The name '''Tom and Jerry''' was also used for a British mixed drink and for an American punch: an [[egg nog]] spiked with brandy and rum and served hot, usually in a mug. An early bartender's guide ''How to Mix Drinks'' ([[1862]]) was credited to "Jerry Thomas".

Quimby|Fred Quimby]] from the 1940s to the 1960s, then again, for their own company in the mid-1970s. The plot usually consists of Tom's frustrated attempts to eat Jerry, and the mayhem that ensues. Also [[comic books]].

Jerry appeared without Tom in the film ''Anchors Away'' (1945), in which he performed a dance routine with [[Gene Kelly]].

The music for all the Tom and Jerry cartoons up to 1958 was written by [[Scott Bradley]].

'''Tom and Jerry''' was the original stage name used by [[Simon and Garfunkel|Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel]] in [[1957]]. They had a hit with the song "Hey Schoolgirl". Garfunkel was Tom, and Simon was Jerry. They toured for eighteen months before retiring to become college students and then reforming in [[1963]] as Simon and Garfunkel.

They performed one last time as Tom and Jerry in [[Buffalo, New York]] in [[1967]], when they opened for [[Frank Zappa]] and the Mothers of Invention. They did a short set as Tom and Jerry, performing only their old numbers. This was followed by the usual chaotic Mothers show. Then they came back out for an encore, still in the guise of Tom and Jerry, and sang "Sounds of Silence" to a suddenly comprehending audience.
