12 oz. Mouse
The protagonist of the program is a mouse with the moniker "Fitz" named Mouse Fitzgerald (voiced by Matt Maiellaro), who enjoys beer and finds himself entangled in a world of espionage, romance, and the pleasures of odd jobs. The serialized program's ongoing plot evolved beyond absurdist comedy to incorporate thriller and mystery aspects. Fitz starts to reawaken suppressed memories of his former wife and child, who have since disappeared. This prompts him to look for information about his background and the mysterious powers that appear to be controlling his reality. Fitz believes there is a diabolical plot involving Shark (Adam Reed), Clock, and Rectangular Businessman's (Kurt Soccolich) attempt to manipulate the nature of time and reality, as well as fields of "asprind" tablets beneath the city. Fitz and Skillet are assisted by Liquor (Matt Harrigan), Roostre (Scott Luallen), Stoned Peanut Cop (Nick Weidenfeld), and others as they participate in gunfights, detonate objects, and attempt to decipher cryptic clues while engaging in explosions and blowing things up. The show occasionally includes bizarre "subliminal" imagery, such as skulls, mustachioed serpent creatures, and screaming people, that flash across the screen during crucial plot points.
