Old Rockin' Chair Tom Scene

Ed Barge has much simpler detail with slightly more basic expressions and softer, rounded edges. Tom in particular has a smaller muzzle and more rounded ears, making him look a tad gentler than normal, especially when frightened.

For examples of this style, see the scene of Tom and Jerry first sneaking back into the house with iron and magnet from OLD ROCKIN' CHAIR TOM (1948). (The part where they get the iron in Lightning's mouth is animated by Irv Spence.)
