Mutt and Jeff #112

From the long-running comic strip duo created by Bud Fisher comes this Dell outing packed with all brand-new stories. Al Smith's cover captures a wonderfully chaotic baseball moment — tall Mutt leaning dramatically over the stadium railing, hat flying, as a baseball bounces squarely off little Jeff's bald head while a fielder leaps in the background and a crowd of amused onlookers watches the mayhem unfold. With a story titled "Lady Luck Winks at Jeff!" and a cover gag this lively, this 1959 issue promises the kind of cheerful slapstick that made Mutt and Jeff a beloved institution.
