Stories

• The All Day Sucker · 8 pages

  Sal Sinistor repeatedly rooks foolish Tom out of his money, until Jerry and Tuffy turn the tables.

• Clean Sweep · 5 pages

  As a practical joke, Jerry and Tuffy undo Tom’s hammock strings – wrapping him up in his hammock. It’s all fun and games until a nearsighted laundry man takes the hammock-wrapped Tom instead of the bag of laundry he was supposed to pick up, and Tom is delivered to the laundromat where he gets the works.

• The Kooky Cook · 5 pages

  Tom’s latest scheme is to create a new culinary dish that will make him rich. Alas, his concoction causes a temporary stiffening-paralysis in its victims.

• Captain Tom · 7 pages

  Tom runs a charter fishing boat. His first customer is a rather grouchy fisherman.
