* Why is Jerry only taking care of Nibbles part of the time? I've always wondered that.
** This is a [[Wild Mass Guess]], but I think some orphanages and foster homes have programs where a child will stay with a volunteer surrogate dad for a weekend or something, I always figured Jerry was kind enough to volunteer to care for the child that was left on his doorstep part-time, but was prevented from adopting him full-time by [[ItsIt's Not You, ItsIt's My Enemies|the dangers posed by Tom.]] And Jerry is his [[Honorary Uncle]], not his biological one.
** This is supported by "The Little Orphan", actually, where Nibbles is an orphan from the "Bide a Wee Mouse Home" that Jerry agreed to have over for Thanksgiving dinner.
* How racist is Mammy Two-Shoes, really? I mean I'll admit her name (which is never really spoken in the shorts) is in somewhat poor taste, but because she's often the only human in the shorts it's not like we ever see her taking orders from any white person or anything like that. As far as we know she owns the house, pretty [[Fair for Its Day|progressive for its time I'd say]]. And since she's [[The Faceless]] we aren't treated to any offensive exaggerations of her facial features either.
