Well, yes, now it’s just called Weasel Grease. Back in the old days, they would grease weasels for some purpose that is forever lost in the mists of time.
All we know is the saying: “The squeaky weasel gets the grease.”

No, no, “Weasel Grease” isn’t for lubricating weasels, it’s just a brand name. You know, like how “Turtle Wax” isn’t for polishing turtles.

I bet Weasel Grease has a cute cartoon spokescritter named “Willie Weasel” who tells all his friends that they’ll never need anything but Weasel Grease for their lubrication needs. Car axles? Bicycle chains? You bet! For great grease, nothing beats a Weasel!

That’s one of the nice things about webcomics. You can create a universe and people it with fun characters, like Claire. And you can acknowledge friends and co-creators and the wonderful things they do.

I’m sure I’ll never have a store named after me in real life, because my last name is too hard to pronounce and spell. However, in the GK land I can have everything I want! Including Yakutis melons served by Claire! *tear*

That reminds me. I need to pick up a six pack of ‘N’stuff’ on the way home from work … and a quart of Weasel Grease; it also works on ferrets.

Hmmm, sounds like somebody’s “buy-curious.”
Which was almost the title for today’s strip.

When my daughter was a wee pup, I used to take her grocery shopping. We’d start in Produce, where I’d give her a “may-toto.” She’d eat while we shopped, and when we got to the checkout I’d bring an extra may-toto to pay for. They never let me pay for the one she ate.
And I use that story to embarrass her occasionally too.

weasel grease and soylent green? I’ve been looking for this store all my life.

Some furries don’t require grease.

Yeah, I realised what she meant about two seconds after I’d posted. 😛
