hm... perhaps you can use nh to burn ISO's?

Start->Run cmd
CD /D D:nethack-3.4.3binary
COPY C:TEMPinteresting.ISO .
REN inter*.ISO login-ISO.NetHack.saved.game
NetHack.exe -u ISO

'Version mismatch for file
"D:nethack-3.4.3binary63894-ISO.NetHack-saved-game".--More--'

Hm... Would have expected a 'The dungeons collapse around you!'
Instead I got a new character.
But seems you can't use NetHack for burning ISO's. Sorry.

It's the same room as the previous cartoon; perhaps the joke has something to do with the tuxedo? Doesn't help me understand it, I'm afraid...

I think "wererat" is suggestive of "warezrat", who would certainly know all about burning cd images.

I thought "leech" the moment I saw the wererat. But that would probably be more like a giant eelThe behaviour of eels in fresh water extends the air of
mystery surrounding them. They move freely into muddy, silty
bottoms of lakes, lying buried in the daylight hours in summer.
[...] Eels are voracious carnivores, feeding mainly at
night and consuming a wide variety of fishes and invertebrate
creatures. Contrary to earlier thinking, eels seek living
rather than dead creatures and are not habitual eaters of
carrion.

Or maybe because his charisma is so high the wereIn 1573, the Parliament of Dole published a decree, permitting
the inhabitants of the Franche-Comte to pursue and kill a
were-wolf or loup-garou, which infested that province,
"notwithstanding the existing laws concerning the chase."
The people were empowered to "assemble with javelins,
halberds, pikes, arquebuses and clubs, to hunt and pursue the
said were-wolf in all places where they could find it, and to
take, burn, and kill it, without incurring any fine or other
penalty." The hunt seems to have been successful, if we may
judge from the fact that the same tribunal in the following
year condemned to be burned a man named Giles Garnier, who
ran on all fours in the forest and fields and devoured little
children, "even on Friday." The poor lycanthrope, it appears,
had as slight respect for ecclesiastical feasts as the French
pig, which was not restrained by any feeling of piety from
eating infants on a fast day.

ratRats are long-tailed rodents. They are aggressive,
omnivorous, and adaptable, often carrying diseases.

"The rat," said O'Brien, still addressing his invisible
audience, "although a rodent, is carnivorous. You are aware
of that. You will have heard of the things that happen in
the poor quarters of this town. In some streets a woman dare
not leave her baby alone in the house, even for five minutes.
The rats are certain to attack it. Within quite a small time
they will strip it to the bones. They also attack sick or
dying people. They show astonishing intelligence in knowing
when a human being is helpless."

, now in humanThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the
earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but
occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit
mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often
resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of
using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the
Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.
