Miss Nik, for the record, the Tom & Jerry maid (whose name was Mammy Two-Shoes) NEVER had her face shown on TV. However, on one cartoon, Part Time Pal (1940), they showed a silhouette of Mammy Two Shoes chasing Tom in the moonlight and swinging a broom. The silhouette clearly showed the stereotypical black mammy (do-rag, overweight, etc.). Oh, did you know that in the Tom & Jerry cartoons now, the old, Mammy Two-Shoes voice is now replaced by a more (for lack of a better word) 90s-ish black woman? If you watch Tom & Jerry on the Cartoon Network, try and catch a cartoon called Dog Trouble, and you will hear what I mean.
