Story Notes

Dell Comics house ad for Tom and Jerry's Winter Fun and The Two Mouseketeers (which soon becomes Mouse Musketeers). The covers of Tom and Jerry's Winter Fun (Dell, 1954 Series) #3 (December 1954) and Four Color (Dell, 1942 Series) #603 M.G.M's The Two Mouseketeers (November 1954) are reproduced. Oddly, this ad exists in TWO VARIETIES... Color and black and white. In two copies of this issue, one has the ad in color (as it would be expected) and one has the ad in black and white, which is out of the ordinary. Black and white - or color - ad on bottom tier of page. On final interior page of the comic. Shares page with a Droopy comic story (see previous entry). Unusual use of a black and white house ad on an interior page - limited to certain printings?
