Rat: Yo, Zeeba, what happened to your son, 'Plaid'? Zebra: Turns out he wasn't my son. I guess there are a lot of potential zebra dads with stripes like mine, and my ex-girlfriend just picked the wrong one. Rat: Sounds to me like some weasel cartoonist didn't know where to go with the character, so he just wimped out by coming up with that stupid explanation in panel one. Pastis: That's very inappropriate. Rat: The weasel speaks. Pastis: HEY! You try coming up with 365 ideas a year!!
I guess the stress of trying to come up with 365 (or 366) ideas per year has caused cartoon-Pastis to lose weight. He definitely looks thinner; kinda pasty and drawn….I do hope Plaid can be revived from time to time, just to persecute the crocs and give them some of their own medicine.
