research on tom&jerry
ok so i am doing this paper on racism in cartoons before 1955 and i am looking for pictures... actually a specific picture.
since this is such a wide topic i chose tom & jerry as my main cartoon and i remember as a kid when they use to put reruns there was this episode where jerry (or tom!) had a dynamite stick that blew up and made his face burn and the artist referenced "black people" by making the lips bigger and "swollen" and added ribbons all over jerry (or tom's) head....
there was also a merry melodies cartoon that had a girl with a fruit basket over her head and another with the ribbons and both with the swollen lips...
can anyone help me pleaseeeeeeeee to find these picture i tried google but i am not that good a searching! :S:S:S:S thank you so much in advance!

This is from Casanova Cat, I think. Tom blows smoke on Jerry's face to make him look that way. When I click to open the full image on this one, it wants to open in my Kodak Easyshare. I'm not sure how to see it elsewhere:

Jerry (not sure which episode):

If you scroll down, you will see Tom dressed up as his owner. As I'm sure you know, she was a black woman who reminds folks of Aunt Jemima:

There are some, but not exactly what you are looking for. If you go through the individual episodes at the link below, you may find more on what you are looking for.

Hiya.
Sorry this isn't a picture of it either, however I have another reference for you. Remember the owner of Tom? How you always saw her legs but that's all? I remember her being black, I haven't watched it for years and I can't remember if she did anything bad or what would be considered racist to black people, however there must have been a reason for it.
As for the photo, try to google a paper someone would have done on the same thing, I'm sure you've already tried google but try googling different things. Also I would give photobucket and tinypic a search.
Hope all goes well xx.

im not sure about that
but the "reference" is actually called blackface
which was part of minstrel performances
also note taht jynx from "pokemon" had the same sort of thing
its not before 1955
but i thought it was worth looking at
