A Tail Sandwich Tale

Tom’s tail gets abused several times in ‘The Mouse Comes to Dinner’ (1945). The best scene is when Jerry puts it into a candle-holder and lights it. But twice before that, Jerry gets Tom to eat it, the second time as a pineapple ice-cream dessert but first in a sandwich.

Here’s Tom’s reaction before he skyrockets into the air.
