    Not Rat… Shocking. I bet this character is soon to be found an antisocial psychopathic, teen prostitute that Rat ultimately locks away with the family circus kids in hopes of a melting pot event.

    That results in some socially acceptable citizens from all the victims, sorry test subjects… Sorry I meant volunteers.

    @Matther,You described half the people in line at Sunday’s book signing in Minneapolis.BTW: Stephan looks almost exactly like he draws himself in the strips. Brown hair, baseball hat on backwards, unshaven, goatee, etc. Nice guy.

    Good one. For awhile I was afraid you DID mean me, and that you would send RAT.

    You can see right here in my avatar that my hair is (ahem) red.

    Is Goldilocks 2011 (a.k.a. CartoonCritic2544) going to torture and kill that teddy bear she clutches?Rescue the bear, Cartoon-Pastis! Rescue the bear from evil Goldilocks 2011! We’ll testify in your defense when you’re charged with child abuse, assault, battery, and stalking, all premeditated…. Know any good lawyers? (Not Rat! You’ve already got a record, thanks to him.)

    Speaking of a comic-strip writer who is a “nice guy,” last June I went to see the ceremony for the promotion of the son of one if my friends, Sally. It was at Ft. Benning, GA. It happened that Mike Peters, who writes “Mother Goose and Grimm,” was at the ceremony, because he had visited the soldier in Iraq and they had become buddies. When we went to the reception afterward, I told Sally that I wished I could get Mike’s autograph, but didn’t want to bother him. So she dragged me over to him, and he was the most gracious person you could imagine. He autographed my program and made a little drawing of Grimm. I guess not all cartoonists are “nice guys,” but these two sure are.

    This sounds weird but am I the only one who really, really wants a timmy failure cameo?
