Surf-bored cat right from the beginning looks really good. The only bad thing i can say about the animation is that Tom still looks quite odd (as with most Jones' cartoons). There are some nice sight gags (the one with the gravestone was really nice and creative). Tom is a cocky bastard in this one, but you still have to like him. It's probably the only time, when i liked the shark character, he was quite funny. By far the best thing about this cartoon is the amazing music by Dean Eliott. It's the best music i've ever heard from T&J cartoon. I like it so much that when I was a kid, I remember listening to it for hours ( i barely even watched the cartoon). It isn't a masterpiece, because it's way too short (barely passes 6 minutes) and as i've said Tom looks odd. Anyway, one of Jones' best!
