirt and shorts.

Zee-Zee smiles "Daddy, stop pulling!" as he's dragged along, holding his own big stick in his free hand and wearing his cool blue shirt with a 2 on it and orange shorts.

Panel 1: Toddler squirrel Zee-Zee stands in front of baby squirrel Gem, who's sitting on the floor and looking up at him. Zee-Zee sings "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!" and Gem obediently claps her hands twice.

Panel 2: Zee-Zee turns and looks up at an offscreen grown-up, waving his arm wildly and pointing to Gem with the other, screaming "I TAUGHT HER TO DO THAT!" - while Gem cheerfully claps her hands a lot more.

It's possible I'm a bit of a stuck record here on Bsky - clever squirrel who giggles and hugs, happy to be super grown up and go to the potty, and I think Simon is adorable. But maybe I still haven't said that enough and need to do it more. Did YOU know I'm a clever big squirrel? ^.^

My most used word on Bluesky is apparently "clever", closely followed by "hugs", "squirrel" and "giggle". ^.^

I love him so much! I'm sorry I keep going on about it, but Simon being just so perfectly nearly-but-not-quite-grown-up just makes my heart melt every time! Here he is, making a romantic meal for his crush, and being adorable. ^.^

Simon and Theodore are in the kitchen, both wearing chef hats and aprons. Simon is holding a wooden spoon and giving Theodore a taste of the stew from the saucepan in front of them. Theo is also wearing oven gloves, and is carefully appraising the flavour.

Simon is at the kitchen counter, with a rolling pin to roll out some pastry. He points to it a little uncertainly, as Theodore watches with a serious expression. There are a couple of eggshells lying on the counter too.

Squirrels only bite tough things that are good to gnaw. If we bite you, we're just checking whether you're the right kind of thing to nibble. Good big squirrels know not to bite people even if they're being rude and saying you need diapers when you really obviously don't

National Park Service tweet - Most squirrel bites originate at the front, or "bitey end," of the squirrel.
