Artist sculpts the mishaps of Tom of "Tom and Jerry"

Rusty Blazenhoff

Tom and Jerry‘s cartoon cat, Tom, has seen his share of bad luck in his many attempts to capture Jerry the mouse. But, besides the original animators, no one has captured what the contortions his body went through in those moments quite like this!

By sculpting Tom’s physical mishaps and misfortunes in those vain efforts to catch Jerry, Japanese artist Taku Inoue makes us look at the cartoon in a whole new, and hilarious, way. They’re so good that I’ve included every single one I could find on Inoue’s Twitter page:
