The Intention of Someday Mouse

SOMEDAY : Current English Definition : (adverb) at some time in the future

The intention of Someday Mouse is to change the definition of “someday” from “some time in the future” to “some time in the present.” This character was created for the purpose of inspiring people to live their dreams. Life is a precious gift, and no person is sure how long he or she shall live. Therefore, the existence of Someday Mouse helps remind us that we must live a life that is uninhibited by fear of the future, because our existence truly occurs in the present moment.

The Creation of Someday Mouse

Personal Statement from Katherine Brannock,
Owner & Creative Director of Someday Mouse

The Adventures of Someday Mouse was created shortly after I survived a dangerous car accident at the end of 2014. This near-death experience prompted me to completely reassess my original aspirations in life. I began to ask questions, such as: What elements in life are important? What sorts of impressions or gifts are important to leave behind for future generations? How does one conduct a fulfilled life?

The more I considered these questions, the more I realized how every breath was unmistakably precious, and I chose to focus my efforts toward expressing gratitude for each additional moment I had been granted. Soon thereafter, I began developing my iconic, silent mouse character made of salt from leftover tears.

Within a few short months of completing this story, the first printing of The Adventures of Someday Mouse debuted at the 2015 San Diego Comic Convention International. The story and character of Someday Mouse was well received by the public at the SDCC Convention. My initial goal was aimed at inspiring children; however, as the book gained traction, I realized that Someday Mouse’s story had the potential to appeal towards all ages, races, genders, and philosophies. Therefore, my dream is to share Someday Mouse with the global community.
