GRIMES:  ""Squod", as in Doodley, was a flook. A carryover of Mark Martin (again), being editor there briefly of the comics page section. Just tried to think what they'd like - so it was robots and cyclops. They woudn't be likely to ever publish me again, under normal circumstances. I liked how the page turned out."  -- Rick Grimes (December 22nd, 2008).
