In Mr.Little's defense, Stuart was a natural born son so it's really Mrs Little who was at issue.

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.
