    This comic is probably based on the movie which changed it so that he was adopted and an actual mouse. It somehow makes even less sense than the original story.

      I dunno, I’m not sure a boy who looks exactly like a mouse and matures twice as fast as other humans really makes a great deal more sense than a talking mouse.

        A boy who looks like a mouse is magical realism, you can assume the setting is like the real world except for this one-off magical event. A talking mouse is fantasy because now you’re in a setting where all mice can talk if you teach them how which creates a bunch of plot holes including the comic is poking fun at.
