Tom & Jerry Comics #71

A paint-splattered Tom dominates this cheerful 1950 Dell cover, slipping and sliding across the floor as Jerry and a small companion gleefully look on — brushes in hand and a bucket of red paint nearby, the chaos of their artistic mischief written all over the wall behind them. Lynn Karp's cover art captures the duo's timeless push-and-pull dynamic with bright, eye-catching color and genuine slapstick energy. At a dime for 52 pages of all comics, this is a wonderfully generous slice of mid-century cartoon fun.
