Stories

  • Robinson CATsoe · 10 pages

    The mice try to fool Tom into believing their makeshift crystal ball predicts a boat trip for the cat, but they all end up stranded on a sandbar where Tom designates Tuffy as "Friday" and Jerry as "Thursday" and forces them into servitude.

  • The Purr-fect Calm · 5 pages

    When Snowball's purring lulls the mistress into a quiet and restful state, Spike declares "Things are entirely too peaceful around here!" and he and Tyke stir up trouble with the unwitting help of a mouse and a tramp.

  • Danger at the Pond · 1 pages

    A baby chick insists on swimming like a duckling.

  • Long Distance Fishing · 5 pages

    Barney goes fishing in a pond but restricts Fuzzy and Wuzzy to a nearby shed, fearing that the boys will catch more fish than he will. Fuzzy and Wuzzy finds ways to cast their line (with a bent pin for a hook) and still catch more fish than their hapless uncle - without leaving the confines of the shed.

  • Jumbo Wumbo Wides Again! · 5 pages

    A circus train breaks down in the middle of the desert. Wuff and Sammy jump at the chance to water an elephant named "Jumbo Wumbo". The elephant, in turn, protects Wuff and Sammy from hungry Charlie Coyote. But what happens once the circus train is ready to roll again?

  • The Eviction Claws · 5 pages

    The mistress forbids Tom to sharpen his claws in the house under threat of being thrown out of the house, much to the delight of the heckling Jerry and Tuffy. Even with his front paws glued into a pair of boxing gloves, Tom still manages to be caught in the scratching-act and evicted... forcibly.

  • A Bridge Over Troubled Waters · 0.75 pages

    Little monkey siblings Flip 'n' Dip flee to the opposite side of the river from their home to escape the hungry jaws of Lyle Crocodile, but safely cross the river back to their own side with the aid of two friends.
