Tom & Jerry Comics #64

Tom the cat is caught mid-wince as Jerry snips his violin strings with a satisfying "SNAP!" while a second mouse perches atop the sheet music stand, surveying the chaos from above. Harvey Eisenberg's cover art captures the duo's musical mayhem with that irresistible push-and-pull energy that made this series such a treat for 1949 readers. With 52 pages of all-comics content at just a dime, this Dell issue is a cheerful reminder of how much mischief two animated rivals could pack into a single cover.
