I was so happy to finally see Ted Forth in <I>PBS</I> that I was completely unprepared when I opened the other paper to the funnies and saw the continuation of the scene.<BR/><BR/>I am imagining that in Earth-5474 (the <I>Sally Forth</I> dimension) Rat appears as a bald, late-meiddle-aged man with glasses and an oddly misshapen head, while in the <I>Pearls Before Swine</I> dimension Ted Forth is three and a half feet tall.D.B.
