''[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 [[Un CancelledUncancelled|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.

* [[The Blind Leading the Blind]] - It's often the case that ''none'' of the cast know what they're doing, but they do it anyway. [[Crazy Enough to Work|Sometimes it works out]].
* [[Bound and Gagged]] - Occasionally, the Big Bad will try this to keep the Blobland Band and their allies from ruining their plans. It never works out.
* [[B -Side Comics]] - The interlude strips that ran during ''Pie Noon''.
* [[The Cameo]] - Emily and Tesrin from ''[[All Over the House]]'' appeared in [http://www.nobmouse.net/2009/05/15/revenge-of-the-nasties-epilogue/ this] ''Revenge of the Nasties'' story.
* [[Cephalothorax]] - most of the cast are simply giant heads with limbs attached.
