In "Rabbit-Trapper Tom," Tom kicks Jerry and Tuffy out of the house, only to find a newspaper warning that mistreating birds will be prosecuted. Spotting a novelty toy called "Pecking Pete"—a lifelike woodpecker that walks and pecks—the mice devise a clever plan using the toy’s size and the newspaper’s rules to trick Tom into thinking the bird has telekinetic powers. Written by Jack Cosgriff and brought to life with energetic art by Harvey Eisenberg, this 1978 Western Comics classic features a playful twist on the classic cat-and-mouse dynamic, with a cover by Eisenberg that captures the mischievous spirit of the tale.

When trapping season looms just one day away, Jerry and Tuffy team up to stop Tom from snaring "defenseless little bunnies"—but instead of confronting him head-on, they set a series of clever traps to make it look like Tom’s already breaking the rules. With the game warden, a no-nonsense bulldog, on the case, chaos unfolds as the cat’s own schemes backfire in the most ridiculous ways.

Tom kicks Jerry and Tuffy out of the house after reading a newspaper warning about punishing those unkind to birds. Spotting a novelty toy called Pecking Pete—a life-sized, walking woodpecker they can hide inside—Jerry and Tuffy use it to trick Tom into thinking the toy has telekinetic powers. With clever antics and a little help from the newspaper’s rules, they work their way back into the house and earn themselves a feast.
