Albert grunted. "Do you know what happens to lads who ask too many questions?"

Mort thought for a moment.

"No," he said eventually, "what?"

There was silence.

Then Albert straightened up and said, "Damned if I know. Probably they get answers, and serve 'em right.”

This post is part of Debutniverse, a series where I watch just the first episode of various cartoons.

First episode title: Farewell, Sweet Mouse / Droopy's Restless Night / New Mouse in the House
How familiar with the show am I?: I had, of course, heard of Tom and Jerry, but I wasn't aware of this specific version.

Tom and Jerry is one of those franchises where it's hard to imagine you're reading a cartoon blog if you don't know what it is, but to summarise: Tom is a cat. Jerry is a mouse. Tom chases Jerry, usually with the goal of eating him. Got it? In this one they're joined by some of their fellow classic MGM cartoon characters like Droopy and Slick Wolf (a newly-renamed Big Bad Wolf).
