With Tom’s generous purchase of paints and supplies, the house quickly becomes a canvas of chaotic creativity, leaving Tom overwhelmed by the whirlwind of murals. Harvey Eisenberg handles both the interior art and cover pencils, with inks by the same hand, bringing the absurdity to life in a 1977 comic priced at 30 cents.

Jerry and Tuffy blame their mischievous ways on their being "underprivileged", so Tom takes them to an art museum to "bring out their better qualities". There, the mice are taken with a mural of modern art and Tom, in an unusual gesture of generosity and kindness, buys them a complete set of paints and other art supplies to stimulate their newfound creativity. For his troubles, Tom is driven daffy by the art-obsessed mice painting their modernist-murals all over the house.
