    Kinda pushing it there, but I’ll give them a pass since they’re technically not doing the thing that I complained about. I mean, they’re talking about cinnamon not technically doing it so it’s technically clever.

    Uh, Sergio… Artie is kind of a harbinger of doom. Everything he does with the very best of intentions backfires to enormous levels.

    But hey, at least he recycles!

      Attempting to do good but having it foiled by evil forces doesn’t make you evil.

      Artie does a lot of good when he’s not being actively thwarted by the machinations of villains and imbeciles. He finds plenty of success in many of his endeavors, like being a teacher. His problem is that trouble has a way of finding him – but that’s trouble’s fault, not his.

        You don’t need to make excuses for him. And nobody actually said he was evil.

        With his IQ, combined with his stochastic abilities, he should be able to easily foresee the trouble his actions will cause. But he doesn’t think ahead when it comes to his own actions.

        I mean really… just as an example: it doesn’t even take a genius to figure out that a bunch of hamsters wearing a trenchcoat and a paper plate are up to no good. And yet Artie simply handed them a million dollars.

        Whether he does these things with malicious aforethought or just out of his own negligence, the outcome is the same. And that basically is being a harbinger of doom. Sergio just hasn’t been around him long enough to realize it.

          What? How can anyone NOT trust a bunch of hamsters in a trenchcoat and a paper plate?

          Is it fair to consider things from so far in his past that they’re in a separate webcomic entirely? How about something more recent? People learn from their mistakes, ya know.

          Seriously, Artie is beating himself up about “leading Anasigma to the rats”, ignoring the facts that A) he had no idea the rats were there and couldn’t have possibly predicted they would be, B) Valiant willingly led him to the colony fully aware that Anasigma was after him, and C) Anasigma would have found the rats one way or another anyway.

          He’s just got a self blame disorder going on, that’s all.

            Maybe that is all it is.

            Then again, maybe he just really hasn’t changed all that much in the last 15 years.

    Cinnamon, that’s not how you make microbrew. You must be thinking of Pabst.

      I thought that involved squeezing … and horses?

    Hey! What are they doing, letting a human child have beer? Do they need their RSAs revoked?

    Do they still think Cinnamon is a badly-dressed human child?

      Depending on the alcohol content, they may not know and may not care.

        They’re rats. I’m leaning toward the “not care” side of that.

        Side thought: if the rats get drunk enough, will they suddenly realize that Cinnamon is really a cat?

          If they do they’ll get knurd real fast.

    Don’t criticize. Beer makes you smart. After all, it made Bud wiser.

          Poor Cinnamon, Chimay never know how smart she’ll become, Floreffes Anasigma destroys the Rat and Rochefort, the trapist closing in.

          OK, I admit I don’t know how well these puns can translate because you know, accents and all. So if you need the solution, Amstel me.

    Did my cat IRL get that mouse to swim in his beer last night? The feline certainly ate the rodent with enthusiasm.

    Question for long-time readers: does Artie make a habit of making things All About Him (or trying to)?

      Yes.
