"I can't stand that corny music or that crackle crackle crackle of them popcorn bags. Not to mention the constant steroid shots. Say you'll help me get back to the jungle. Please!"

"Jerry & the Lion" was always my favorite cartoon of Tom & Jerry.
I loved the lion's design and personality. He was so big and powerful and yet he was scared.
I was inspired to make this pic of a "slightly larger" lion asking Jerry to help him get back to the jungle.
Tom is gonna have quite the surprise when he sees this lion now.

I can't find the whole episode on Youtube, but here are a couple clips that cover most of his appearance.
