October 22: RAT-urday Rats on Film with Todd and Tarzan
So I cheated a little on the #Drawlloween prompt and changed it to RAT-urday from Bat-urday. I do love bats – chiroptera is a fabulous order of animal and deserves all the love we can bestow upon it – but my own “CineRats” begged to be allowed to do their own comic for #Drawlloween and I can’t say no to those whiskery faces and sad beady eyes. Todd and Tarzan decided to tackle the trifecta of rat horror films where the rats get to be main characters instead of just background extras: Willard (the original and the remake) and Ben. I appreciate their unique perspective on the films. And then Bevan wanted to “help” so he just sort of barged in to the center of the comic and did his thing for the holiday. Sorry about that, guys.

Oh, and Bevan. He doesn’t actually like being dressed up in real life. But in his mind, he IS the night!
I fell in love with rats when I first saw Willard…then Ben sealled the deal for me…
I was always a Willard fan! The 1971 version. Ben was definitely one of the most talented rat actors of all time, in my honest opinion. I still have the original Willard movie, in classic VHS!
