Notes: Fourth-Wall Flouting: Jerry directly addresses the readers on page ten, panel six, to close the story.

The gags in this story, as Tom more and more desperately tries to keep the quiet – lest his cake be ruined, are evocative of the very first Tom and Jerry animated theatrical short: “Puss Gets the Boot” (1940).
