Added 3/3/05:
This drawing most likely refers to animation mistakes in The Million Dollar Cat, chronologically the next Tom and Jerry cartoon released after "Zoot Cat" and the one where a telegram is the major plot device. I didn't spot anyplace the telegram should have appeared but didn't, so this was probably fixed. There isn't any gravy anywhere in the cartoon. Maybe what is meant is that there should be some runny egg yolk or something on the plate here for Jerry to be mopping up.

I was in Irv Spence's animation class at Hanna-Barbera back in 1969 and he showed me his cartoon diary. The 2/11/44 entry, showing Irv drawing Jerry was the most memorable image from the diary. In the years since I last saw it, someone censored Irv's dialog balloon. Originally he said "Wish you'd learn to draw this damn(or dam) mouse, Liggera!" Somebody has erased the "damn" and replaced it with "CAT &"! Maybe Irv did that himself, maybe somebody else changed it. Anyway, it's funnier with the "damn". Just thought you'd like to know.
