My wonderful, talented friend Steph responded with a link to my Jimmy Swinnerton post, informing me of a site dedicated entirely to flying squirrel art.

The site contains links to original art, scientific and anatomy drawings and paintings of flying squirrels from North America from colonial times through 2002. Some of them are even from the webmaster’s personal collection (how great is that? A flying squirrel collection!).

Clearly, the following narrative illustration ends with the squirrel flying blissfully to safety and living happily ever after. Please don’t argue with me on this.
