The Rodent Ratio

Working out the proper ratio of rodents, beaver or otherwise, is a hard thing. Or maybe it’s really easy, I don’t know. I’ll admit that I’ve never actually tried.

Speaking of trying though, I have to apologzie to the few dozen commenters I haven’t been able to respond to in the last few weeks. The size and vocalness of Lead Paint’s auidence has been growing very quickly, and I confess I was totally taken off guard by how hard it is to respond to them all.

I promise, vow and swear by all the super heroes that don’t suck that Dana and I read every comment, and each one is treasured and loved as if it’s a birthday present and we’re 10 again. This comic has been blessed (somehow) which exceptionally clever, funny and thoughful fans, and it’s always a joy to read what you guys have to say to us.

We will appear and answer them when we can, but answering 20-30 comments a week just isn’t feasible for us sometimes. We apppreciate the kindness of you dropping us a line, and if it’s any consolation, if I’m not responding to comments, it usually means I’m hard at work writing new material for the site.

As always, thanks for reading,

Mike

    So, two beavers is perfect?

    • Dan Long

      Or, one and a half beavers, or two and a half, one and a third, etc., INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

      • Mike

        Nice save Dan! Totally bailing me out!

        • Dan Long

          Oh, and the less morbid, more obvious “there could be other beavers crawling on her legs off-screen,” but my brain goes to the morbid explanation by default.

          • Jbonymo

            Nah, I’ll bet it is the golden ratio. 1.618 beavers cannot go wrong.

  2. Grant

    Damn, I didn’t realize we were owed responses. Time to start taking stock.

    • Mike

      haha, well, not owed, but I do feel bad having some slip through the cracks.

  3. Billy

    I gotta say, I really want to hug a beaver now. And not in the sexual pun sort of way.

    • Grant

      And therrre it is.

      Can’t believe the innuendo angle took more than 24 hours to surface.

  4. Alex

    I was wondering the same thing before reading the comments, why are beavers always counted in integers? Maybe the perfect beaver quantity is 2.375. It’s a perfectly standard fractional number in my field of work.

    Of course this brings on the question of which eight of the beaver is best? What do you keep?

    love the expressions
