Mitkey. Mitkey was created by Fredric Brown (Ernie, Henry Smith (II)) and appeared in “The Star-Mouse” (Planet Stories, Spring 1942) and “Mitkey Rides Again” (Planet Stories, Nov. 1950).

Mitkey is a grey mouse who is sent into space by Professor Oberburger, a German scientist, on a rocket of Oberburger’s invention. The mouse, who Oberburger named “Mickey,” is rescued by a race of mice-like aliens who probe the mouse’s memories and learn to speak English as well as changing Mitkey so that he can speak English.
