of
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Vol. 10: Life is Too Short, Squirrel:
"I let go my reservations about the art and just went with the flow of the story and had a hell of a good time. North has fun mixing classic alien invasion paranoia with today's concerns about undocumented immigrants. (Come to think of it, concerns..."

“Jamie let go of me. "Shut your mucky gob, man." He stepped close to our fearless leader in the dark, took hold of his jacket by the collar, and in a dead quiet voice that had gone dangerously Scots, threatened heatedly, "Talk like that again wi' these brave lassies listenin' an' Ah'll tear the filthy English tongue frae yer heid, so Ah will.”
