"Like A Rat" is in our book Black & White World II and was originally posted on Dec. 14, 2003 on the occasion of Saddam's capture. The cartoon and its title were directly inspired by a comment from Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno, commander of the 4th Infantry Division which hunted Saddam, who said: "He was just caught like a rat."
The 9" x 6.5" ink illustration is on a 11" x 7" acid-free bristol board (the black border is not part of the illustration). John and I have signed the front in pencil. Written on the left edge of the cartoon in ink is "Tales From The Crypt," a title idea by John.

I bid $US 250.00 + (not part of the bid) $50 US to Soldier's Angels in Your Name.. Cool Pic :)
I'll up the bid to $300. No extra though because I've already given to Soldier's Angels this year ... does that count?
