Tom and Jerry #223
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
On George Washington’s birthday, Tom makes a rare promise to give Jerry and Tuffy a break—no chasing, no traps—on one condition: they tell only the truth all day. But with Jerry’s clever schemes and Tuffy’s innocent mischief, keeping that promise might be harder than expected.
