Now I really want a webcomic in the style of “Yes, Minister” and “The Office,” covering the day-to-day interactions of an ensemble cast of rodent bureaucrats working to support the policies of the Rodent Planning Council.

Also, meetings between the two-legged and four-legged partners. I believe Mr. Orwell covered something similar once.

But then, there’s a photo literally titled «Eleanor Sadler, a sergeant with the San Francisco Animal Care and Control, greets a group of rats in San Francisco» https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/See-where-S-F-ranks-among-the-most-rat-infested-16562859.php

Jokes aside, I seem to recall seeing a thought-provoking post about the Christian questions that strongly influenced Charles Darwin somewhere on this site, but my web searches have not revealed it. The gist was that there was a single Christian thinker who asked important questions that Darwin addressed, much to the detriment of Darwin’s lingering Christian tendencies.

I checked the worst wiki, but they seem to suggest that many Christian thinkers strongly influenced Darwin:
