Tom & Jerry Comics #142

When a rainy day traps Tom, Jerry, and Tuffy indoors, Tom tries to quiet the chaos with a model airplane kit—only to regret it when Jerry and Tuffy repurpose an old alarm clock into a high-flying, motorized menace. The tiny duo’s aerial stunts and relentless buzzing drive Tom to distraction, turning his attempt at peace into a whirlwind of flapping wings and frustrated yowls.

When the master tells Spike and Tyke to "get lost," they take the advice literally—only to find themselves on the run after a reward is posted for their return. Kitty, ever opportunistic, captures them and cashes in, but the humiliated bulldogs soon turn the tables, forcing her to help them bury their bones.

Wuff the Prairie Dog and Sammy Squirrel strike a sweet deal, harvesting wild honey to sell to passing motorists, until Charlie Coyote shows up with a greedy grin and a plan to take over the honey business. With bees buzzing and tempers flaring, the trio’s roadside hustle takes a wild turn.

Jerry and Tuffy enlist Tom in a quiet getaway, hoping to escape the summer chaos of noise, traffic, and endless activity—only to find that getting a contented-to-stay-at-home Tom to drive them out to the country is its own kind of battle. With the ice man and noisy neighbors adding to the racket, even a peaceful retreat might be harder to reach than expected.
