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.
