The human is just like Karl Marx. OK, maybe I'm obsessed, but there is a semblance. And that paranoid discourse from the first two panels is evidence. He is Karl, there's no doubt!

There are unpublished papers by Marx. Maybe he did have a rodent friend he consulted with, and that important fact is explained in those papers and letters and notes. I imagine the rat explained that family is important and he should take care of his human pups. But Karl complained that was the old Popist way of doing things, and he fundamentally disagreed, and the State should feed his prole after the revolution. That poor rat, if he existed, must have suffered terrible rants from the most influential political philosopher of all time. Communism is animal abuse and it should be banned.

I like the silence you get when you pick weeds in the back yard. It's like clearing out a space for the new. Yeah, new weeds. That's it.

It was Pinky (on orders from The Brain) that leaked the secret. The dirty mice!

The Surveillance State is real, Rat, even in your own home!
