☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology issue featuring two Tom Cat stories. In the first story, Tom Cat competes in a World's Championship Eating Contest, where he must go without food for several days before the competition. Through a clever scheme involving cows, milk, and green sunglasses, Tom tricks everyone into believing a pool filled with milk is actually water, allowing him to swim and drink milk to prepare for the contest and ultimately win for America. In the second story, Tom Cat tricks the dim-witted Droopy into ordering a "soup sandwich" from Mr. Grumpy, a non-existent item that causes Mr. Grumpy to lose his temper and chase Droopy, giving Tom the first good laugh he's had in years.
Tom Cat refuses to eat during training camp, insisting he knows what's best—but when Saturday arrives and his skeptical friend tags along to see what all the fasting was for, the truth about the champion's unconventional regimen becomes hilariously clear. This 1956 funny-animal romp proves that sometimes the strangest training methods lead to the sweetest victories.
When word comes that America needs a champion swimmer for an important meet, Tom Cat answers the call—despite his notorious hatred of water. With the help of a hypnotist named Harry and some unconventional late-night preparation, Tom Cat sets out to prove himself at the big event, though his fear of the pool threatens to derail everything. Watch as this unlikely athlete finds his own peculiar way to compete and claim victory for his country.
When King Karrot learns his finances are in dire straits, he cuts off all the kids' fun—no comic books, ice cream, or movies. The boys set out to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow to save the day, but their quest leads them to a witch's cottage and a lesson neither they nor their uncle expected. "No Do-Ray-Me" is a charming 1956 funny-animal romp that turns a financial crisis into something far more valuable.
Reddy Fox gets thrown out of Mr. Grumpy's restaurant and dreams up a scheme to get Droopy in trouble instead—by sending him in to fetch a "soup sandwich" from the notoriously cantankerous proprietor. What happens when Droopy takes on the task is pure anthropomorphic chaos, as this 1956 funny-animal romp proves that even the best-laid plans of a conniving fox don't always work out the way he hopes.
A mischievous pup feels unappreciated around the farm and plots an elaborate revenge—only to have his trap catch something far more dangerous than he bargained for in "Dog Daze." When a stranger's sudden kindness catches him off guard, the little dog must choose between his grudge and doing what's right, leading to an unexpected twist on who deserves gratitude. It's a funny, heartwarming romp that reminds us even troublemakers can be heroes when it counts.
