Tom & Jerry Comics #129

Tom has clearly had enough — the cover by Harvey Eisenberg shows a wide-eyed, startled Tom lunging away from a door as Jerry clutches what appears to be a small red object near the baseboard, while a second tiny mouse looks on with calm amusement. Eisenberg's confident linework captures that perfectly timed split-second of feline panic that made these cartoons so irresistible, rendered here in warm, vivid color by the Western Publishing Production Shop. A thoroughly charming April 1955 Dell issue that delivers exactly the cat-and-mouse comedy the duo's fans adored.
