Basil Jelly (basil_jelly) says: I suspect that like “The Giant Rat of Sumatra” this may be a tale for which the world is not yet ready.
David Harmon (mental_mouse) says:
Basil: Well, ready or not, here it comes!
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
OK OK OK hold it hold it hold it! I can just tell … this is going to be a guest strip for “Palindramas”!
Tip goes in to dark room. Meets rat wearing 1940’s type gangster pinstripe suit. They shake hands, introduce themselves, then realize they are both sinking into a pool of something dark and sticky.
The entire strip’s dialog: “Tip.” “Rat.” “Tarpit.”
Me for the win! Woohoo!
Indigo C (indigo) says: It may still be rats. Rat infestation is singular and plural both.
Bill McGann (odo) says: Ummm… this “mutated object of the day” stuff is getting tedious. Sorry 🙁
David Palmer (viadd) says:
Would this be a rodent of unusual size? I don’t believe they exist.
Andrew Schepler (schep) says: indigo: Yes, but “He hasn’t met the rat yet” is the kicker here.
Jane Narbon (lady_madsci) says:
“Tip. Rat. Tarpit.”
I liiiiiike it.
Basil Jelly (basil_jelly) says:
“Tip. Rat. Tarpit. tip rat.”
can be done in four frames too.
Incog Neato (ghede) says:
Tarpit, tip, rat, tarpit tip rat.
bob a Bob.
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
Tip, rat, tip, rat, tip, rat, tarpit? Tip & rat: tarpit, tarpit, tarpit.
What?
Andre Richard (andre) says: Will it top the rat invasion in Metropolis? I can now see why the Skin Horse crew probably prefer their own break room though.
Aaron Shades (prof_tinker) says:
Tar-pit, Tip, tar-pit, Rat; trap.
*bows*
And Bill McGann? For shame. Sit back and enjoy.

Hey, Mr. Andrew? Your link needs a warning label: TV Tropes will ruin your life. [Added by maarvarq – http://tvtropes.orgpmwikipmwiki.phpMainTVTropesWillRuinYourLife ]

“The BBC are very good at doing period dramas, but they aren’t very good at doing giant rats.”
Justin Grubbs (the_purple_knight) says: Um, I’m just gonna say that Tip must be really desperate to be happy for a rat infestation
Alycia Shedd (leeshajoy) says: Just one rat, eh? That can’t be a good sign.
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
Rat singular? Not rats, plural?
Uh-oh. This reminds me of the bit with the Giant Rats in Geneforge 3.

Are rats subject to the Conservation of Ninjitsu?
