:-)That might be true for the opera, but it is not true for the original
:-)post.  The character in the television show "The Tick" is in fact named Die
:-)Fliedermaus, and I have seen that spelling on-air (perhaps Americans can't
:-)spell in German?).  I assume it is supposed to translate to field mouse or
:-)flying mouse or something of the like, because the character Die
:-)Fleidermaus is a superhero who dresses in a mouse costume with a cape (and
:-)does indeed [sorta] fly).

This is all very nice and interesting but could some one just post a picture 
or two of the BIG Blue guy called "The TICK"
