Wiley… I love all your types of cartooning (is that a word?) and have for MANY years. You are my favorite of all times and I’m 75 so I’ve seen a few. wry grin My very favorites are the weekly continuing comic series. You always “Make my day.” Keep on drawing, my friend.
@WILLEY, Why do you keep drawing The heavenly arches porter as an old man? Don’t we mortals get to have a more. . . . , um, “Angelical” version of it ? I don’t know maybe some “Victoria Secret angel’s”™ parade or sumti’n simile? (asking for a friend !)

Good heavens (no pun intended), it’s the Death of Rats! Somewhere, Pterry is so proud.

I hope Wiley gives an explanation. I can think of many but the one I think it means is that ALL, large or small, have a chance to get into Heaven

They are all God’s creatures. I think the word used in the Bible is “dominion” not “domination.”
We are given this little patch of creation called Earth. We should be using it wisely.

“But Mousie, thou are no thy-lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men,
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!
.
Still, thou art blest, compar’d wi’ me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But Och! I backward cast my e’e,
On prospects drear!
An’ forward, tho’ I canna see,
I guess an’ fear!”
.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
He made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate.

This makes sense. According to Terry Pratchett, there’s a death of rats. Why not an angel of rats?
