Fatrat Fatrat was the first cartoon that I ever created.I admit,i've made up many characters before,but the others just didn't stay with me long.

It all started in my grade 7 class.Somehow,the subject on the black plague was brought up in the middle of Social studies.

That day,I was desperate to finish a science project that was slightly overdue.As a random idea in the middle of the class discussion,I began to doodle a picture of a very fat mouse.Boredom also played a huge factor as I gave the mouse a cape and a mask and huge boots.I named him fat mouse and showed my friends who suggested I name him Fatrat.Thus,Fat rat was born. I used him in that science project by writing it in comic book form,and he became a class hit and my trademark. I've been drawing him ever since.

Unfortunatly,that first science comic was lost in a move in February,but on a positive note,I found another comic that I used for a science project in my first year of grade 8 (1999-2000).The scanner wasn't very friendly(it looks terrible...),and it was originally written in french,so I had to translate it.
