Here you can see the monster in better detail. I think it turned out pretty good, even cute (hence the name Snookums).
The joke in this strip is a device which was used a lot in old Warner Brothers and Tex Avery cartoons. It’s when you have a chase going on and suddenly both chaser and chasee have to stop for a moment to catch their breath.
It’s a lot funnier when Tom and Jerry do it.
