perhaps a metaphor for what the politicians and investment bankers are doing to the world’s economy???

Uh oh- it looks like Rat is one of those OWSers . . .

ajnotales, Zippy007 — When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when all you have is a single issue to obsess about, everything looks like a metaphor for it. Yes?

Rat reminds me so much of a buddy of mine. I gotta stay on the other coast to stay out of trouble…OWS is ‘way too naive and tame, especially since they’re being set up by the TP puppets and GOP politicians…
It’s OK, though: OWS will wise up. They gave Wall St, the banks, and the GOTP a chance to do the right thing…

Pig needs to go to Home Depot, get the biggest rat trap they sell and put a beer in it for bait. End of the rodent problems!
JeffdlS about 13 years ago
Rat’s been listening to Talking Heads.
deangup about 13 years ago
Would be funnier if in the last panel Rat said something like “Democracy is for sissies.”
Zebrails about 13 years ago
“Smoke On The Water” by Deep Purple came to mind.

“Vote early, vote often”
++++
If Pig waits, he’ll get the second option:
“Just because someone is dead doesn’t keep them from voting.”
I grew up in Chicago. My uncle always voted Republican while he was alive—and Democrat once he died.

@BqggzS. Pastis will probably draw Rat with proper feet and shoes the day Donald Duck wears pants.

“I’m hung like planet Pluto, hard to see with the naked eye, but if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don’t shine, cause I’m kind of like Han Solo always stroking my own Wookie, I’m the root of all that’s evil, yea, but you can call me cookie. The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, we don’t need no water let the motherf***er burn, burn motherf***er, burn.”
