HITC Life is pleased to present the debut of Rako & the Rat. Rako works in banking, and the Rat is, well, a rat. But not exactly your every day rat...

To get the full story, press on the magnifying glass at the top corner of the image to the right.

So who is Rako?

Rako is a Desk Assistant from Banglapore in a Top Tier Investment bank, whose employment has allowed HR to tick another box at their 'culture and diversity' program. He has become the traders' chief gimp and works more than 14 hours every day. He never complains for fear of losing his job, and as a result, his Visa Sponsorship. He confides only to the Rat, who visits him in the evening after the office has emptied.

And who is the Rat?

The Rat has got an interest in the Markets and knows all of the movers & shakers in the industry. Rumour has it that he's pulling the strings of the global economy and circulating sensitive information gathered from sneaking behind closed door meetings. Either that or he's after the leftover pizza.

Here Is The Writer : The Count

When the Count was little his ambition was to become a film director, a circus performer or MacGyver. He now works in Canary Wharf and believes that this is due to a glitch in the Matrix. The Count met Rako when they were working together in the City. He felt Rako should be recognised for his hard work and made him a cartoon hero. Other than cartoons, the Count has a soft spot for belly dancing and Greek yoghurt.
