Tom and Jerry is such a funny animated series by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera
I remember watching those cartoons as a kid. When did they first come out?
1940 to 1958, it had 115 shorts in that run.
I have probably seen most of them. I felt bad for Tom. He was always outsmarted.
It was so popular it overtook Looney Tunes in grossing.
Wow that is impressive. Warner Brothers really hit gold with it.
