Line 6:
''[http://www.nobmouse.net/ The Life of Nob T. Mouse]'' is a [[Genre Busting|surrealist science-fantasy comedy]] webcomic. [[Long Runners|Created in 1996]], it is the oldest British web comic and, according to research by [[The Webcomics Company]] podcast, either the 16th or 17th webcomic ever created.
 
The strip began as a series of hand-drawn and hand-lettered comics, coloured in coloured pencils and updated intermittently before the creator, [[Zoe Kirk -Robinson]] took an [[Orphaned Series|eight-year (unannounced)]] [[Series Hiatus|hiatus]]. She [[Uncancelled|picked up where she left off]] in the middle of 2007 and began co-writing the strip with her partner, Jennifer Kirk, in 2008. This has the odd effect of making it one of the oldest continuing webcomics, but not one of the longest-running.
 
The premise of the comic is to subvert the standard view of reality and make a joke while doing so. Plot points range from the totally random to discussions on how a child might explain the world if she had overheard half a physics lecture, missed the point and then tried to explain it to someone else, who wrote it down.
Line 13:
 
The comic was originally the sole purview of one writer-artist, Zoe Robinson, but now the writing duties are shared between Robinson and her partner, [[Jennifer Kirk]], while Robinson continues to produce the artwork on her own.
