I’ve put up another page from the old school reader: “Cinder the Cat”. My wife and I both love black cats, see Cathy’s “Mangy” pages in earlier posts. This week’s strips are Marvelous Mike from 1-7-1957 to 1-12, Mike goes to the office with Cliff and nearly drives Mr. Kimball nuts! At this point, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch moved Mike off the color page and printed the strip in black and white at a larger size. Too bad they didn’t keep it that way! Krazy Kat this week should be titled “Habits”, from 5-29-1939 to 6/3. Pupp and Ignatz try to change their ways, Mrs. Kwakk-Wakk is satisfied with herself as she is. Ya’ll take care until next time!

I think you’re correct with your identifycations except for the scene where Jerry scolds Tom on the cymbal,I think Ken Muse animated Jerry also.

any idea who illustrated that cinder the cat book? (or published it?) i just bought some pages of an old 3 bears book, with the same layout, font, and style.

One of my favorite moments in the entire Tom and Jerry series is in the aforementioned cartoon, when Tom looks completely blissed out and ga-ga while playing the cymbal a la Gene Krupa or Buddy Rich. A swingin’ cartoon!
