Notes: Orange and yellow would seem to be odd colors for an ice-hockey themed cover. The original Dell printing #137 (1955) and prior Gold Key Printing #249 (1970) were done in more ice-appropriate shades of blue.

Notes: The last balloon of the final panel is lettered differently from the rest of the story. Possibly Harvey Eisenberg’s lettering in this balloon? Both this printing and the original display the same lettering inconsistency.

The Powers of Pecking Pete

Story on Interior Page(s)

Credits

Writer(s): ?

Subject Matter

Genres: anthropomorphic

Character(s): Tom; Jerry; Tuffy

First Line: Soon we'll have a pretty good supply of crackers, Jerry!

Synopsis: Tom boots Jerry and Tuffy out of the house, then reads a newspaper saying: "Anyone found being unkind to birds will be prosecuted. Feed and protect our feathered friends." In a novelty store window, the mice see an interesting toy. "Pecking Pete. He walks and pecks holes just like a real live woodpecker!" With the knowledge from the newspaper, and with this moving toy woodpecker (which is large enough for Tuffy to fit into and control from the inside), the pair trick Tom into believing that the bird has the power of telekinesis - ultimately getting their home back, and lots of food to boot.

Notes: The story never actually uses the word "telekinesis" but the powers that Jerry and Tuffy simulate via trickery can move objects (particularly food) toward them, knock Tom off his feet, and pin him to the floor.
