Squirrels are often used in xkcd comics and What if? posts as a way of avoiding reality.

Although the first comic given below is no. 167, this was only a mentioning of Squirrels. The first with a drawing of squirrel was no. 635.

Uses in other xkcd media:

what if?:

• Machine Gun Jetpack
• Blood Alcohol
• Keyboard Power
• Cannibalism

Blag:

• The Laser Elevator

Thing Explainer:

• In the explanation for Boxes that make clothes smell better (i.e. Washing machine and dryer).
  • There is a drawing of a squirrel at the bottom right. Above this there is an arrow pointing to it and the text:

"Wait

Why is this in your house".

• So in this case it was not to hide something unpleasant as has been the case in what if?
