Sniff. There is no Tom Tomorrow today. No explanation anywhere. However, there's another drama a'building in the funny papers. See the entire series of 'toons in the series (thus far) — here. Dr. Google tells us that a rat gestation period is 21-23 days (and rarely to 26), Rat's "pregnancy" will last the month of August. Of course, Rat's "pregnancy" is outside the realm of normal. The latest ultrasound episode does not stay within the bounds of normalcy. If this is (fair & balanced) cartoonism, so be it.

From 1993-2002, Pastis worked as a litigation attorney in the San Francisco Bay area. At this time he also tried to fulfill his childhood ambition of becoming a syndicated cartoonist by submitting different concepts to syndication agencies. "The Infirm," "Rat," and "Bradbury Road" were rejected, but "Pearls Before Swine" was accepted by United Features in 1999. It started publication on December 31, 2001, and Pastis left his day job in August 2002. His latest collection of Pearls 'toons is Pearls Falls Fast: A Pearls Before Swine Treasury (2014).]
