The Mouse Hole to Beyond?

Nope nope nope. The land of ten-thousand nopes! :V
(I saw the cursed cover)

I’m not familiar with the book Maus. But I very much feel the uncomfortability over it

Ooooooh right, forgot about that book. At least you figured that out now

“Tunnel Vision”?

The Dark Tail (dark because Middle Ages and tail because mouse). Not too on the nose, not too childish

...oh right, that book. Yeah, totally innocent mistake, no harm, but definitely worth a name change.

Hmmm.... are you still hoping to have it be a short, punchy name or are you open to longer ones? Because given the fantasy/reality theme, I'm thinking a play on "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" could work.

Oh yeah, that god-damned book with Nazi cats and Jewish mice! WHY WHY WHY IS THAT BOOK BANNED?! HMMM . . .

Sorry, lost it for a second there. HOO BOY

Ngl, I knew Maus was German and thought it was referring to the massive German WW2 tank of the same name.

Did not realize there is a book with a concerning symbol of the same name.

Oh jeez, I'd forgotten about that one...

Maybe something like Swords In The Mirror?

Mus Milites? It's Latin for Mouse Knights.

Well, if you want "barbaric," you can try the other side of Rome and derive from Gaelic/Irish instead of Saxon/German.

"Luch" or "luiche" (both variants of the same word, pronounced "luh" or "loh" depending on dialect) for mouse, or a related phrase "luchóg" ("luhHAWG," "luhHOAG") which translates to "mouse-ear," referring to mouse-ear hawkweed (which looks similar and is related to dandelions). If you want to work in the "escape" angle, you might even try incorporating "poll" (pronounced either "pUHl" or "pOWl") for "poll luiche," meaning "mouse-hole." I'm not a native speaker, though, this was just from about twenty minutes of research.

Mead & Mice

sorta like D&D

Of Mice & More Mice?

We had to read that particular book in middle school.

New idea for renaming. How about…hmmmmmmm… Warrior rodents?

So...for those not in the know, MAUS is a children's graphic novel chronicling a family of mice as they endure a holocaust from authoritarian cats. It's, of course, meant to be an analogue to jewish people being killed by n*zis in Germany.

It's meant to show kids what the holocaust was about (hence why it's considered a banned book in the US), but the unsettling atmosphere is the point.

I didn't want to say anything since I figured it was a coincidence on your part, but yeah, a name change is probably for the best.

could probably try Mous if you don't want to change too much

Ohh! That book! Lol whoops!

You mean the graphic novel where the mice were Jewish and cats were Nazis? That was a great book, but very dark and tragic. But yeah honest mistake.

As for now titles? Mighty mice? Through the mouse hole?

Redwall?

i uh.....googled it too.....yikes did not expect that

Anyone here who hasn’t read Maus should absolutely do so. It’s harrowing, but it’s a masterpiece, and in these times especially, it’s very important reading

To be honest, the only Maus I know of was the super heavy tank.

UWAH- why'd i Google that, what was i thinking???

How about M0u$e? Throw in some old school Xbox gamer handles!

Mousekai

Oh, I honestly thought you knew and were just parodying that. ^^;

Look up Maus tank.... totally different search results lol
