Mutt and Jeff #113

Bud Fisher's beloved odd-couple duo gets a wild new co-star in this 1959 Dell issue, as the cover by Al Smith shows the tall, lanky Mutt engrossed in a newspaper while the diminutive Jeff finds himself tucked snugly into a kangaroo's pouch — top hat, cane, and all. It's a perfectly absurd snapshot of the gentle, good-natured humor that made this strip a household name for generations. With all brand-new stories promised inside, this is a charming slice of mid-century funny-book fun.
