    Doesn’t somebody that spends his time making a million black dots qualify as one of the black dots?

    Rat’s showing us a picture of his brain — tiny and blank.

    The thing is, Rat is correct, and anyone that disagrees with him is just proving his point…

    Rat has given himself a mission. Is that what he wanted? Is that really bright and shining?

    Actually, Rat, that white dot should be black and the rest white.

    Rat’s map is scary, but true. Here’s another one…

    The black represents what WE know about funny. The white dot is what Pastis knows about funny… :D

    Rat should re-read Acts 29:13—“Let he who is without dopiness draw the first dot”!!

    Later that same day, Paris made a phone call…

    “Hello, LuAnn, Margo, Tommie, this is Paris. Please tell me that Apartment 3-H is still for rent!”

    Ads covered up the important part of Sandfan’s map. I was able to see it by clicking “open image in new tab”. For the lazy or browser impaired, the map shows a circle around eastern and southeast Asia with the caption “There are more people living inside the circle than outside it”.

    The world would be a much better place if we understood we are All black dots. Rather than thinking we are so smart.

    It says I have a self-depreciating sense of humor and understand sarcasm much as Pastis does.He doesn’t take himself seriously, and neither do I. On the other hand you should learn to lighten up and enjoy life.

    “Doesn’t somebody that spends his time making a million black dots qualify as one of the black dots?” Rat found a way to be a cartographer without leaving the house on one of the coldest days in a century. He is not an idiot. I am sure he could sell it with the caption explaining it is a map of idiots in the world with the buyer (me) being the exception. It is an original idea that can produce revenue and jobs for the printer, sells people and the company he is a cartographer for.Again Rat is not an idiot.

    If Rat represents the world’s only hope, then I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

    In my opinion, Rat is not as bright as a star.More like dim as a torch which needs a new battery.xxx

    @TheTrustedMechanic—Acts of the Apostles is the fifth book of the New Testament.

    BTW, trusted by whom?

    I just try to ignore individual party doctrine and confrontational sermonizing. If not, I would probably dislike a lot more people due to their unrealized irrational prejudice and bigotry rather than what fine individuals they otherwise are.

    He mistakenly read the description of the dot as “Ray of hope” instead of “Rat of hope”
