    Maybe if you gave him a model train too, he wouldn’t be so grumpy.

    So the uncle is grumpy, the woman is dopey, and in the last panel Rat is punchy.

    I thought Rat was the grumpy one who no one liked.

    Wanda should tell Rat “Eyes up here.”

    Meet Uncle Jerry, Wanda. He probably doesn’t even like massages…. It’s good to see that Rat isn’t the Black Sheep of the family, though. They’re all Black Sheep.

    most important rule when meeting family, especially somebody else’s family … no matter what, no matter who … just smile and nod … smile and nod …

    “The Grumpy Guy Nobody Likes”—that would be our Rat!

    On the positive, it appears Rat needn’t worry a relative will steal his date.

    AMAZING!, a morning GUFFAW, and only a couple of rats and Wanda in the strip. ( I now remember why she looked familiar, I believe I have run into her during a few sojourns into Nevada )

    Something moved between the four panels at top and the three at bottom. Rat’s nose is at or above Wanda’s chest, then suddenly below her waist. Did she start out kneeling or sitting?

    it appears that wanda moved a bit farther away…so she must now be standing closer to us; hence a change of perspective, so rat appears shorter. 8-)
