I got an email a while ago...late last year to be a bit specific and with the holidays I was not able to post this bit of news:David Gerstein of the blog "ramapith" has posted a couple articles about the original title cards for the earlier Tom and Jerry cartoons. What is amazing about these title screens is that it was believed the originals were destroyed in vault fire back in 1965.

Many thanks to Deyan for the links. He's also posted, on a Bulgarian forum, a comparison chart of the title cards:

A March 8th, spring is just around the corner!So the updates are pretty much nonexistent to the site. For that I blame my insane work schedule. I've not had real time to devote to anything in my life, let alone this site. This seem to be clearing up a bit to allow me some more free time and I hope to have some new things on the...he's hoping.
Anyway, you are not interested in hearing my complain of my lack of time, you are here for some Tom and Jerry! Now, news on anything is sparse. Aside from a small announcement a year ago in Variety there has been no more mention of the live action with CG Tom and Jerry movie. So until I hear otherwise I consider that vaporware. What is not vapor is this news of Tom and Jerry Tales on DVD. The Complete first season will be available April 13, you can pre-order it down below:

70 years ago today, a cartoon was released featuring a cat named Jasper, an unnamed mouse, and two-shoes with a voice. "Puss Gets the Boot" debuted in theaters on the 10th of February and changed the way cat and mouse cartoons were made. Oh, there were other cat and mouse cartoons, but Tom and Jerry provided something unique and memorable.Thank you Hanna and Barbera for giving us 70 years of laughter and mayhem that transcends language and time.
Happy Birthday Tom and Jerry!

Just wanted to let you all know that I've not forgotten about this site. Work has been keeping me away from doing many updates to Tom and Jerry Online. It's our busy season and is it really hammering me. Hopefully, I can update soon.By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM AND JERRY! This year marks the 70th Anniversary of Tom and Jerry's first cartoon, Puss Gets the Boot!
