The Squonk

I Got Me A Sack of Wrinkles Warts and Tears

Hailing from the Hemlock forests of northern Pennsylvania, the Squonk is a smallish quiet creature who’s skin seems to be three times too big for his body. Covered in wrinkles, warts and blemishes, the Squonk is painfully aware of his horrendous appearance and spends most of his time hiding and crying. If ever cornered the Squonk is said to have the ability to dissolve itself entirely into tears, making capture almost impossible (though I do think a modern day tupperware might help).

Squonks and their tears have crept there way into pop culture over the years, from Playstation games to novel nods. I’m even told Genesis has a song about a famed Squonk hunter who bagged his catch only to have the bag lighten mysteriously in transit and when inspected was left only holding tears and bubbles. Now’s your chance to add to this sad little guys legacy. Gather your thoughts and make me some freaking Squonks.

And as an aside I’ve got two wrinkle faced pups so I’m very aware of how cheesey an unmaintained skin wrinkle can be, so I expect to see me at least a stink line or two.

A message from Kendra

our judgeOur Judge this week is Kendra Zager she worked a cube wall away from me at our previous employer. Where she somehow found a living posting to Facebook, tweeting, and writing Youtube titles. After that she started the social media-ness for Total College Sports and the ACC Digital Network.

Recently relocated to LA. Where she is pursuing her dream to become the female Ryan Seacrest fused with Howard Stern with the allure of Carmen Ellectra and the wit of Jenna Marbles. (that last part is all her though I can confirm she’s clever, cute and funny)

Oh yeah, she also wanted me to mention she accepts small gifts and compliments as bribes – @KendraZager
Now let’s show her some freaking Squonks!

You know there’s no feasible way he could stay hydrated with an output like that. And those wee little arms… i love em so… what could they possibly do? . Plus you get points for a tongue that looks kinda like a butt.

Judge’s Commentary

I love this Squonk! The best part is the chipped tooth, the light blue streaming tears, and the two hairs on the left middle growth

Three cheers for this little potatoy dude! I love the little “o” mouth so much I sort of want to print some stationary with him on the bottom corner and I’ll only use it to share bad or at least downbeat news! Also good me arms!

Judge’s Commentary

I love his feet and his two little tears. But seriously, I love his toes!

I like to think this could be an edited scene out of “…Jedi” right after Luke drops the door on the Rancor, it cut to this dude who was very abruptly orphaned… They ended up using that fat whiney Rancor trainer instead as it made fewer kids cry

Judge’s Commentary

this guy is so cute! He’s cute in the way that pugs are cute. Fugly cute. And the bubbly upper lip and saggy eyes are awesome.

He’s like a little Hommel Squonk! Go ahead, grab this lil’ guy and shove him in a bag, I dare ya ; ). In hindsight, it’s possible I could have edited out a wrinkle or two, and it’s he might need a tiny fedora, but overall he makes me smile.

This one came with an apology for the subject matter, but pretty sure this is reasonably tame. And while I’m not entirely up on the modern rules of whoredom, I’m of the opinion that she should be paying him, for looking so much like a cootie!

No wonder he cries all the time… this Squonk is hideous ; ) I’m a huge fan of the little moley hair sprouts and I assume its just the waves over there on the left it looks sorta like he has a giant pair of lopsided testicles! Fantastic fingers too.

Ok so first off I love the structure, but you gotta help me out, is he just an urban Squonk? if he was in jail he wouldnt have access to a dumpster right? And I’m a huge fan of his somewhat insectoid segmentation and what is that a sucker?

I’m just going to play the full on ignorant card and assume the 34 is for Walter Payton. That vague windmill/tree thing is amazing and if you actually dig through the muck and tears that Squonk is really the perfect combo of good and bad

Yes! That my friends is a sad MFing Squonk! I do like to imagine that the tie is not a symbol of his failed and sad life but just a clue that he has at least one thing left he enjoys and that’s his ska, only he’s not quite fat enough to like ska ; )

the Squonk Entry # 10

theSquonkEntry10

Ok so 10 points for lined paper and another 10 points for the first obvious snot I’ve seen! And I’m not sure about the other entries but I like that you can tell this is a lady Squonk by the eyelashes and sexy boots!
