Thanks to Synthia for giving me the idea!

A very fun (and funny) puzzle.

I always thought it was only Sammy,Dean,and Frank that made up the rat pack. Good one Dave.:)

I Looooooooved this one! My only bone to pick is both Lawford and Bishop were big smokers, but I can't think of anything you could do that would define them any better than you did. Thanks for the wonderful time I had solving this one, Dave!

That was fun!

Cute! It would have been funny if the black rat wore an eyepatch, but I guess that would've been needless clutter.

Thanks everyone!

JoDeen, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. I think they probably all smoked but I kind of recall almost always seeing Lawford and Dino with cigarettes. I wanted to make each rat different. Sammy was, I admit, a no-brainer and since he and Bishop were the smallest of the pack, I made them slightly smaller. I did put a cigarette in Lawford's mouth (you have to use your imagination a bit) and was going to put one in Dino's mouth as well. Believe it or not, I intended this to be a B&W until I was trying to figure out how to personalize Frankie. Making his eyes blue was an epiphany. After that, I added a lit ember to Peter's cigarette and gave Dino a red nose.

Kristen - You have my blessing to blackout Sammy's left eye if you wish. http://bellybuzz.squarespace.com/storage/post-images/may-2012/eyepatches/sammydavisjr.jpeg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1337574552483 It's hard to find an image with him wearing his eye patch since he wore it less than a year after losing his eye due to a car crash in 1954.

Oceans 11 coming right up.

Cool baby, real cool.

It's true, you may have already included his glass eye. It's difficult to tell at this resolution.

You guessed it Kristen. I decided to go with his first temporary one before getting his better fitting and more natural looking replacement. You're right, it's difficult to pick that out at this rez. :D

I feel very honored to be the inspiration for such a cool puzzle.

Thank you Synthia.
