Description How can you not love a talking squirrel with a Green Lantern ring? For Heaven's sake, he's got a bow-tie and suspenders! If you don't just love this, the most adorable of Green Lanterns, you have no heart.

I tried approaching him from a realistic standpoint as an experiment as much as anything. Usually, Ch'p is drawn as basically a Loony Toon character, and I thought it would be more interesting (and cuter) if he was really a genuine squirrel.

Its pretty funny to think of a squirrel as a green lantern! Besides, he must have one of the smallest rings out their! Never the less, he's still pretty freaking cute!!!

Please excuse my ignorance, but how is there a SQUIRREL Green Lantern? Or is it just an alien that looks like a squirrel?

Just an alien that looks like a squirrel, sadly. Though I always imagined our earth-squirrels were related to the space-squirrels somehow.

Hey, if it's gonna be EVIL, it may as well be cuddly too. I'd feel much more comfortable with adorable overlords than creepy, demonic ones. Or even average human villain types. Give me fluffy tyrants any day!

I remember ( and laugh doing so) when in GL:First Flight" they want to appoint someone to check the baggage area at the spaceport: Ch' "I always get the boring ones. Let the new one do it!"
The mosrt lovable of GLs... at least till my oen furry GL is ready!

I love squirrels. They're my favorite woodland critters. And I always thought Ch' would be better as an actual squirrel than as some Looney Toons character.

I totally agree with you! Ch' was a little silly, but was one of my favorite GL characters! I was really let down that they killed him in such a ridiculous way...

In terms of art, I love the way your portrayed him; much more like a real squirrel than the original!

That car thing was just beyond rediculous! One of my all-time favorite GL's and they kill him off with a freaking road-kill?! GRAH! Thanks for the love, though

Yes but at least even in death he is remembered as the funniest ending in comics(overall that has to go to Chuckles the clown from the Mary Tyler Moore show who was dressed as a giant peanut and shelled by an elephant)
I do agree he was fun although I never rember seeing him with the bow-tie gimmick looks cool

This reminds me far too much of an Eddie Izzard quote. Several Izzard quotes actually.

Get the ring! It's the source of his power!

I would *pay* to see him with a flute made out of lantern energy.

Wow. The Corps must've been putting lantern rings in Crackerjacks for a while, 'cause that's my only guess as to how a squirrel got its mits on one. It is pretty funny, though.

Sorry, I never really followed the Green Lantern series. At least not until some time back in the mid-ninties when Kyle Rayner was on the scene. But it was only for a little while and somewhere along the line I lost interest. But Green Lantern always did seem like the artist's ideal superhero. I'd give my left hand for a ring that could make whatever I imagined manifest.
