Tom & Jerry Comics #97

Tom's golf game takes a chaotic turn on this August 1952 Dell cover, where the overconfident cat winds up for a mighty swing — apparently unconcerned that Jerry and a smaller mouse companion are crouching right at his feet, each balancing a golf ball on their heads as makeshift tees. Harvey Eisenberg's cover art captures the duo's nervous, wide-eyed expressions perfectly against a bright yellow background, with a colorful strip of Dell's other cartoon characters lining the left margin. It's a wonderfully absurd setup that showcases exactly the kind of mischievous charm that made this series a staple of early '50s comics shelves.
