Next, a strip club.

A-Maze-ing!

Who Bet My Cheese?

Good one for a maze-mouse cartoon

Peanut butter works even better in a trap.

I used to love mazes

But after entering this last one, I’m not so sure where I stand anymore.

I got lost in a corn maze for a couple days last year

Needless to say I was starving, as fate would have it a ripe piece fell down right at my feet. Startled I called out “well I guess it’s on the house!” To my amazement the stalk came to life and said “Nonsense! It’s on the cob!”

Did you hear about the person who hit their head in a maize maze?

They had suffered a corncussion.

I recently quit my job as a maze designer.

It was a dead-end job.

If the rat stands up that far over the maze what’s the test?

So after taking a chance on finding the right path through the maze, they then have to further gamble on whether they get any “treat”?

What is the reward at the casino?

Does the rat have money now?

At the end of the maze, it should read TSA.

Wonder if the rat will play Russian Roulette with the trap in the casino…

Maybe the cheese selections were the problem?

Rigged slot machines, I assume.

The rat can see over the walls.

Yeah, I don’t want a prize anymore. I want a jackpot.

Smart rat. Thinking outside the maze. It’s own version of hyperspace.

I think the Wiz ate all the cheese and is doing a cover up job.

I heard they like peanut butter and not cheese.

When considering species superiority, I don’t think anyone has succeeded in getting mice to gamble away their cheese. :)

I will keep my comment to myself.

Setting up the savings accounts for the rats was the tricky part.

Mice prefer nuts, seeds and berries over cheese. Peanut butter drives them wild.

Fast forward: The rat gets to the casino only to realize that he forgot his wallet.
