Tom & Jerry Comics #117

Tom's whiskers are getting thoroughly tied up in this 1954 Dell gem, as Jerry and a smaller mouse companion gleefully work together with lengths of rope around Tom's food dish — leaving the big cat cross-eyed and helpless right at his own bowl. It's a perfectly composed bit of mischief that captures exactly why this cat-and-mouse duo has such enduring comic appeal. At 52 pages for just ten cents, this issue delivered a generous stack of animated-style fun.
