Hic-cup Pup
Directed by Joseph Barbera, William Hanna
Produced by MGM Cartoon Studio
A lighthearted cartoon romp where Tom and Jerry's antics revolve around keeping a sleeping puppy awake despite his protective father's warnings.
Spike has just put Tyke to bed for his nap when Tom and Jerry chase out the door to Tyke's crib, waking him up. This gives Tyke an attack of hiccups. Spike warns Tom not to wake him up again, which of course is all Jerry needs.
