Familiar Poses

Even an air of familiarity can’t make Chuck Jones’ Tom and Jerry cartoons entertaining.

Here’s a Grinch grin.



The dog with the small hindquarters up in the air (Belvedere in Doggone South).



The Wile E. Coyote side look at the camera. Jones loved that one.



This is from The Cat's Me-Ouch from 1965. A good crew worked on it but there wasn’t much left for Tom and Jerry to do by then.

    Alas, I always enjoyed these, would single THE CAT'S ME-OUCH as one of the better ones too.

      Dave, this seems to be the consensus among people I know. They put this at the top of the Jones T&J list.
      The basic story idea seems very much in the Maltese vein. Gene Poddany is still handling the scores.

    Speaking of the Poddany score, I think this one has one dated reference, now lost to the ages: the DR. KILDARE TV theme is cued for the hospital scene
