The world is full of rats.
In fiction, rats take many different forms. They can be portrayed more or less realistically, like Templeton from the classic children's book
Charlotte's Web:
|
Who are you calling center square, duckie? |
Or they can be extremely stylized, as in the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine":
 |
My hero |
Recently, the "Dick Tracy" comic has guest-starred some of the more interesting rats I've seen (and by "interesting," I mean "drawn as if the artist had never actually seen one but had heard them described by someone with a debilitating rodent phobia):
 |
Sweet dreams. |
In real life, rats all look pretty much alike:
 |
Some have Afros |
 |
Some need corrective lenses |
 |
Some are a disgrace to rathood |
 |
Some, despite stylish headgear, call to mind... |
 |
...rats of a different time. |
Charlie Sheen is
not a rat. I'm not sure what he is.
