Tom & Jerry Comics #156

A sunny beach setting frames this delightful 1957 Dell issue, with a looming, narrowed-eyed Tom peering over a sandy dune at Jerry and a smaller mouse companion scurrying between his enormous paws. Lynn Karp's cover art captures the duo's eternal dynamic with playful energy — the towering perspective of Tom's paws against the tiny mice gives the scene a wonderfully comic sense of scale. A sailboat drifts peacefully on the horizon, blissfully unaware of the mischief unfolding on shore.
