Transcript:
Rat: Sir, I know you've rejected all my character. But how about this one? I call him 'Satch." Man: Satch, huh? Kinda cute is it short for something? Rat: Saturated fat molecule. Man: Security please. Rat: Look, kids! I clog your veins. Rat pitches new characters to McDonald's

The only meat McDonalds has is in its fries — then we found out that’s fake too…..So, why don’t you name yourself Master Soy, Rat?

Rat: “Fine. Then I’ll take these ideas to Burger King. They can give them Canadian accents and air them as French McDonald’s.”

Rat looked more like a lemon than a molecule; but then he would be too tart to…never mind.

@danfromfreddybeachThat’s the same for any salad not just McD’s.

Having worked for a company that takes car of McD tech, I can honestly say……there is no such thing as healthy or fresh food at McDonald’s. Everything comes in frozen, but not flash-frozen to maintain freshness. more like cryo frozen, which isn’t good for anything.

Is Satch related to Bippy (the round smiley character that Pastis brought in for a couple of strips a few years ago)?

Take Rat out back and work him over a bit, Security Guys! Just be sure the security cameras are aimed the other way.…New on tomorrow’s menu: McRatburgers!

I would be happy if their commercials had fat people and stop showing happy fit people that I’ve never seen when I go inside to get my sad meal.

How about Mc Sponsible for every known disease linked to eating over processed foods. Or Mc Eat-Ur-Heart-Out…literally. Oh I know, how about Mc Death.

Personally, “Satch” makes me think of Satchel from “Get Fuzzy”. Come to think of it, some new crossovers of those two strips would be interesting …

Saturated fat is good! Let’s get current with the research Pastis.

You people having a conversation about saturatad fat and salads and veins, pleaes STOP RIGHT NOW. This is a comic strip, if you can’t be sarcastic or funny, what’s the point?
