    Goat, grab that sign and hit Rat with it until he’s had his fill of violence.

    People complain about sex and violence in popular entertainment. My solution: more sex, so no one notices the violence.

    Here’s my solution: Don’t watch the violent, sex-filled films!

    Shouldn’t his sign say, “MORE”?

    I remember when Death Wish first hit the theaters. Shrinks were horrified that people were cheering. They couldn’t understand how someone cheered a slime bag crook being mistreated. Who are the nuts?

    They should make Rat a stunt double for some of those violent movies. Then we’ll see if he has the same opinion.

    Shows like Starsky & Hutch and Man From U.N.C.L.E (RIP Robert Vaughn) suffered when the violence was toned down.

    Sounds like the mentality of the presidential election protesters since Trump was elected.

    Not a big fan of violence myself but examples of domestic violence (IN CARTOONS) is funny.

    Rat is not the best poster-communicator, that’s for sure. But I like his spunk. Such projected violence!

    Do the Comics Censor Guy and the Comics Police Guy accept Rat’s violence in the strip (other than against Cartoon-Boy, which everybody approves and even applauds)?…

    Now that I have thought more about it the word “UNACCEPTABLE” on the sign would probably have worked better for the joke. It is ambiguous enough to apply to both. From Goat’s view the amount of violence (too much) is unacceptable. From Rat’s view the amount of violence (too little) is unacceptable.
