Nothing Rhymes With Rats

We’re also on Instagram @NRWR_COMIC, where you can view all the rats comic strips we’ve put out to date. Currently working on our second book too. Exciting times!

I’ve been working with Ramsey Janini to make a comic strip called Nothing Rhymes With Rats. It’s about two rats as they navigate life. Everything from the domestic to the cosmic and spiritual (spoiler: these all overlap in significant ways!)

Early in the strip’s history, their environment was a cage, but both Ramsey and I wanted to put something out into the world that was more optimistic. Optimism can be a weapon, and it seemed a much better approach for us in the way we dealt with the circumstances of our own lives. Faced with some difficult moments, cynical snark seemed less satisfying….

We hope you enjoy our rats stories. And if you like them enough, perhaps you’d like a rats book or shirt from my shop. The book is 140-ish pages long and includes a supplementary section with our sketches, comments, insights, etc. Pics of the book below. We ship worldwide.
