Notes: Story starts on inside front cover and ends on inside back cover. Use of the exclamation “Yow!” (twice: page 14, panel 4 and page 15, panel 4), along with a cynical plot in which all characters (including Kitty) suffer physical abuse, and the fact that John Stanley used to write for the “Our Gang” title which was the predecessor to the “Tom and Jerry” comic book title, suggest the possibility of this story having been written by John Stanley.
