A few days ago, Pastis said he wanted something to shake up the strip. This is just a break in the action while he considers what to do next. You could call it a pause … a pregnant pause.

it was pig’s fault, gave rat from his food, and now Rat has a Kidney stone

I haven’t changed my guess since last week. I’m still betting on “burrito”.

OH Stephan, you better not be stealing this from a Ren & Stimpy Adult Cartoon Party episode – this reminds me when Stimpy was very very constipated

You got us into this mess, Cartoon-Boy! You’d better be clever enough to get us out, or some very big friends with baseball bats will be coming to visit you….

Beer belly, or as it is sometimes called in Canada, a Labatt’s tumor.

As the tired saga continues to the point of disgusting.
Fido (aka Felix Rex) about 10 years ago
As I try to remind my students when we’re learning a little zoology — only humans can be ‘boys’ or ‘girls’. Other living organisms are ‘male’ or ‘female’ (those that have that distinction…)
So maybe Rat is having Rats…(or perhaps rat/pig hybrids)

I’ll bet it’s a huge, stinking, steaming, disgusting, brings tears to your eyes, makes you want to bite your tail, screaming pun that he’ll drop once Pastis runs out of ideas to milk this series.
feralglance about 10 years ago
It’s a concentrated ball of skepticism.

Rat was impregnated by magical fairies. So, he’s giving birth to a…unicorn!

It’s a rat or a beer belly!
piefest about 10 years ago
will neuter rat be a permanent character?
Caltex about 10 years ago
Should not be the Pig having a baby? Or Pigitta? Just think about it, Rat gives a birth to little rat. And people hate rats, small and big ones. But people DO love piglets. Piglets and cheese.

I vote beer belly.

Must be something he ate. Ratatouille no doubt.

Isn’t obvious? Haven’t you heard? Gender assignment is oppressive. The baby should be able to choose for itself.
AwelCruiz about 10 years ago
Like Cliff Huxtable, Rat will give birth to a twelve-foot party sub and a bottle of orange soda.

It’s a cartoonist!
claire de la lune. about 10 years ago
I don’t really want to know what it is…
Akhilleus about 10 years ago
@claire de la lune.
That might be it. After all, Pastis mentions that cartoonists constitute their own gender…

I guess then it is either a Goy or a Birl…
