Tom & Jerry Comics #120

The eternal cat-and-mouse rivalry is in full swing on this charming 1954 Dell cover, where a determined Tom holds an ice cream cone with a very unhappy Jerry tucked inside — and is just about to bring a frying pan down on him. Lynn Karp captures the duo's boundless comedic energy with expressive faces that tell the whole story at a glance. At 52 pages for just a dime, this is a delightful slice of mid-century funny-animal comics at their most playful.
