#SPIKE HOUSE TOM AND JERRY HOW TO#

In The Truce Hurts, Spike is portrayed as a very intelligent and equilibrated character when he convinces Tom and Jerry to stop the fighting among the three of them and sign a Peace Treaty, but their newfound friendship comes to an end when they argue over how to share a big steak, symbolised when Spike tears the truce contract to shreds and they go back to fighting again after Tom accidentally threw the steak into the sewer drain. Spike, however, is not without a softer and sympathetic side: in the episode Pet Peeve, after believing that Tom is willing to leave the house in Spike's favour, Spike feels sorry for him to the point that he offers to leave instead, which Spike does until he realises that Tom is only using reverse psychology to trick him into leaving. Only on one occasion does Jerry fail to frame Tom, in Hic-Cup Pup where Tom unintentionally cures Spike and Tyke's hiccups, and Spike shakes Tom's hand. On most occasions, Jerry causes trouble for Tom by luring him near Spike and harming him to get him angry, and in some cartoons when it's perfectly obvious that Tom is not responsible, as seen in The Invisible Mouse, Spike still blames Tom and hurts him instead of Jerry. It is only in two episodes where Jerry gets Spike out of a jam and the dog willingly protects him from Tom in well-earned gratitude ( The Bodyguard and Fit to Be Tied). In all subsequent shorts, Spike becomes typecast as the stereotypical dumb brute who is always duped into becoming a shield for Jerry from Tom. However, in his first appearance in The Bodyguard, after Jerry willingly saved him from being poached in a dogcatcher truck, he became Jerry's protector whenever needed. In his early appearance in Dog Trouble, Spike as an unnamed Bulldog as the main antagonist, chasing and attacking both Tom and Jerry on sight, even trying to eat Jerry, which forced the two to work together to defeat him. Spike was voiced by Bletcher until 1949, from which point he was voiced by Patrick McGeehan, Jerry Mann, Bob Shamrock, John Brown, Stan Freberg, and Daws Butler, with a thick New Yorker accent similar to Jimmy Durante's. In his first named appearance and his first speaking role was in The Bodyguard (1944), where he was voiced by Billy Bletcher, he also appears to being an anthropomorphic bulldog. Spike made his early appearance as an unnamed Bulldog in the 1942 Tom and Jerry cartoon Dog Trouble, he appears as a somewhat realistically designed mute bulldog. 4.9.3 Featuring a similar bulldog to Spike.Spike also appeared in some of the recent cartoons featuring a basset hound called Droopy, a semi-popular MGM cartoon character created by Tex Avery. Despite their friendship already severed Spike is still getting along with Jerry. Spike soon learns leading his friendship with Jerry slowly deteriorating.

After Spike's brutality, he is shown having a good time or resting peacefully with his son Tyke and they are joined by Jerry, ironically, their real culprit. Spike would then proceed to beat or fight Tom thinking he was the culprit for it. Obviously, whenever Spike tells Tom not to do an unequivocal thing, Jerry overhears the order and does his best to get Tom framed (in the example, Jerry would get Tyke as unhygienic as possible). Spike has a grudge against Tom, not just because he's a cat, but because whenever they cross paths, Tom can sometimes interrupts his nap and relaxation in his doghouse or his quality time with his son, Tyke, because he's too preoccupied about chasing Jerry to see where he's going. Though he is occasionally a rival to both the dyad, as shown in the 1942 animated reel Dog Trouble. He has a somewhat minor friendship with Jerry and is a formidable enemy to Tom, who sees him as his agonist. He's a grey, rough bulldog that appears in many of Tom and Jerry cartoons. Spike Bulldog is the deuteragonist of the Tom and Jerry franchise. For other uses, see the disambiguation page for Spike.
