Subject Matter
Genres: anthropomorphic
Character(s): Tom; Jerry; Tuffy; Henri (restaurant manager, cat); Mr. Richrocks (cat); various other vacationing cats, helicopter pilot (cat)
First Line: C’mon, you two! There’s the bus that will take us to the Swiss Chateau Restaurant on top of the mountain!
Synopsis: Tom becomes an “ice-skating waiter” at a mountaintop Swiss restaurant, with a smooth and icy outdoor terrace dining area overlooking a high cliff… Oh, and he can’t control his skates!

Miscellaneous
Pages: 8
Disclose Notes: Other than Jerry and Tuffy, all the characters in this story are cats – but “human-acting cats”, not “cat-acting cats”, which is unusual because Tom and Jerry most often takes place in the “human world”. Perhaps “The Swiss CHAT-eau” restaurant was more aptly named than we realized. Conventional rounded dialogue balloons.
