Something about the italicized labels always gets me. Like it's saying, "oh but of course, mouse van".

The back of the van is for ~~delivering~~ hoarding cheese.

Through the back, duh! The side door is just large enough to allow ice cream to be passed out.

Mouse has no time for whimsy; he is on the clock and has a lot of work to do

Right? Why isn't the car made of cheese or something?!

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 5 points 22 hours ago

Probably works better than a Cybertruck.

I figured a mouse would sit like a person to drive, not just stand there.

They really had to put the smallest creature in the smallest vehicle.

Although I guess all animals are the same size in the Richard Scarry universe.

This is blatant misinformation, the Richard Scarry universe canonically has mice which are about as big as a pig-sized water pitcher.

My bad haha it's been a long while since I've opened these books.
