In "Cat and the Cornstalk," Tom attempts a rare act of generosity by taking Jerry and Tuffy to an art museum, hoping to inspire their better nature—only to find himself overwhelmed when the mice become obsessed with modern art. With a set of paints gifted by Tom, the duo transforms the house into a chaotic canvas, turning his kindness into a whirlwind of creative chaos. Art by Harvey Eisenberg, with inks and colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop, and lettering by Rome Siemon, this 1967 classic captures the absurdity of artistic ambition in a single, delightfully messy issue. Cover by Harvey Eisenberg.

Jerry and Tuffy use Magic Grow plant food to make a cornstalk shoot up so fast it vanishes into the treetops—just in time for a prank on Tom. With a TV pitchman and a zoo-keeper nearby, the mice set up a tall tale of a giant cornstalk that leads to a hidden treasure, daring Tom to climb it.

When Tyke tricks Spike into staying home to watch him—pretending to be helpless and in trouble—while the grown-up dogs go cat hunting, the real test begins: can Spike resist the call of the chase, or will he be stuck playing babysitter with a mischievous pup and a lazy hound on his hands?
