The Mallet & Nuts Scene: (Pictured)
To calm his frayed nerves, Tom sits on the sofa and begins cracking open nuts with a small wooden mallet. Without looking, he picks up Jerry (thinking he is just a nut/snack) and is about to smash him with the hammer. Suddenly realizing Jerry is "the white mouse," Tom's hammer droops like spaghetti in terror, and he stops right above his head! #brighteyes #tomandjerry #tomandjerrymemes #tomandjerrycartoon #cartoon #bestcartoon #oldcartoon
