True story…there really is such an animal called a carpet python. I assumed it’s because they’re as big as a rolled up carpet but I could be wrong. Maybe they like to snuggle under carpets. “You’ll get well, Ben. I’ll get well. We’ll get well, Ben! No guy’s gonna hurt my friends. No sir! …you’re [...]
“Bennnnnn the two of us need look no moooooooore…” That would be me singing off key. How great was the movie WILLARD (original) and how hideously awful was the sequel BEN? The rats went from bad in the first movie to good in the second. That’s like making a sequel to THEM where the giant [...]
One thing I noticed about my cats is that they seem to be mean. They catch a mouse, and they don’t just want to eat it, they have to torment it. They are among the few animals that like to dilly dally for the sake of entertainment. I think this is why we project a [...]
Look! It’s the famous Mr. Black! And there’s that dog guy again. I didn’t know if you guys caught it yet, but Caleb is Hebrew for “dog”. This page used a lot of black ink, which means I had a lot of fun sloshing that sumi ink around.
Fashion don’t! Guys, this is a little advice from your uncle Doug. When you’re trying to get your girl to marry you, don’t be turning into a rat creature during dinner.

And we’ve been ‘on the air’ for a month and the beef is finally about to hit the fan. Thank you all for giving Ratfist a shot over this last month! This has been a real trial to keep up with this schedule. It’s particularly hard on the colorist Katherine Garner, because she cares a [...]
Look at Milt in panels 3 and 4. Specifically, look at his ears. Yeah, they float off his head. That’s been the number one question so far about Ratfist is his floating ear. It’s not a big deal, it’s just the way I draw mouse ears. I’m not sure where I picked that one up [...]
Asking my beloved wife of 20 years was one of the most tense, scary moments of my life. Little did I know, but a lifetime of happiness, our four children, my entire career enabled by the support of my wife was hanging in the balance of that moment. But Ricky’s engagement experience is a living [...]
I love cheese. I don’t like making all of my comics autobiographic but there are details I can’t deny mimic real life. For cheese being rotten milk, it shouldn’t taste as good as it does. Recently I’ve grown to love even stinky cheeses like blue cheese. I cook it in my eggs, put it on [...]
