Oh, it was a videogame-reference. I thought we were about to embark on a Ratkin Ninja storyline.

"Just a Rat"

- Start date
I notice the lack of a tail on that rat, it perhaps explains why when I get sent to brign back 10 tails some rats are missing them, I could never visualize the reason for it before now. >
Heh

◘Now you have to make your comic funny. And reading most existing webcomics, one could be forgiven for thinking that humour is entirely optional, but believe it or not, there are people who laugh at that stuff, even if it's just the author's mum. Fortunately, the advantage of running a gaming webcomic is that gaming humour is incredibly easy. All you have to do is apply video game logic to the real world for comic effect. For example, in say, Gears of War, you have to push the analogue stick to move forward, when in real life you have to continually put one foot in front of the other. This might not sound like "A" material, but trust me, phrase this right, and there's a fortune to be made in Cafepress shirts◘

I kinda feared another Grey-doesn't-write-so-Cory-gets-to-draw-rats strip ... Not that Cory's massive rat porn ain't awesome, but ... it's a little too soon for Grey to fail us like that again.Realitycrash said:
I think so too, but there's also a passing resemblance to the Rodents of Unusual Size in Fallout 3.Kopikatsu said:
I kinda liked that storyline. And I still hope for a rat-ninja one. But the average videogame-references is at least above the usual in humor when it comes to webcomics.FEichinger said:
Mirror's Edge at least attempted to reference this.
