I think the story would have been much better.<br /><br />I can imagine the Godzilla-sized rat swimming the Atlantic Ocean, headed for Switzerland and their famous cheese.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-36893344940993606162018-04-21T07:27:08.462-07:002018-04-21T07:27:08.462-07:00Daniel, it's inspired, all right.

Just not the type of inspired and inspiring you were imagining.<br /><br />My son had a pet rat at one time, then he left home and left the rat with us, his parents. I was happy that rats had a short lifespan and my personal aversion to that critter ended when I found him in his cage, lying still, with little X's over his eyes.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-78413558062931575752018-04-18T09:28:34.603-07:002018-04-18T09:28:34.603-07:00Well that was grisly!

The panels where the rats attacked the small town were right out of a good horror story!<br /><br />I don't have a big problem with Chese (so both mice and bats are in on it!) just how convenient it is.<br /><br />I have to say, I don't think this is turkey day material. Sure, it's silly as all get out but they do manage to get a lot of mileage out of the rat menace, and there's cool military hardware drawings. And another 15 pages to come!<br /><br />I hope there's a giant rat boss at the end, Godzilla sized!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-71268896293265930562018-04-18T00:25:29.781-07:002018-04-18T00:25:29.781-07:00Memory may fail me, and my copy of Steranko's ...Memory may fail me, and my copy of Steranko's <i>History of Comics</i> is in a box that I don't want to try to find and open; but I believe that he praised this story. So, when I first encountered it somewhere, I was expecting something … rather more inspired and inspiring. <br /><br />For what very little it's worth, rats naturally prey upon mice, and mice instinctively fear the odor of rats.
