Tarmor's Terribly Tantalizing Tarasque Terrrifying Random Banter #234

[Peelee]

I just saw a thing that says who you sympathize with in Tom & Jerry depends on whether you're an older sibling or a younger sibling.

And then I realized that most episodes of the show, at least in the old days, are Tom suffering negative consequences for something Jerry did, Jerry antagonizing Tom for really no reason, or Tom trying and failing to do his job and suffering for it.

I can never see the show the same way again now.

Jerry and Tom both antagonized the other while the other was just minding their business, depending on the episode. Regardless, though, Tom was always going to get the shaft at the end because he's the bigger, stronger one. Old school cartoons always punched up.
