Ratfist is a webcomic by Doug TenNapel, about a superhero who begins to find his name a little more appropriate than he would like.The comic starts with the eponymous superhero going on "one last mission" with his sidekick Milt, who is an actual rat. He investigates a lab, wherein he finds a Tiki key that he's sure is important. Also, a rat bites him and disappears into his hand. One short altercation with a (literally) dog-faced security guard later, he absconds with the key and rushes off to his dinner date with his girlfriend Gina, to whom he plans to propose.The dinner does not go as planned. He undergoes a physical transformation into a human/rat hybrid, which is very unfortunate considering Gina is deathly afraid of rats. He shoves a menu in her face and spills wine on her blouse, then leaves without a trace.Thus is the origin of Ratfist.The comic is professionally drawn, and the creator's trademark oddball humor is in full force. It ended at 150 strips on August 5, 2011. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Ratfist (Webcomic) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: The Space Tiki gets Ratfist out of a bad situation by swapping places with Ratfist's "pagan creator". Ratfist and the Tiki vanish, and a tall cartoonist appears in their place... Later it turns out Mr. Black ended up with the pages TenNapel made after the switcheroo was reversed, which contain the entire story up until the point where he explains where he got the pages. | |

Ironic Echo: "I love you more than me." The first time Ricky says it, it showcases what an oblivious narcissist he is. The second time he says it, it showcases just how much his character has developed right before his Heroic Sacrifice. | |

Author Tract | |
| Ratfist (Webcomic) / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: A space-time warp causes Ratfist to end up in Doug Tennapel's home. This leads to Ratfist and Doug's daughter getting into a minor argument over religion. Considering the little girl gets the better argument, it could either be seen as Doug taking a shot at atheism or mocking the idea of an atheist starring in a fantasy comic. The Fairness Council is a tyrannical, oppressive leftist organization. Doug TenNapel is Republican. Make of that what you will. | |

Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Ratfist himself is a bit of one, but he doesn't compare to Senator Ferrar, who wears a tutu over his suit. In later strips though, Ratfist's severed tail is the biggest CCL of them all. | |

Take That! | |
| Ratfist (Webcomic) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Ratfist punches a trio of furries on his way back to his apartment, including one in a Sonic the Hedgehog-esque costume... When the mask on one of the costumes comes off, it reveals a balding middle-aged man underneath. In the midst of a horribly dystopic future, Ratfist complains that "L.A. is even more of a dump now!" (And in his commentary for the page, TenNapel calls Los Angeles a "jerk magnet.") | |
