Please Don't Diet
1 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals; superhero
Cora the CatAtom the Cat [Tom Cat]

Atom the Cat tries to convince Cora the Cat not to go on a diet by sharing a cautionary song about a kitten who became so thin she slipped through a lemonade straw. It's a silly, lighthearted tale about vanity and well-meaning advice delivered with genuine cartoon charm.

From Alley to Atom
8 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals; superhero
Atom the Cat [Tom Cat] (first appearance, origin)

A scrappy alley cat's chance encounter with an open laboratory door during an atomic experiment transforms him into Atom the Cat, granting him incredible superhuman powers. As the newly empowered feline discovers what he's capable of, the scientists who accidentally created him must teach him the difference between using his abilities for good and causing chaos. It's a humorous take on the superhero origin story, where even the best intentions can lead to unexpected complications.

...And Back Again
7 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals; superhero
Atom the Cat [Tom Cat]

Atom the Cat discovers he possesses surprising powers after an accidental sneeze, but when he falls into an extended nap high above the ground, a nationwide search begins to find him and teach him to harness his abilities. When authorities finally locate him and demonstrate his incredible strength, Atom the Cat becomes convinced of his newfound power—and eager to put it to use, though perhaps not quite in the way the military had in mind.

He's Trying Something
2 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals; superhero
Shadow

When Atom the Cat catches Shadow red-pawed near an apple stand, the accused thief insists he's actually trying to do something quite different—but convincing Atom of his true intentions proves trickier than expected. This 1957 tale from Atom the Cat #9 serves up a quick dose of misunderstanding and comeuppance in just two pages.

Cheep or Chirp
5 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals; superhero
Atomic MousesLi'l CheepLi'l ChirpMrs. CheepMrs. ChirpMrs. Spider

When a storm sweeps through the forest, Atomic Mouse springs into action to help everyone in need—from Mrs. Spider to a trapped bee to a beaver dam full of stranded residents. But when the chaos settles, he faces a puzzle that muscles alone can't solve: two mothers, Mrs. Cheep and Mrs. Chirp, have lost their babies in the disaster and can't tell the look-alike chicks apart. Can a true hero use brains instead of super-strength to reunite these feathered families?

Hold Everything
3 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals; superhero
Atom the Cat [Tom Cat]

Atom the Cat has lost his atomic powers, and a team of scientists desperately tries to restore them by attempting to recreate the original experiment—until a discarded Geiger counter reveals the surprising truth: his powers return when he eats fish. Now fully recharged and ready for action, Atom must tackle an ambitious list of world projects assigned by the Atomic Commission, but the cat has other ideas about what comes after work.

The Sentence
1 pp · anthropomorphic-funny animals
Shadow

Shadow faces judgment before a stern judge who must decide on an appropriate sentence, but when the judge asks what kind of sentence Shadow wants, the answer takes a delightful turn—this quick-witted one-pager plays a clever joke on the word itself. A charming bit of wordplay that shows why "The Sentence" was a staple of Atom the Cat's 1957 humor comics.
