Notes: This story is a comic book adaptation of the 1950 Mighty Mouse theatrical animated short "Law and Order", directed by Eddie Donnelly - and written by this comic book's editor Tom Morrison. Recurring comics villain The Claw replaces the cartoon's large cat-villain "Pinhead Shlobotka", and the mice are lured into a trap by a sham "Mighty Mouse movie", rather than the "exotic dancer film" seen in the cartoon. Information on the cartoon "Law and Order" provided by Merlin Haas.

Pages: 7

Notes: This story is visibly the work of two different artists – the more “classic Terrytoons” style of Art Bartsch and the wild sketchiness of Jim Tyer. Bartsch handles pages 1-3 and the lower ¾ of page 7. Tyer is clearly in evidence on pages 4-6 and the top ¼ page 7 – especially so at the bottom of page 5 with a hard-charging crowd of 11 policemen waving guns and nightsticks, with one even sprouting “angel wings” to fly above and along with the squad. The final panel appears to be a “tack-on”, in that the Magpies’ expressions are “sequentially disconnected” from the panels before it. They are showing different emotions entirely, with only a vague reference to what has just passed, and that they are looking forward to “our [their] next comic strip”.
