Broadsheet loves the Squee. It’s the yin to our yang. It’s the syrup on our deep-fried chicken and waffle sandwich.

It’s pictures of cute animals, essentially. But not just any old marmosets, badgers and tube-nosed fruit bats. Oh no. This is weapons-grade, brain-emulsifying, type-2-diabetes-inducing cuteness right here.

For your delectation, we present 45 Moments of Squee from the last 11 weeks.

You’re most welcome.

[Many thanks to our friends and suppliers in the wider Squee community]

An amazing stop-motion papercraft animation made by Andersen M Studios for the New Zealand Book Council.

Whether it’s pure cut-and-fold or a combination of Photoshop and CGI is all in the eye of the beholder.

Either way, it is somewhat booktastic.

Fennec Foxes at Everland Zoo. The first two pics were taken three days ago. The bottom three are different kit (or cubs) photographed in September.

In the wild, the Fennec is a nocturnal desert-dweller, not to be confused with the similarly-eared Sand Kitteh.

All pics by In Cherl Kim.

Not content with flogging Snickers, Laurence Tureaud, aka Mr T. is now a spokesperson for Cash America, a mail-in cash for gold company.

He pities the fool that doesn’t trade in their unwanted gold for $$$s.

After Paul ‘Dikshit’ Henry and Tomasz ‘Middle Finger’ Schafemaker, yet another onscreen gaffe has led to the dismissal of a TV presenter.

Finnish news anchor Kimmo Wilska was caught doing a sight-gag for his mates in studio while delivering a serious report on alcohol. And subsequently fired by the network.

Cue ‘outpouring’ of support on Facebook.
