I thought you did actually mean DangerMouse!
I’ve been mulling over the idea of using MG to portray the resistance fighting the Weasel Overlord’s occupying army after their rapid victory of the 2nd Great War. A la Secret Army, Black Book, and Casablanca.
The last remnants of the shattered Mouse Army managed to escape the invading Weasel’s at the battle of Dawnrock, when a flotilla of small boats appeared from the North and spirited the demoralized mice away. Rumours abound of a great Mouse army, led by Gwendolyn, building on an island to the North, ready for the great invasion and liberation of the Mice nation from the cruel subjugation of the Weasels.
At home small bands of determined mice come together to form cells of resistance against the fascist Weasels and their occupation and slavery of micedom. With great secrecy and enthusiasm despite little training or equipment, these valiant groups of heroes take on the might of the Weasel occupation force.
One of their more important missions includes spiriting away those Mice who the Weasels want to get hold of and who frequently are ‘sent east’ never to be seen again. A secret railway operates across the occupied Mice territories moving hunted mice from cell to cell towards the North shore and then to be spirited away across the sea to the safety of the Northern Isle.
The resistance also carries out acts of sabotage and assassination against the occupiers as well as gathering intelligence to be sent to Gwendolyn so that, when the day of liberation come, the vanquishing mouse army will be victorious.
The main enemy of the resistance is the secret police of the weasel Overlord. Through the use of informers, midnight ‘disappearances’, torture, and the mass execution or deportation of Mice to the dreaded ‘East’, the Weasels seek to destroy the resistance and make them pay dearly for every act of defiance towards weasel rule.
Help does come, sporadically, to the beleaguered mice from Gwendolyn in the Northern Isles who oversees and coordinates the resistance effort across the mouse territories, and secret mouse agents clandestinely slip onto the mainland by small boat in the dead of night with missions, arms and information for the resistance.
Just a thought, and probably a hack that’s not one for the kiddies.
