Spacing With The Mouse (One Of 'Em)

It's time for some Sunday Morning Funnies, so let's join Space Mouse again.

This morning we've got a trio of tales featuring a delightfully odd mix of science fiction in faerie tale realms. That tickles one of the right parts of my ol' broken brain.

As obvious from the top image, Space Mouse had his own title for a brief period, but today's tales are back-up stories from Peter Rabbit and Funny Tunes. He popped up in several titles beyond his own.
 
The big question:
If this is Space Mouse...

...then who's this guy...?
 

I guess we'll have to come back this way again, eh?

SM Adventures

Some may recall that when we saw Super Pup not too long ago, i made these remarks:

Oddly enough, we came to Super Pup looking for the other side of the Cat.
In theory, we'll get there soon...

This is the guy we were talking about -

Of course, it was no surprise to find the Mouse in the Pup's book - they're both drawn by Frank Carin. Space Mouse actually got his own title the previous year. It was the '50s, so i'll comment on the ginchy use of Electronic Eyes in this one...

Actually, eyes seemed to be something of a subtle theme in this issue...
 

But i have no answer.

Maybe we'll find one when we return with more mouse, and more mice...
