year of the rats

This is the year of the rats!

The two fellows in the picture are my youngest rats, the brothers Silver (light grey) and Flint (the darker one). When my brother saw the pic, he thought the rats had written down the text on that piece of paper and pinned it. I did not want them to do that... but somehow... In his opinion the rat was erasing something in panel 1. I originally wanted it to gnaw at the pencil... and so on. The only strange thing is that the rat is able to write red letters with an ordinary pencil.
