    I used to go to the beach and lie out like that. I just had my 8th and 9th skin cancer surgeries and had cataract surgically removed at age 40. Be smart about sunlight, everyone.

    If this story were written today, the rats would be his accomplices. He would release them in some unsuspecting town, and then lead them away, for a hefty price. Then it’s on to the next town to repeat the scam.

    Read the other comments and you’ll get it. It took me a minute. The “pipe” helped.

    To be pied, he must not apply his suntan lotion very well.

    My first thought when I saw this comic was that it was some sort of allusion to “When the cat’s away, the mice will play”, or something about getting away from the “Rat Race”. Then I noticed the Piper’s hat and instrument.
