Spike and Tyke (1957)


I've been reading a large amount of Dell Comics lately and loving every minute of it. In the pile of early fifties Tom & Jerry comics I've been making my way through the characters Spike & Tyke appear regularly in their own stories. I must admit that, although I was aware of their existence, I'd somehow managed never to actually see any of their lovely looking widescreen romps. Here's Give and Tyke from 1957 (it features a character at the start humming the familiar MGM cartoon theme).

You can watch another, even better, Spike and Tyke short called Scat Cats, also from '57, over here.

Mighty Mouse: Cat Alarm (1961)

I've been told that this was the last theatrical Mighty Mouse cartoon ever made.
