Tom & Jerry Comics #121

Tom looms over a bathroom sink with mischievous eyes, only to find Jerry standing defiantly atop a bar of soap, scrub brush in hand — a wonderfully absurd standoff that captures the duo's endless rivalry in miniature. Lynn Karp's cover art delivers the kind of cheerful domestic chaos that made Dell's Tom and Jerry Comics such a delight in 1954. At a dime for 52 pages, this issue is a genuinely fun snapshot of mid-century funny-animal comics at their most charming.
