Soup the Comic Strip by Alun Clewe
Comic strip for September 22 2023.
PANEL ONE: The champion rides on the back of the rat. CHAMPION: Great. I've got a rat for a steed. A rat. A giant rat. PANEL TWO: Close on the champion. CHAMPION: A talking giant rat. PANEL THREE: The rat lifts its head up to address the champion. RAT: Oh, yeah, a hero of your stature deserves _at least_ a mighty stallion, better still something with wings, and fiery breath, and that shoots magical light rays out of its eyes... PANEL FOUR: Wide view of the champion riding the rat. CHAMPION: A _sarcastic_ giant talking rat. RAT: A sarcastic talking giant rat that's about to toss you down and take a big bite outta your hiney.
