Rat Tangent

Rat Tangent is a furry webcomic by "Mark", which ran between February 8, 2007, and February 10, 2011. It was originally titled Lab Rats, but was changed after the author came to realize that the phrase was "a bit overused".

Plot
Rat Tangent explores the lives of three lab rats.

Main characters
The main characters of Rat Tangent are the three rats:
 * Dalton, the dreamer. He is an idealist and a little naive. Some may call him lazy, but he would prefer "contemplative".
 * Tesla, the curmudgeon. He is bitter over his working in cosmetic research.
 * Kepler, the thinker. Kepler is a fountain of knowledge, though he is more book-smart than street-smart.

Other characters
Minor recurring characters in the comic include:
 * Edison, the genius. Edison is Tesla’s recently discovered son and a constant source of aggravation.
 * Cal, the fighting calorimeter. The mascot of Berthelot College, he reluctantly joined the cast because there is little else that a piece of scientific equipment can do.
