anthropomorphic
Tom; Jerry; Tuffy
Yaaa--you can't squirt me!
Jerry and Tuffy blame their mischievous ways on their being "underprivileged", so Tom takes them to an art museum to "bring out their better qualities". There, the mice are taken with a mural of modern art and Tom, in an unusual gesture of generosity and kindness, buys them a complete set of paints and other art supplies to stimulate their newfound creativity. For his troubles, Tom is driven daffy by the art-obsessed mice painting their modernist-murals all over the house.

Those snoring mice kept me awake all night!
Fed up with Jerry and Tuffy's snoring, Tom scoops-up the mice and dumps them in Mexico, locking them in a shed with a bunch of Mexican mice. He then learns that a Mexican cat's master will pay one peso for each mouse caught, and doubles back for Jerry and Tuffy and their new Mexican mouse friends - who've become much harder to catch for having swallowed Mexican jumping beans. To complicate matters, the mice have hopped across the border into the United States.

A true oddity on interior page 32. A little more than half of this space contains additional reader-submitted riddles and jokes from “The Joke’s on You” Gold Key Comics Club feature – but with no feature title or heading whatsoever. Just three reader-submitted riddles and jokes on the left side of the page space as a non-sequitur. A little less than half of this space, on the right side, contains the cut-out coupon for the “Cheerful Card Company” ad seen on the inside front cover – but completely separated from the main ad itself. Placing the coupon here ensures that the cover would remain intact, even if the coupon was clipped. The flip side of this unusually-placed coupon contained a “Gold Key Comics Club” submissions page that could be seen in other such comics.
