Egypt Tom

A mop and an orange crate turn Tom into an Egyptian in a nice gag in “The Lonesome Mouse” (1943).



Tom is tossed out of the house and scoots down the stairs into the mop and the box.



They land with Tom looking like the Sphynx and the ends of the crate like pyramids. Note how Tom’s feet are exaggerated to add to the effect.



Cut to Jerry capping the gag by doing a little Egyptian-type dance. He butt jerks with a thump at the end.



No animators are credited, just Bill Hanna, Joe Barbera and Fred Quimby.
