Tom & Jerry Annual 1979

This Tom & Jerry annual includes some later stories from the comic strip and the drawings arn't quite as good as before. The stories themselves are up to spec though and include a memorable one where Tom becomes an ice skating waiter at a mountain top cafe in Switzerland. It also includes one of my favourite Tom & Jerry stories of all, more of which below.

In nearly all of the stories Tom is no longer chasing the mice but instead being menaced by ghosts or trying to become a TV advert star. Of course, if the comic strip had continued to the present day nowadays Tom would be trying to be an influencer. Well thats a thought!

The best story however is a little more traditional (and has the classic era artwork natch). In one of my favourite Tom & Jerry stories of all,  Tom takes up knitting and confused by this change of behaviour Jerry and Tuffy begin a scientific study of the cat.

Superb stuff, one of the best Tom & Jerry annuals.
