Tom & Jerry Comics #169

In "null," Tom’s ill-fated trade for junk machinery sets off a chain of absurd exchanges with Farmer Dawg, who’s oddly fond of elephants. When the mice bring home a runaway pachyderm, the chaos escalates—leading to a bizarre barter involving elephant baths and circus tickets, all while Tom tries to keep his head above the flood of ridiculous deals.

In "null," a well-meaning mother is convinced to adopt a dog for her son after Little Tyke’s earnest campaign to prove dogs are good pets. The twist comes when Spike, bewildered by the sudden change in behavior, mistakes the new dog for his own son Tyke — all while the real Tyke watches, quietly amused.

In "null," the King insists on kicking out the household pests before bed—starting with Tom, who cleverly convinces him to evict the mice first. As the King struggles to round up the mischievous mice, Tom stalls with one excuse after another, until the King, exhausted, decides to sleep outside himself.
