    Maybe all the other diners can hold hands while they urinate on Rat.

    At communal tables, you can swipe other people’s leftovers.

    (or maybe not even wait until they leave)

    The other people wouldn’t be likely to stay long. No one want s to eat at a restaurant that has rats eating the food. The food inspector would have something to say about it.

    This would be like the cafeterias in all the schools I went to. Not pleasant.

    Do you have public urinals in other countries?. I have an idea I heard they’re only Australian. IT’s a whole wall covered with a metal sheet and you pee into a sort of gutter along the wall.

    I have never seen a communal table in a restaurant before. Is this a thing now?

    A good restaurant has food too good and prices too high to waste it eating “family style.” I’m with Whistler: “If other people are going to talk, conversation becomes impossible.”

    The last time I ate at a communal table was summer camp. Which restaurants have communal tables?

    Actually, there are kinda communal tables in those Japanese restaurants where they cook the food right in front of you. I’ve been to such a place at least twice, and it wasn’t really bad.

    I would not want to be part of any Communal Table that would admit Rat as a member….

    Not without pitchforks… just smaller ones.

    I think Stephan missed an opportunity here. Maybe this strip could have been funnier.
