☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Quarantine Quandary," Tom and Jerry find themselves entangled in a bizarre postal mystery as the Austrian Postal Authorities unveil commemorative stamps honoring famous operettas—setting off a chain of collector’s fever that spills into a whirlwind of international philatelic intrigue. Written by George Allard and brought to life with vibrant colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop, this 1971 issue features a cover by Harvey Eisenberg that captures the absurdity in full, all while hinting at a world where stamps, coins, and medals hold more than just value—they hold secrets.
When Jerry and Tuffy fake illness to dodge Tom’s latest obsession with mouse-juggling, they accidentally trigger a full house quarantine—leaving Tom stranded outside while a Health Department inspector arrives to investigate.
Tom sets out to build a barbecue pit on the patio, determined to block Jerry and Tuffy’s view from their mousehole. The tiny duo aren’t about to let him get away with it—watching from the shadows, they spring into action with clever, mischievous sabotage.
