It seems every time you post a puzzle, my friend, I have another song looping round in my mind. Were the characters animated? Or was it more like a comic strip? | ||

are the characters very small in the frame of the puzzle? is it relevant what type of animals they are? are they three of the same animal? do the three belong to a bigger group of anthropomorphic animals? do the animals have superpowers? are they considered to be adults in the comic? is the comic primarily aimed at young boys? | ||

Was the squashing done for comic effect? Did they walk around being flat afterwards? Or did they rebound? Were they squashed under something living? | ||

Was the squashing done for comic effect? Yes Did they walk around being flat afterwards? No; it was just a gag for one strip Or did they rebound? They probably weren't flattened in the first place Were they squashed under something living? No HINT: You'll get farther by focusing on the tribute. | ||

i'm screwed then because I don't think I could name another without googling :-) Go ahead and Google away. HINT: This is a tribute, in a comic strip, to a cartoonist. So the cartoonist likely wrote a comic strip as well. | ||

Were the 3 squashed animals the creation of the dead cartoonist? Did the living cartoonist routinely "squash" animals or people in his comic? Did the dead cartoonist? Was it symbolic - something along the lines of the cartoon animals being destroyed because their creator has died? | ||

No Was it symbolic - something along the lines of the cartoon animals being destroyed because their creator has died? No, nothing like this. For some reason, my computer won't let me copy/paste, so I had to type the questions out. Odd. | ||

well, squashed obviously Other object. You know what... You probably have enough to **********SPOILER********** The Pearls Before Swine comic strip on Nov. 27 was a tribute to Charles Schulz; the strip used the same dialogue and situation as a Peanuts strip for the first few panels, but ended with the main characters being squashed by a Charlie Brown-shaped Macy's balloon.
