Jitter
Jitter gets caught up in the chaos of an auction house filled with art treasures, leading to a series of comedic mishaps involving salt cakes and a desperate cry for a time-out. This one-page romp from 1939 shows why Jitter's talent for taking the cake—literally and figuratively—makes for pure slapstick fun.
