A rat is a rat is a rat………

This is a microcosm of society, right here in the Comics.

Must be in a Brooklyn test lab.

As you can see, diction is a clear indicator of social class and perceived intelligence.

I see Bleeb hangs out with the smart crowd.

The rats in group two are scheduled for neurostimulation this afternoon. Helloooooo…. West Coast! What’s shaken? ( sorry )

The hierarchy of rat culture is quite stratified. If you have food you are rich. If you can keep your food you’re the king. If you can steal food, you will survive.

Lab rate with tenure.

Hey, you think being a lab rat makes us entitled, it’s not all peaches and cream.

I notice that there are no females in the lab group. Nerds? Dweebs?

Better street rats than lab rats, I suppose

But, they’re all addicts.

Be careful, they might have Super Rat Strength.
