Tom & Jerry Comics #194

This September 1960 Dell issue captures the duo's mischievous charm in a single glance — a blissfully snoozing Tom laid out across a pillow while Jerry and a smaller grey mouse gleefully saw away at his whiskers with a tiny bow like a fiddle string. Harvey Eisenberg's cover art delivers that perfect blend of slapstick tension and cartoon warmth that made MGM's famous cat-and-mouse duo such a natural fit for the comics page. At just ten cents, it's a delightful snapshot of early '60s all-ages fun, with Phil De Lara also on hand inside for the story "Nuts About Nuts.
