Goat: Hey, Rat. I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. Bob: Hi. I'm Bob. Rat: Hi. I'm Rat. But no need to tell me your name. Bob: Why is that? Rat: I'm pretty sure only mine is important. Goat: He's slightly self-absorbed. Bob: I see. Rat: Hey. No need to be insulting, George.

George is nothing like Paris. What is Rat thinking?

Is Rat going to cry?

Rat is a self-asorbed narcissist.

Slightly self-absorbed? Goat, it’s clear Bob can see Rat is incredibly self-absorbed and needs to once again be taken down by a thousand pegs. Maybe Farina can return and start up her relationship with Rat again only to dumb him for a “real man” like Ziggy (if I recall that left Rat sucking his thumb in the fetal position, or maybe that was the whole giant ego story line and Rat’s Ego went from being two stories tall to an inch in height and Pig easily stepped on it).

He’s probably related to Dilbert.

There’s one name for 90% of the new characters that show up. I could have told you his name was Bob without him saying.

Maybe Bob is using ESPN.

In a way, Rat is right: any Cartoon-Boy character named Bob is nothing but comic cannon-fodder. Rat simply demonstrates that HE does not need to know anyone’s name!

Rat will brook no insults, by George! (If you don’t like it, go cry me a river.)

There are way too many self absorbed Rats out there. All one has to do to find them is get behind the wheel of a car and drive. Cell phone bleating, no use of turn signal necessary, pompous id10t’s. Have a nice day.

1) The rodent’s ego is as wide as a pie-plate, and twice as shallow!2) Pig might enjoy the product mentioned in today’s Ripley’s BION cartoon!

How many “Bob” characters are in this strip? Isn’t this like 3rd or 4th at least?

I knew a Bob once ,and he was a Rat.
dreadlokz almost 12 years ago
He’s a little more than slightly self-absorbant, don’t yall think?
Sherlock Watson almost 12 years ago
Self-absorbed? Why, he’s completely full of himself; somebody should pick him up and wring him out.

What do you suppose Rat was eating off that plate? There are no utensils…
bc_hammond almost 12 years ago
Why the empty plate? Perhaps Rat just finished his pizza or a sandwich. A more talented cartoonist might have drawn food.
