I'm sorry, but I just can't resist this!

 

I may be in my sixties, but I still remember with joy the cartoons of my youth.  One of my favorites was Tom & Jerry, with the scheming cat regularly being handed his come-uppance at the hands of Jerry Mouse and his allies.  The series is criticized today for being too violent - but I don't recall any blood ever being shown, despite Tom being sliced in half, Jerry folded, spindled and mutilated, and all parties being assaulted several times during the course of each cartoon.

I therefore giggled like a schoolboy yesterday when I came across this compilation of some of the best gags from early Tom & Jerry cartoons.  It's 23 minutes of mayhem and laughter.  Enjoy!  (If the embedded cartoon won't play, you'll find it here on YouTube.)



Oh, the memories . . .

Fun stuff. The best T&Js were the early ones from MGM Wonderful stuff.
