Tom & Jerry Comics #100

A a milestone hundredth issue from Dell, this 1952 entry in Tom and Jerry Comics opens with a wonderfully mischievous cover by Harvey Eisenberg: a determined Tom looms over a sopping-wet little brown mouse perched on a small stool, soap bar in hand, while Jerry watches the whole sudsy scene from the safety of a nearby ledge. The yellow sidebar showcases a charming parade of other familiar animal faces, hinting at the variety packed into this 52-page comic magazine. It's a warm, funny snapshot of the cat-and-mouse world at its playful best.
