The Ramblings of an Anthropromorphic Squirrel

The band’s name is R.A.M. even through theres no sheep or ram in the band

They are not the actual R.E.M. just impersonators like the Beagles

Their stage names are Peter Buck, Bill Beary, Mike Moles, and Michael Stripe.

Yes the cats stage name is Michael Stripe

Stripe is a strict vegetarian cat who eats no rodents or birds

Stripe has a problem with purring while he sings, making the vocals sound mumbly hence why he was hired as an rem impersonator!

Big C and Mike Moles have fought before, it was over the stage name because he’s not a stinking mole but Big C demanded it or no job

Peter is the mascot of the salad bar because yes giant 6’2 scary deerman being a huge fan of vegetables is funny to me

Mike Moles and Crusty are besties over baseball and the Swingers

Peter hates everyone except Stripe, Beary, Artie Antlers, The Beagles, and the children, he took the job because he loves children and music

Stripe is scared of Jasper because he’s a dog and whenever he starts laughing, he bolts

Peter is also terrified of bright lights because deer but he has to cope with it.

Peter rarely smiles unless around children then he genuinely smiles and even allows the kids to pet him

Peter has a problem with infodumping about music during the inbetween songs and yes they have to pull a fruitcake dog and reset him for him to get him out of it and “shaddaup and play”

I drew R.E.M. in the old Pizza Time Theatre art style as a challenge! PTT had side shows spoofing The Beatles and The Beach Boys, so why not draw R.E.M.?

We have Peter as a deer

Bill as a bear

Mike as a hamster

And Michael as a cat!

I feel like Michael came out a little rough, but there really isn’t much official art of his design inspirations Crusty the Cat, Madame Oink, and Harmony Howlette, so I had to cobble together something.
