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:
“Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident—the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.”
—Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)
“The madness of love can always be suspended—to cook dinner or catch a plane, for instance.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
