Liberty Bell March, Day 27: The Mouse Problem

We haven't had quite as much Terry Jones in this feature as I'd like, so now here's something only a little bit different. Not quite a comic book appearance, but a charming preface to the delightful and passionate series Mouse Guard, a book that bucked a lot of story conventions and also comics storing conventions, since it's square. And it's an appropriate choice for an introduction writer: Terry Jones is well-beloved not only as a comedian but as a serious scholar and historian of medieval history.

And he knows a thing or two about a thing or two about mice:
