Crackers and salsa monster

Squarey Monster 117

Today's monster (actually yesterday's monster - man, am I a slacker or what?) is Gargor, a friendly little dude you definitely want in your life.

Gargor

This is a monster you definitely want to have around. His horns look dangerous, but they’re actually there to help you stay in place when you stand up in the bath or take a shower. Gargor is a Sliplessagriptic, a microscopic creature who works with millions of his best friends to stay under your feet when you walk on slippery surfaces. They only like to work with bare feet, though, so don’t expect them to be around when you slip on the ice.

Squarey Monster 54 (Ridicula)

Today's Squarey Monster is a candy vampire (better known as a "notsferustochew")

Ridicula

So you think vampires suck blood, huh? Well that’s mostly true, but some want nothing but…candy. Yep, that’s right — chocolate, suckers, lollipops, chews, bars, crispy cookie thingies — you name it. Thing is. Ridicula can’t eat the candy himself. He’s only got the two fangs you see, and no molars for chewing. He ate a ridiculous amount of candy before he joined the ranks of the undead, and he lost all his teeth. Instead he satiates himself vicariously through you by enticing YOU to eat ridiculous amounts of candy! Sounds like a yummy enemy to have.

Squarey Monster 35 (drool)

We're almost 1/10th through with this project. Scary! Ahem…Squarey! I already don't want it to end!

Here's today's Squarey Monster…

Drool

Whenever you get hungry or thirsty microscopic creatures congregate inside your mouth. They know if you’re hungry you’ll be eating soon. They’re collectively known as “drool.” They live in your saliva, and they eat your food when you put it in your mouth! It’s nothing to worry about. You’ll hardly miss the small amount they consume. But they can be annoying when you’re asleep. They love the comfort of a soft pillow, so if your mouth is anywhere near one when you sleep they like to sneak out for a rest.

Squarey Monster 34

Update, July 6, 2011:

Here's another angle on this one:

Another kitchen monster I made with the top to a tea tin, tea bags, ear buds, and a googley eye I happen to keep in the kitchen (collected as a souvenir from a friend's Halloween party - they were floating in the punch). The squeakers are rescued from a dog toy. Whenever my dog kills a toy, I take the squeakers away so she won't choke. When they are left in tact I save them. Some day I'm going to make a toy for her with 100 squeakers.

I had the foresight to consider trying something new. I moved the eye slightly for two shots (the eye was sitting inside a gum ball machine Family Guy cup (about 1/3 the size of a shot glass). I used the two shots to make an animated GIF. In retrospect, next time I should make his wings flap too!

Squarey Monster 22 (a Wonky-witz)

Today's Squarey Monster might look familiar to fans of the Squarey Monsters. It's a Wonky-witz - yes, just like Clup, but he serves a different purpose.

Browzer

Browzer is a Wonky-witz (just like Clup)! A Wonky-witz is a robotic pet of the Witzy-wonk robotic monsters from Wonky Island. These pets are good for a great many environmental purposes. Browzer specializes in finding the greenest products. Bring him shopping, and his scanner eye will find the packaging made from recycled materials or the cleaning product isn’t dangerous for the environment.
