Tom & Jerry Comics #166

Tom's late-night piano recital is clearly not winning any fans in this 1958 Dell issue, as a grumpy little bear in pajamas bursts from the wall to lodge a complaint — while a sleepy Jerry peeks out from a cozy bed behind him, looking equally unimpressed. Harvey Eisenberg's cover captures the comic tension perfectly, with Tom blissfully pounding the keys, completely oblivious to the indignant audience he's stirred from slumber. A charming snapshot of the chaos and comedy that made MGM's Tom and Jerry Comics such a delight for young readers.
