When I was very young and recently married we decided to get a pet (baby substitute), a guinea pig, and let it have the run of the house. It made no noise at all. Later we thought it might like company and got another. Although I cannot remember the sound (squeaky?), they talked to each other incessantly.
It’s an old trick but it always works. It was discovered when they tried to build the first Ferris Wheel on the island. Little-known, untrue “fact” – the first ones were made of iron and called Ferrous Wheels. :)
Very good caricature of the guinea pig’s lower incisors, by the way. Like beavers, if they don’t keep constantly wearing them away by chewing on hard things, they can get uncomfortably long and start piercing the upper lip.
King Guinea Pig (it doesn’t have the same resonance as King Kong!) beats his chest in victory and bellows his jungle-famed cry, “BLOOP!” —I think Tarzan may have done it better….

“Bloop”? I’ve never really heard a guinea pig i guess lmao, is that really the sound they make?

Guinea pigs, besides the bloop noise, also do not pound on their chest.

“BLOOP”? I read it as “BLOOD” at first and got a little scared! I think he’d sound more like a high pitched Godzilla, not a gold fish.

I love the rear view of Jarvis with the tails. Very formal, as always.

I’ll repeat my comment from yesterday: Giant hamster Wheel of Fortune.

I don’t think our HOA would approve but maybe one of these would keep them away. :)

Words fail me for the first frame – ludicrously awesome? or awesomely ludicrous?

But this has certainly been spectacular!
