It's a tricky thing- it would be pretty hilarious if Hamm had everything he needed to solve any given problem hidden in his mouth, but then, Hamm seems to be more of a Only Sane Man type of guy while Beauregard is the Wise Guy of the duo (and a Cloud Cuckoo Lander to boot.)

I suppose it rather depends what you want to do with the character- if Hamm is going to play Straight Man the entire time, I'd stay away from it, but if his partnership with Beau loosens him up then maybe it would be appropriate. In any event, it's too good a gag to waste, so if Hamm doesn't keep it I hope some other hamster picks it up.

Hehe, I love tropes!

It's a good point - I don't see why another hamster wouldn't do it, even if Hamm doesn't.  Although, I see Hamm as a kind of boy scout, pretty ready for any situation, but I suppose it doesn't have to be like Batman's belt.

Also I don't even see why Hamm would even have a gun... The comic has yet to even prove Hamm is a detective who would even need a gun.

Heck I always pictured Hamm's "Unusually quiet church bell" case to have gone like this

Rat: "Hmm, the bell isn't ringing"
Hamm: "There is no bell in the tower"
*All the rats are in total awe until Hamm leaves the scene
Rat: "YAY!"

[Rainseeker]

Hehe!

Where's the updates?

[Rainseeker]

Yeah, sorry.  I've gotten my mind into my wife's gluten-free bakery business temporarily.  I keep meaning to update, but I'm also a little discouraged about my projects at the moment.

[monk12]

Allow me to offer encouragement- wheee Rattown! Still, gotta take care of business first, but I for one am eagerly awaiting the next installment.

[Greiger]

Yay Rattown!

Yaaaaaaaaaayyyy!

You are on the list of 6 elite comics that grace my sidebar, among such greats as xkcd, Looking For Group, Ctrl+Alt+Del and Order of the stick.   I don't know it that's encouraging or not but I hope it is!  I look forward to more! ^{_{Well more Rattown and more DFTalks too, but this isn't the right thread for that.}}

[Rainseeker]

Thanks for the encouragement, guys!  It gave me the oomph I needed to slam out my scribble scribble comic!

I'm happy with how it turned out!  Comments?

Isn't this a bit too early in the life of your comic to REALLY poke fun at your own tendencies as a comic book writer?

[Greiger]

The case of the mysterious piano!

Not why it landed on a poor unfortunate tied up actor of course, but how whoever did it got it up into the rafters.


Also I don't hear "great googly moogly!" enough in webcomics.

Also I don't hear "great googly moogly!" enough in webcomics.

Agreed. And the alt text made me laugh.

[Rainseeker]

Hehe, glad you guys like it!  The final panel's punchline had me swaying between the punchline I chose and, "The sound effects are amazing, but don't the good guys usually win in these things?"

I chose to break the fourth wall instead.

[Rainseeker]

New comic's up, trying to stay on top of it.  Comments welcome!
