Does anyone else hear Squidge's voice in their head as a cross between Jar Jar Binks and Gollum?

With a smidgeon of Chamberlain from The Dark Crystal added as well?

Strangly enough, yes

I found myself trying out smeegl's voice when I was reading it ^^ It fits his aperance to a tee. I realy should record it, had my cousin in fits of laughter.

I always heard Squidge's voice as Dobby from Harry Potter myself. The little House Elf character for those who don't remember.

Well, let's face it, the "shrimpy, wimpy goblin-like critter in rags" thing pretty much comes with an iconic "high-pitched pitiful growling voice" (occasional hissing optional) that you pretty much expect to hear when you see one in cartoons or movies. Gollum and Dobby are hardly the first ones. One of my favorites was the dwarf ogre from the old Gummy Bears cartoon.

But Toady's diction is better than Squidge or Gollum.

I think Squidge sounds like Peter Lorre...
