Disclose Notes: Rectangular dialogue balloons with rounded corners. Lettering or script error: Tom asks the little kid, Jesse James – “Say, did you see Tom and Jerry around anywhere?”, when it clearly should have been “Jerry and Tuffy” since Tom is asking the question. Non-sequitur visual gag: While monologuing to Jerry and Tuffy on the grandeur of his culinary genius, a snake pops its head out of Tom’s basket of ingredients. Without missing a verbal beat, Tom bops the snake on the head with a mallet, and tosses it into his latest simmering recipe.
