Squid Sighting 008: Game of Thrones (Greyjoy Mascot)
In George R.R. Martin’s popular novel series, Game of Thrones, one of the houses use a giant squid as a mascot. Check it out, they even have t-shirts!

xkcd’s Desert Island comic features a giant squid. I don’t know what it’s clinging to, but it’s still being awesome!
I’m watching Watchmen for the first time, and Adrien’s equipment says “S.Q.U.I.D. Energizer” on it under Paris’ time/map. IT WAS AWESOME. I am also told that in the graphic novel, it is actually in the shape of a squid. Win.
Sorry about the inactivity!
There’s a cute Etsy shop called Obey My Brain by Josh Freeman that sells various squid hats. My boyfriend actually bought one for me, and they’re excellent pillows and decorations to boot! Go on, you know you want to…
The inevitable has happened. Every squid in the world performed The Daily Ritual (i.e. checking webcomic updates) at approximately 4:17PM this evening and was met with an epic surprise on Penny & Aggie: select chibi squid were featured in the background of the last panel.
We can now spend the rest of our lives focusing specifically on mushroom defeat and world domination. Our life’s purpose is one third of the way through to completion.
To our great awe, regret and anger, Dr. Zoidberg revealed the day we squid prefer to mate during a passing comment tonight:
“For some reason I’m as frisky as a squid on Tuesday.”
We are shocked and will take immediate action in bringing down this lowlife that dares speak of our sexual inclinations. You better watch yourself, John A. Zoidberg.
A giant squid was sighted conquering Youtube today, and the reason I use passive voice here is because today’s sighting is not technically a sighting because it’s something that a character sees in their surroundings, hidden off to the side where we ourselves cannot see. (The squid however is clearly there in its fabulous solid mass.)
In Fred Rescues the Neighborhood Squirrels, Fred goes on an epic quest to locate the squirrels that Fat Kevin has taken hostage and hidden away from the world. On his journey, Fred spots a giant squid hidden underneath a porch and proceeds to freak out about it (and with good reason, we are fearsome). He also later zooms in on a trio of mushrooms that are hiding and/or stuck in a tree and comments, “Oh my gosh, that’s so sick, I bet that’s what the giant squid formed!”
Just to clarify, Fred’s hypothesis is incorrect. We squid would never ignore a mushroom without first shredding it to pieces with our glorious, mighty tentacles.
I woke up early today to retrieve something from the garage before the garbage truck came, so when I tried to get back to sleep and couldn’t, I turned on the T.V. Imagine my surprise when, flipping through the channels, I saw a squid in cartoon form!
It was on Nick Jr., so it was one of those shows where the characters repeat things to instill certain ideas in kids’ brains when they’re young. Wonder Pets is basically where these three animal superheroes go saving things, but in this episode, they themselves need to be saved from a giant whale that tried to eat them. Guess who saves them? A squid, of course!
First the squid makes the whale a delicious seaweed salad, then it tries to make it yawn, and then it tickles the whale until it finally regurgitates our now disgusting heroes. After the REAL hero has finished his work, a bunch of other sea animals come over saying “WE’RE HERE TO HELP!” Sorry bitches, Squid’s’ got it covered, gtfo kthxbai.
Squid was so awesome with his work, he was gone before I even got a chance to take a picture. What a guy!
