Itchy The Lucky Mouse In: Manhattan Madness
Title Pun: Mouse in Manhattan, one of the first Tom and Jerry cartoons
Simpsons Episode: "The Day the Violence Died"
Year 1919
Synopsis: The very first Itchy cartoon (in canon) parodying both the Tom and Jerry short "Mouse in Manhattan" and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit name. The plot revolves Itchy (looking noticeably different due to this cartoon being drawn by Itchy's original creator Chester J. Lampwick) strutting around Manhattan while decides to hurt people throughout the day. The victims include an Irish person (who was ringed through an old washing machine starting with his beard) and Theodore Roosevelt (who was decapitated with an axe). Itchy winks at the screen and the cartoon ends with credits posed by Lampwick.

Famous quotes containing the words lucky and/or madness:
“...a lot of my people are models. I like that for them. I admire models, so I think that’s right for my people. ...I love it when I have an important [client]. And the pictures and awards. One of my clients has these television awards—a beautiful statue of a woman. I think it’s an Emmy. People would be lucky to get one. She has two. I think that’s great.”
—Elaine Strong (b. 1934)
“The multiplication of individual sects should not fool us: the important point is that the whole of America is preoccupied with the sect as a moral institution, with its immediate demand for beatification, its material efficacity, its compulsion for justification, and doubtless also with its madness and frenzy.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
