Tom & Jerry

 Do you remember the Tom & Jerry cartoons? Did you have a favorite cartoon show? I always loved Chip & Dale, but they were not very popular and the show was hard to find. Anyway, our city has a new Tom & Jerry Mural!

I enjoyed Tom and Jerry, and Bugs Bunny and Donald Duck. :)

The old classics were the best, especially the ones with the fat, Mammy style black lady that hit both of them with her broom...good times.

I remember Tom and Jerry well. When my kids were little they had several videos of Chip & Dale and we watched it over and over.

That’s a great mural! I used to watch Saturday morning cartoons with my dad. Tom and Jerry and Chip and Dale, Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner.

Your town is quite the artist colony. That's a colorful mural with the oldies but goodies. Better any day than grafitti.

How adorable this mural is. My grandkids always watched Tom and Jerry at my house...they loved it. As a matter of fact, Shanda's kiddos loved it because their dads name is Tom and (their grandfather on their dad's side) His name was Jerry....They always thought this was so funny,

What a delightful wall mural in your town, GInny. Your town has fascinating things to look at all the time. It must be fun to drive through it and see all the whimsy. : )

Have a restful weekend, Ginny.

What a fun throwback! Tom & Jerry really is one of those timeless classics that never gets old—full of chaos, comedy, and just the right amount of mischief. That quote on the mural is perfect too; a little mischief does make life more interesting. I also loved Chip & Dale growing up—they might not have been as big as Tom & Jerry, but their cleverness and teamwork made them really fun to watch. It’s awesome that your city is celebrating classic cartoons with a mural like this. Feels nostalgic and playful at the same time. I’d love to see it in person someday!

OMG. That's fun. I love cartoons drawn large like this. What a hoot.
