Story Notes

This is a rare Wuff the Prairie Dog story without Wuff and Sammy's regular nemesis Charlie Coyote. GOOD BIT: Rollo Roadrunner touts his own speed: "I go so fast most folks don't even know I exist!"

A Gnaw and Peck Can Make Life Heck!

"All that racket around here has got to stop!"

Storyline

Tom faces the annoying noisiness of Jerry and Tuffy's gnawing and a woodpecker's pecking. How's a cat supposed to get any peace and quiet?

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.

Turnabout Is Fair Play

Storyline

"The holidays are almost here, but I don't have the season's spirit, Tyke!"

Storyline

Spike and Tyke just don't have the Christmas spirit this year, but the birds in the house definitely do - and show it by singing, a holiday tradition that Spike does everything he can to stifle.
