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).

Finally decided to post my first carving project! I'm very happy with how he turned out. I've seen people make similar projects where the ridges can be used to hold up paintbrushes, and while his aren't built for that and the brush slides off, I'm considering giving it another go and making some practical looking ridges. also, he's perfectly sized to fit in my palm so I can run my thumb along his back when I'm trying to focus. Perfect little gator.

stick n pokes are very cheap and easy. btw
