1. Yeah, me either.

2. Ratcatcher?

Otis Flannegan?

[unblock]

3. That was my thought as "flannegan" is an unusual variant of that name

There's probably a comic or elsewhere ratcatcher appears where he gets cursed and this is a reference to that.

Google thus far has failed me....

6. Seems plausible alright

It looks like perhaps the Ratcatcher caught & cooked a rat for dinner and the other guy isn't happy about it.

4. I think the point is that they are already in hell. n/t

7. Even a stable super genius like me is mystified. nt

8. The one guy finally summoned up the guts to say what's been on his mind for a long time.

9. I take it that, although they're roughing it, they're really prim and proper. Maybe not a gutbuster?

10. +1

That's where I'm going.
