Mystery page

Just read Tom and Jerry #247 (Gold Key, 1969) and in the back of that book this page appears out of the blue:

Looks like the final page of a longer story.
No title page. This is what we get. Odd, eh?

I guess this is a reprint from a mid fifties issue? Would be nice to read the full story. If you know where it was published, feel free to leave a comment. :-)

T&J #84 question

A quick question to Tom & Jerry /Harvey Eisenberg fans with access to T&J #84.
Does the artwork look like this on page 8 in the comic book, or is it just the set of proofs I got?
The same wobbly effect appears on page 9 too.

(If it looks good in the comic book I'd be happy someone could help me with scans in 600 dpi, color of those two pages.)

Eisenberg on demand

Back in 1952 Harvey Eisenberg, of Tom & Jerry fame, drew a story called "The Three Lazy Mice" for Western publishing. It's all written in verse and I get a Walt Kelly vibe from just looking at it. :)
Got it in glorious black and white, and if there's interest in seeing it I'll post it here on the blog.
Just let me know.

Harvey Eisenberg and the Art of Running

No one ever drew funny animal characters running through the air like Harvey Eisenberg did.
How can I best describe it? That he made them "weightless with speed", might be a fitting description.
His way of posing the arms and legs of the characters in a very special way while they were running made an impact on me as a kid, and I found it fascinating.
Here are a few examples to show what I mean. I hope you find them as inspiering as I do. :)

Notice the way Eisenberg pushed the shoulder forward on Droopy here.

Tom and Jerry by Eisenberg

I'm currently looking for an index covering the Our Gang issues featuring Tom and Jerry and all other titles where T&J appeared. If you have access to one and want to help, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. Doesn't matter if it isn't complete or if it doesn't cover a long run.
I need an overview of when stuff was first published and maybe also when they were reprinted for a project I'm working on.

And for your viewing pleasure, and as a thank you in advance, here are some nice pages by the great, great Harvey Eisenberg. Enjoy!

Update:
Do not miss the interview with Harveys son Jerry Eisenberg!
To be found on the Yowp blog! Just click HERE!
And there's even more on TAG blog!


Edit: If someone knows how to scan proofs with screentones (The dot pattern on Tom) the best way to avoid moire, please feel free to get in touch. 600 dpi turned out to not work that well, so I'll give 1200 dpi bitmap a shot.  Any thoughts and help is welcomed.
