More All Star Superman-inspired Zoë art. Dr. Quintum and his assistant, Agatha:
The thing that really impressed me is that Zoë drew the following without consulting the comic. She remembered what they looked like from the day before.
The only thing she really got wrong is that Quintum doesn't have a tie. Plus there's no mouse. But there is a mouse in our house. We were trying to see where he got in and then, damn! how did we fail to notice that our kitchen floor was actually built with a little cartoon Jerry the mouse house. So Zoë made a little sign.

For "really" read "realize"

Yeah that was my thought too. A little "mice home" placard above a hole stuffed with steel-wool = less cute.
Sylvia wants to know why it is not "mouse home" which she finds more grammatical.

Well, which sort of thing would you want to live in: a person house or a people house. A people house, right?

Excuse me, 'people home'.

people house
One of Seuss' lesser works. (BTW can I get some agreement here perhaps that 10 Apples Up on Top is an overlooked masterpiece, on a level with his very best later work? Or maybe I should be raising the issue over at KidLit.)

Modesto, that's funny. I've never read "People House" before. I didn't know it existed, although I've certainly read a lot of Seuss. What a coincidence.

Looking at a chronological list of Seuss' work, I see that "later work" was a red herring -- I had assumed that "LeSieg" was his pen name from before he came up with "Seuss", but that's wrong.

That is the best thing ever. Are you going to get yourselves a gray and white Tom cat?

Nice mouse hole. Looks like it was designed by a good cartoonist! Great writing, Zoe

You and Zoe have made PK's day. Mice!
