    Pig, you should re-consider the company you keep.

    Ow! First kick – to the pork chops. Second – right in the belly bacon. That’s gotta hurt.

    I’d like to roll that model right into the nearest ditch – kick him to the curb, so to speak.

    Whatever happened to Guard Duck’s little friend? He and Rat Jr. could pal around together.

    Ouch! Ouch! That’s got to hurt; looks like Pig got it in the oompa-loompas again. How can he continue to live with Rat? (I mean that in the literal sense.)

    Twice to the Oompa-Loompas, that’s bad. Hopefully L’il Rat will find a supeior role model than Rat, like maybe one of Rat’s clones.

    @ oldschool: the last panel scene is from opposite side (notice the direction Pig has fallen), hence, no mug in picture..Rat is a role model for future Hell’s Angels.

    Rat is not a model, he’s a VERY bad example!

    Everyone deserves a role model, but not everyone is cut out to be one. A world filled with little Rat proteges? shiver Scary!

    Little Rat is so cute. vHe’s the cutest vermin since Ratbert. Maybe Pastis can merchandise him.

    I thought comic strips were supposed to be funny? Problem here is that Pastis has revealed too much reality with regards to most parenting/role modeling positions in this society.

    No good can come of there being a Mini-Rat…Unless he turns out like the clones Rat made that were very sweet and loving….and got him fired from his job at Joe’s Roastery…

    I hope that lil Rat becomes a recurring character. This has real possibilities.

    Kicked in the oompa-loompahs for being curious. There’s no justice.
