Indexer Notes
In the original printing of this story, in Tom and Jerry Comics (Dell, 1949 Series) #162 (January 1958), the property "Tom and Jerry" was misattributed to Warner Bros., rather than MGM. Opening panel said: "Warner Bros. Cartoons present Tom and Jerry". https://www.comics.org/issue/14198/ This error has been corrected for the reprint in this issue by removing the incorrect Warner Bros. attribution.
Oddly, by way of different media corporate mergers, Tom and Jerry would later fall under the Warner Bros. umbrella.
