Tom and Jerry #223

In "Birthday Cake Weiner-Roast," Tom makes a rare promise to ease up on Jerry and Tuffy—on George Washington’s birthday, no less—on the condition they tell only the truth. With the stakes set by a legendary figure known for honesty, the trio’s usual chaos takes a surprisingly honest turn. Written by Jack Cosgriff and brought to life by Harvey Eisenberg’s dynamic art, inks, and lettering, this 1965 Western Publishing classic captures the timeless slapstick of the duo’s rivalry with a playful twist. The cover, also by Harvey Eisenberg, perfectly captures the day’s lighthearted tension.
