Plastic Man in the fight for his life against-- a mouse. This issue pays tribute to Tom and Jerry, Tweety and Sylvester and all those other classic cartoon shorts as Plas resorts to everything from turning into a mouse trap to becoming an alluring female mouse, to catch his prey. Many of the panels are drawn like cartoon storyboards and it is clear that Baker would have really preferred that this book be an animated cartoon. But it is just a static, inanimate comic so not all the gags come off. Still, there are some really disturbing scenes, like a rodent biting into a human brain-- not to mention a killer ending. This book is amusing but it needs to actually have some stories that grab the reader-- much like the story arc in the first issues, and not just come off as a series of jokes stapled together.
