Rubes by Leigh Rubin for April 24, 2024

Many rats died then, I believe.

Not enough, apparently!!!

That was when the Pope outlawed witchcraft and included the killing of cats being their familiars.

You have been plagued by bad press ever since then.

The number one invasive species???…..the common household cat!

The Bubonic Plague occurred in Europe in the 14th CENTURY, not the 1400’s.

They’re even more successful now, and we’re just realizing how successful they are.

Displacing cockroaches? I think NOT!

Aren’t humans the most successful invasive species?

Students avoid this course like the plague.

if they just hadn’t carried those darn fleas with them

The end of the age was brought on by the development of pipers.

The current era of rat civilization is Subway Pizza.

We’re all descended from mutant rats. Some of us got off the evolution train too early.

As Charlie Brown might put it: “Rats!”
