The Rat Back on Track?, 2000-02-23
With "Sings the Blues", Harrison lost the Rat-plot, but "Goes to Hell" shows that he is, albeit unevenly, getting back on track. His bludgeoning bias that all religious belief is mere wishful thinking gets tedious, not to mention somewhat mysoginistic (the dupes are all wealthy women - read vain and gullible), besides theologically inaccurate to boot, but just as it gets dangerously annoying the plot reinvigorates and, with tongue firmly back in cheek, the Rat continues on his mission to save his psychopathic spouse in the manner we know and love. Let's hope his renewed form continues in The Stainless Steel Rat Joins the Circus.
Is The Rat starting to rust?, 2000-02-07
I've been a fan of Slippery Jim since "2000AD" first serialised in comic strip form "The Stainless Steel Rat". But this latest effort is well below par, and is in many ways a rehash of "...saves the world" with it's multiple universes and flitting backwards and forwards in pursuit of a egomaniac. The humour sadly is stretched beyond breaking point, the whole story is very formulaic. Disappointing.
