Hidden words and magic phrases?

This is a bit off the beaten path for this blog, but an astute poster at rec.arts.comics.strips wondered if the shadow drawn behind the rock in today's B.C. cartoon strip might in fact be a scribbled word.

I thought blowing it up 400% in Firefox would allow me to definitively determine that it was just a scribble. Having done so, there appears to be a dotted "i" in the middle of the 'scribble' in the first panel, and the 'scribble' in the second panel almost certainly ends with 'ite'.

Am I crazy? Or what?

Here are the scribbles at 200% magnification:

Enquiring minds want to know!
