DOES he look like an evil villain? Perhaps from the perspective of a cat fancier, I guess. But the context of SUPER MOUSE is exactly the same as that of Mighty Mouse (who was actually *called* Super Mouse in his first animated cartoon)... which is to say that on "Mouseworld", ALL the cats are evil villains, no ifs ands or buts about it -- "good cats" simply don't exist. That makes this cover exactly analogous to the dozens of WWII covers where superheroes are shown gleefully kicking Nazi and Japanese butt. And now that I just typed that, it occurs to me that cats were the Nazis in Art Spiegleman's MAUS as well, as if to put a finer point on it. But I digress. Just bear in mind that when you see a cat (any cat) depicted in Super Mouse or Mighty Mouse, that cat represents "evil".
