The Olympics Have Given Us the Best Option for Squirrel Girl

If you’ve been following the Olympics at all, you’ve become very familiar with the Final Five, the US women’s gymnastics team who have won the team all-around gold medal and are now going on to compete for more prizes. So you’ve seen Laurie Hernandez, who is adorable.

SO adorable, in fact, that she almost looks a bit like a cartoon character come to life. And I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about some character called “Squirrel Girl” lately. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I have never read any “Squirrel Girl” comics and I have no idea if Laurie Hernandez can act or if she even wants to. BUT COME ON! Stick a big fuzzy tail on her, and she’s perfect! She flies through the air, she’s good at running along narrow branches/beams, what more could you ask for? She’s basically a squirrel girl already, let’s just make it official.

@ P&G's come at me🔥
