Stories

  • A Study of Tom · 10 pages

    To soothe his jangled nerves, Tom takes up knitting. Jerry and Tuffy find this quite curious and, armed with a book of "Cat Facts", begin an intensive study of Tom's behavior and physical characteristics - a process that drives peace-seeking Tom batty.

  • Balking Turkey · 5 pages

    On a snowy Thanksgiving Day, Tyke tries to hide Tom the Turkey from his master's axe.

  • Flying High · 1 pages

    Bertie and Billie try teaching their too-chubby Cousin Chubby to fly, but he can't seem to get off the ground, until spurred to action by the threat of Howard Hawk.

  • Getting a Job Can Be a Job · 5 pages

    Barney Bear gives nephews Fuzzy and Wuzzy tips on how to find a job, to no avail.

  • Pooling Their Resources to Fight Crime · 5 pages

    In the unusually high desert heat, Wuff and Sammy dream of having a swimming pool. They receive a wanted poster offering a reward for the capture of The Armadillo Kid and devise a trap for the bandit, so they can buy a swimming pool with the reward money. Also suffering from the heat, Charlie Coyote gets the same idea but decides to lay back until Wuff and Sammy spring their trap, and then muscle-in on the reward. Ultimately, and unwittingly, Charlie plays a part in the capture of The Armadillo Kid, forcing Wuff and Sammy to find a safe way to share their new pool with the carnivorous coyote.

  • Pumpkin Puss · 5 pages

    Jerry and Tuffy bake a batch of pumpkin pies to sell. Tom muscles-in to take over once the baking work is done.

  • A Negative Net Result for Droopy! · 0.75 pages

    Droopy catches a red butterfly with a small net just as a dogcatcher catches a Droopy with a bigger net, allowing the red butterfly to fly free.
