Is this the first time we've seen the killer whale since he was blown
up by the anemones' meatloaf?
(Of how many other strips could you ask *that* question?)

Yes, assuming that it's the same killer whale (who as far as I can recall
was not a friend of rat's).

That's my thought too; this is likely another orca that just happens
to look like the first one we were introduced to . . .

Well, you know what they say- An enema of my anemones is a frond of
mime. (At lest, I think Pastis said that...)

No, that was me. Waaaaay back when Compuserve was the biggest online
forum in the world (!) I was interested in raytracing (I think I've told
this story before), so I hung out on the siggraph forum. SIG.
whatever. Anyhow, folks were always experimenting with new techniques
and one guy created a terrific beach scene complete with fairly realistic
palm trees - I mean, you can only do so much using mathematical
expressions to describe the shape of an object, but those palm leaves
were truly a thing of beauty.
He posted the results of his 2-day rendering process and invited
suggestions... in particular, he wondered if he should have included more
sea creatures. In my entire life I have never had, and probably will
never again have, such a perfect straight line for the response that
followed:
With fronds like these, who needs anemones?

I'm pretty sure he attended a party at Rat & Pig's house and Rat
seated him at a table with the sea lion. (I must try to get out more.)
Now I'm hoping for the return of Alphonse the Needy Porcupine and
Chuckie the Non-Anthropomorphic Sheep!

It's more than a little hypocritical for Rat to complain, considering he
*coined" the word "undied".

I'm a bit surprised Rat admits the strip to have hundreds of
concerned readers. I thought it was traditional for comic strips that
acknowledge their readers directly to claim they have dozens of fans
instead.

What's really brilliant about this is, given newspaper lead time, Pastis
*knew in advance* there would be an outcry and he had already
acknowledged that inconsistency (and the resulting reader response) when
he originally wrote the strips.
