Story Notes

In this lead story, the property "Tom and Jerry" is misattributed to Warner Bros., rather than MGM. Opening panel says: "Warner Bros. Cartoons present Tom and Jerry". This error was corrected for the reprint in Tom and Jerry #317. Oddly, by way of different media corporate mergers, Tom and Jerry would later fall under the Warner Bros. umbrella.
