In "The Pains of Painting," Tom attempts a rare act of kindness by taking Jerry and Tuffy to an art museum, hoping to inspire their better nature—only to regret it when the mice become obsessed with modern art. 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.

When Tom dumps Jerry and Tuffy in Mexico to escape their snoring, he quickly learns a new opportunity: a peso for every mouse caught. But with Jerry and Tuffy now joined by a group of hyperactive Mexican mice—and having swallowed jumping beans that make them nearly impossible to catch—Tom’s plan takes a wild turn. Now, the mice have hopped back across the border into the U.S., and Tom’s hunt is far from over.
