Mouseguard,

How do I love thee? May I count the ways?
I love thee to the depth and breadth of cute
Of which you are, dressed in medieval suit
Weaving epic tales of Love and Valor
Depicting mice who find their inner power.
I love your homage to the Tales of Ovid.
This issue entertains as Publius oft did.
I love thee purely, as I turn each page
full of human themes for any age.
With childlike joy, I, an adult female
Am delighted by the artist’s use
of differing fonts and styles to tell each tale
And with each color palette he didth choose.
And though one might think mouse tales could get stale,
Mouse Guard stays pure as fresh squeezed orange juice.

-Nina Stone, 2010

Did you know they make Mouse Guard toys? And plush Mouses?

Mouse Guard is awesome
I just wrote a nice haiku
To express my love

Now that you mention it, Lurker, I do recall that someone had mentioned the plush Mouse Guardians before. Do I smell a movie coming?!?

And Kenny, that was Brilliant.
I think the only way to trump that will be interpretive dance. Here I go....
