#73 – Mice Have Really Large Families…

Haha, I’ve wanted to make this joke for a while. XD We’re going to go along with FW and stick to calling her Mouse I think.

Hope everyone had a great week! Busy busy busy for me, but I’m sure I’ve repeated that more than enough, lol. Congrats everyone who’s out of school, or is graduating this quarter/semester! Be it from high school or college, its something to be proud of.

Oh! One last thing: I’m borrowing Mouse from a friend too! She’s not my character, kind of like how Damien isn’t either. So they both belong to their respective creators, I’m just using them. Though I’m so familiar with both of them, its almost like they are my characters (even though they’re not!). Just letting everyone know.

There are many things that could go on, what you just said is the stereotypical thing (let’s face it, I thought of that also…)

Then there’s the love triangle, where Bee and… umm… Dot… I’ll call her Dot (I hope you get the reference XD)… anyway, they fight over him…

I almost thought the Jimmy Neutron triangle going on, but that requires two to hate each other.

Then, there COULD be the fact that they could end up friends, nothing more! Heck, my BEST friend is a girl, and I can’t EVER see “ruining” that friendship by going any further then that.

There are so many possibilities here that I could ruin here… but I won’t

Yeah…Mouse for short works very well X3

A giant mouse with a great memory. Imagine that you have 20 siblings and all of them have a name like that XD

hell, if yea can come up with a name like THAT yea desevr prise, hehheh

Ha, love weird names like that. Was that the original creator’s name for her? I think the weirdest name I know is… It’s short, but his name is Synjin! lol Is she just gonna live in his house now? What about FW’s parents…? Questions left unanswered until Monday (thanks for the congrats!)

admin Reply:
May 29th, 2009 at 4:44 pm

Yep, that was the original creator’s name for her. I certainly didn’t think of all of that. XD

And more answers are coming! Sometime at least. Glad to see people taking an interest in the comic!

Oh my gosh! She’s naked! O_O

Hi, new Reader here. I just finished reading through the archives up to the present and just wanted to say I’ve enjoyed the fun. Keep up the good work!

Hello and welcome in that case! Always nice to hear that someone enjoys the comic, and hope you’ll stick around for more silly fun in the future!

Kinda reminds me of the name “Princess Angelina Contessa Luisa Francesca Banana Fana Bobesca the Third.”
From Animaniacs.
Except I can’t memorize the mouse’s name.

The big reveal! …oh, wait, that was last time wasn’t it? Big name, then! Such a much better name than Damien… *is totally jealous!*

admin Reply:
May 29th, 2009 at 4:47 pm

*laughs* XD What about FW? Damien’s much better than that…

Damienfox Reply:
May 29th, 2009 at 6:46 pm

Yeah, but FW stands for Forest Wolf. Two words! That’s more than Damien.

I have a quick question, what does the tag “futty” mean?

admin Reply:
May 29th, 2009 at 4:48 pm

Ah! Well, that’s my little nickname for my futon (which is depicted in the comic as FW’s, but is no longer with us. ). Its pronounced Foo-tea, futty! It was a great futon. D:

XD It’d be so sad to see her running around with little mouse traps stuck to her tail or something… XD

May 29th, 2009 at 5:41 pm

Oh no no, these are Mouse traps, traps just for her…>;3

That..Whole name I had to just kinda glaze over…maybe I’m trying to read it waaaaaaay to late at night, but….Wow. X3

Glossing over the huge name…Of COURSE it’s not weird to have a giant talking animal in another giant talking animal’s room.

admin Reply:
May 30th, 2009 at 1:10 pm

Its kind of weird if you didn’t invite them over, and they just seemed to appear there! And yeah, its a pretty long name, lol.

The mouse is awesome and cute. Didn’t guess from previous episode that it would be a female. I guess now I know. I still wonder how she got in FW’s room though. Oh, you know what else is cute? FW’s facial expression in the last panel. I love it!

By the way… I find “FW” really hard to say to be honest. Isn’t W this kind of evil letter in English that’s pronounced awkwardly as double-u? It’s easier for me to just say “Forest”.

And hey, I like the long name of the mouse, but you know what? It reminded me of something. Do you know Monty Python? There was one sketch where they say there are many famous composers like Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, but there’s one great composer the world never remembers: Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern Schplenden Schlitter Crass Cren Bon Fried Digger Dingle Dangle Dongle Dungle Burstein von Knacker Trasher Apple Banger Horowitz Ticolensic Grander Knotty Spelltinkle Grandlich Grumblemeyer Spelter Wasser Kürstlich Himble Eisenbahnwagen Gutenabend Bitte einen Nürnburger Bratwürstel Gespurten mit Zweimache Luber Hundsfut Gumberaber Schönendanker Kalbsfleisch Mittelraucher von Hauptkopft of Ulm.

im sorry; WHAT? thats name has like… *counts syllibles* 10+11+10+12+11+10+11+11+9+13=108!1!!!
there are approximitly 108 syllibes in thet name.
and also one of her(?) names is bratworstel (for those of you who dont know what bratworst is, its a tasty german (or possibly polish) sosage

Not really “her”. I believe “Johann” is a male name. And check the video to see how quickly they can actually say it.

And “Bratwurst” is not the only funny part of this name. Notice also words like “Eisenbahnwagen” which is a railway wagon or “Gutenabend” that means good evening or even “Dingle Dangle Dongle Dungle” which probably doesn’t mean much, but sounds funny.

That was part of his bet with Damien! Which starts here:

thanks for the ex. it was driving me crazy,idk how or why i missed that,lol,thats hilarious!and i love your comic i just hate how im never able to get on when your on here and for the record i voted twice(used my friend`s computer)^.^ and i hope things go swimmingly for you and for the story,i like this big twist to it

..Woah, that’s a loooooooooooooooo (five hours later) oooooooong name! Nice one!

I think she’s getting cuter after every comic, and she sure does seem like a hyper one, probably why she eats so much… even though she’s a giant mouse, she’s still small, and hyper, therefor a freakin’ vacuum when it comes to food… If you were that small and active, you’d probably be a little hungry to =P

Also, I’m finding it’s harder and harder every week to wait for this comic to update… I KNOW when it updates, but I just want to see it NOW =P, great stuff, keep it up

Is that a FEMALE mouse furry?
And if it is, i can see some YAOI in the near future…

Believe me, I’m smart.

I’m sorry if I offended you at all saying that…It’s just the way she was acting is all! It seemed to me that she was hitting on FW. And plus I WAS kinda bored too…

I just love the comic, but i wonder… do you use magic to get the plots of your comic cause its too good, so just so you know i’m on to you.

Wow, that is one exceedingly long name. Still, it’s better to use longer, slightly confusing names when you have a long family rather than a bunch of short, generic names for everyone, since the short names can get a little confusing after a while. It gets confusing when you go to a school, and a measurable 12% of the people in your class have the same first name. Especially when you have the same name as them all! I eventually became unresponsive to people shouting at me because there were so many people with the same name! And then there’s last names, when about a quarter of the school has the last name “Chin”, “Chen”, or “Chan”, attendance lists get confusing for all the teachers, especially ones from out of town: They think everyone’s related.

Long names are great, overly long names are less great, and short names are just annoying. Well, it’s official. My entire post can be summarized in one sentence, but for some reason I don’t know how to be concise.

Just by that first panel, I like her already.
