Tom & Jerry Comics #173

In this festive 1958 issue of Tom & Jerry Comics, the classic cat and mice venture outdoors to chop down a tree for Christmas, but their plans take a quirky turn when a persistent bird tries to convince them to cut down his tree so he can join them for the winter. With Harvey Eisenberg handling both the interior art and cover pencils, and John Liggera inking the interiors, this lighthearted holiday tale blends classic slapstick with seasonal charm—a 10-cent slice of early comic book whimsy.
