TOM & JERRY
HBO Max, 3:00 a.m. ET
MOVIE PREMIERE: One of the original cat-and-mouse cartoons is revived for a new generation., with a new animated film (and live-action hybrid) that presents their origin story as household adversaries. As always, bet on the mouse. But I’d like to point out this one little question, which has gnawed at me for decades now: What’s with all the mouse holes in the floorboards? Were apartments and homes so overridden with rodents in the 1940s that it was accepted as commonplace that mice lived in the walls and chewed holes for handy entrance and exit points?
