Squatch and Raven have what is called a "symbiotic relationship." Squatch never complains about Raven's singing voice and Raven never mentions Squatch's feet.

Custer Revised
Great Moments in Product Endorsement History!
In the Spring of 1876, riding a wave of national notoriety Geroge Armstrong Custer pens a lucrative endorsement deal with Richardson-Vicks Incorporated. Unfortunate incidents later that summer brought the affiliation to an untimely demise. All that remains is this image. It is believed Custer had promotional materials at the Little Bighorn, where in his tent he made editorial changes to the proposed script. Archival evidence suggests the proposed ad copy had Custer claiming that the comforting aromatic vapors of the patent medicine kept his sinus passages clear allowing him to "smell a hostile a mile away."

Nevermore Again
Nothing further then he uttered - just that single word he muttered-
Till the repetition of it left me wishing day to day,
That the bird - its "Nevermore-ing" - growing tedious and boring,
Would spread its inky wings and fly away.

Nevermore!
But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
Then the bird said, `Nevermore.'

HypnoArt! II
Behold the Power of HypnoArt!
"I'm just a sittin' on my porch admirin' this new bit of art from that Mick feller when this here squirrel saunters up and makes like he'd like a peek too. Bein' a friend to all animals and of a generous disposition I place the little painting in the beast's tiny paws. He takes a gander and before you know it his eyes is rollin' back in his head and he goes all slack-jawed and starts to drool just a little bit and swoons dead away."
"Mick's HypnoArt, mighty powerful stuff!"

Because they contain no glitter or metallic paints, these things usually look way BETTER in the scan than they do in person. Just try to hide your disappointment to spare my feelings.
Hey Kids!
The traditional goal of art is creating the AESTHETIC experience in viewers. The opposite of aesthetic is anesthetic and visual anesthesia has the potential of inducing the TRANCE STATE!
Imagine having the power to induce INSTANT AESTHETIC TRANCE!
“Own this art and put anyone into trance easily and quickly.”
I tried for years to learn the Aesthetic Induction, and I was COMPLETELY frustrated. I got to the point where I thought it was all hooey. It wasn’t until I got some 100%REALART MickPainting ACEOs by Mick that it all began to work. I got these little paintings and was totally confused when I first started looking at them. Hamsters and Queens driving tractors with glitter pens and Mounties…I didn’t have a clue what it was about until I started realizing that I was SUPPOSED to be confused.
After looking at the paintings for a while I realized there was a method to his madness. There WAS madness anyway. And I began to see the potential of little paintings onunsuspecting victims subjects
“Without these paintings I couldn’t get results. Buying these paintings was the best thing I could have done.”
I want you to know the absolute truth. Mick is not a miracle worker. Don’t expect his art to give you everything you need to put people into trance instantly - or to levitate for that matter - or to make people cluck like chickens.
They work like magic, but it may take more than one or even six small paintings to achieve the total effect.
“I ordered some ACEOs by Mick. When they arrived in the mail it was like Kwanzaa or maybe St. Swithin‘s Day. I ripped open the envelope and threw aside the surplus protective sheep card and there glistening in its polypropylene penny sleeve was the ACEO. I called a distant estranged cousin and told him to sell his trailer and book it on over here. We started looking at the art and couldn’t wait to get started. After washing some Cheetos down with Root Beer we looked at the art and we both started ZONING out (yes it was THAT good) so we washed our orange fingers and went to the mall.”
“I wish I could tell you that the little painting put the most beautiful girl I had ever seen into a TRANCE so deep that she couldn’t see what a pathetic GEEK I was and agreed to do my bidding (and my laundry). I wish I could tell you that but I’m trying to keep ALL of my claims ambiguous and confusing - like when I use quotation marks, who am I quoting? Is it me talking or an endorsement or what - , but we had a blast. And we could tell that people were really responding differently to us.”

Unlikely Children's Books:
The Monochrome Goat With The Calabash Pipe
In a shameless rip-off of loving homage to Dr. Seuss and Arthur Conan Doyle, Mick presents The Monochrome Goat With The Calabash Pipe. A tale, told in verse, of a goat who fancies himself a sleuth. No barnyard mystery goes unsolved once the Monochrome Goat is on the case.
Here, here, I say, what's all this tripe?
Asked the Monochrome Goat with the Calabash pipe.
I'll search for clues, and I'll deduce
And then we'll find who cooked the goose.
