    So, Pig reads the speech-balloons just like we do! (He’s more literate than he lets on, apparently.)

    Looks like Rat has learned a major lesson of life. If you can’t beat them, join them. :~)

    Well Rat’s speach ballon may have winked but if Rat winked, I must have blinked.

    It is a way to establish a “tone of voice”, which is itherwise difficukt to do in text.

    Sarcasm and other forms of wit that rely on tone of voice and body language are totally lost in text. More flame wars start because someone failed to psychically know that a poster was being sarcastic.I like emoticons.

    There is nothing fun or funny about teasing. I avoid people who think that teasing is acceptable behavior.

    What? Rat didn’t pull out a hammer and whomp Pig on the head?! Gettin’ slow in his old age. Stephan, if you’re out there it’s been a long time. I petitioned you to get into The Oregonian years ago, and some how you stayed! I remember when Rat and Pig were just a a wee mouse and piglet floating around the net looking for a home. God I love this strip. If I only get a minute to check my toons it’s PBS and Get Fuzzy. Would love to see who wins a fight between Rat and Bucky. Both proficient with a frying pan.
