    Pfft, hasn't Geoff already explained it?

    Once Jerry is caught then society is stable again: everyone's part of "the crowd" and there's no "loose cannons" running around upsetting the apple cart.

    (Either that or it just means the annoying twee little bugger won't be around any more).

    I don't have a taste for human flesh.

    I honestly can't think of a better reason why Tom and Jerry would be created. So how many thieves have you eaten?

    Wow dywyd, I just realized that our relationship on Sci is an almost exact metaphorical parallel to Tom and Jerry. I'm the lovable, wily rodent who constantly antagonizes and outwits you, the stuffy cat, out of his stubborn obedience to the owners (scientific establishment)! You learn something new every day!

    I see you've misunderstood "our relationship" too.
    And our relative roles.

    Neither. I don't conform to classifiable stereotypes.

    That's something Tom would say.

    I wonder how he placed his orders? This was before the internet, and I don't recall him as being much for talking. Ordered from a catalog?

    Of course not... Tom is just doing his job; Like every god fearing american he's just trying to find his place in the world. The coyote's just being anal about what he wants for dinner.

    Even more of a reason to root for him, where's the fun in cheering for a cheat? Anyways, he wasn't always the underdog.

    They have a bunch of episodes where that's exactly what happens.

    Yes.

    Why do you hate Jerry so much that you want him to be eaten alive?

    Tom wouldn't need to eat him if Jerry found his own food.
