I really hope that this was supposed to make me chuckle because it did. Do you illustrate for a publication? If not, you should. This is truly a funny piece of art. Thank you so much for sharing it.

Comment from Kbanich


Great! I like the story behind this one. These two are certainly plotting there next adventure. The primary colors create the stage for whimsical fun as these rats (mice) determine a strategy. The subjects are all well created to scale with in the depth of field. The details - picture frame(s), lamps and alarm clock add to the interest. Great work - Kathy

Love this art even though I am afraid of mice. The ideal is really scary. This was brilliant to think of how a mouse would really take a thought process as far as this. And the cat sleeping thru the whole thing, wow. Think about her waking up right now,(nooooo). The bright colors in this art are so good. Great job.

Ha Ha. There would never be an unopened pack of Oreos in my bed. The colors are bright and complement each other very nicely. I like how you only have a fraction of the picture, the lamp, and bed,it is almost how a camera would have gotten this close up shot of the mice. Very nice.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


A great picture of the mice in conversation over the Oreo's tucked under the Lady's arm in bed while the Cat & the Lady are sleeping but for how long if the rodent's plane is carried out? Created with an artist vivid imagination & skilful draftsmanship, beautiful choice & blending of your colours.(only thing is the mice look more like Rats, than mice, being larger than the Cat?)

    It's a great picture anyway & I had a Laugh...as I remember as a teenager looking in on my mother in bed to see her sleeping peacefull a book over her face & on her beside table a slice of bread & honey, being enjoyed by two farm house mice. Our House was in the Doomsday Book so the Rodents knoew all the nooks & crannys to hide in when the Cat Appeared!

i live by a canal and have a terrible rat problem. you can never defeat them so best try and accept these as god's creatures. the picture is very funny and also a great colour aspect added into the mix.

Hi Mark,
All I can say is I like your new series of Strange Critters and the different players so far.The colors in this one really draws you in and your notes or should I say "short story" is a great addition.These just aren't plain rats,I'm going to dub them the "Rummaging Rats" Very cool Mark.I look forward to the next one~

    Hey Mark,
    I did read that in your notes and I would check it out but she has me muted.So...no can do!!
Comment from lannyroff


Sorry MK. The humor is fine, but I find the art to be too flat, the colors are good and even though it's a cartoon, there should be some shadows some where.
