Mutt & Jeff #19

The Fall 1945 issue of Mutt & Jeff arrives with a football-season cover by Sheldon Mayer that captures the duo's chaotic charm perfectly — Mutt and Jeff are suited up in blue uniforms and leather helmets, with a massive kick sending the ball (and the goalposts themselves) flying while Jeff quips, "Kick a punt? I thought you said kick a punk!" Bud Fisher's beloved mismatched pair bring their signature comedic timing to the gridiron in what promises to be a full-color collection of laughs. At just ten cents, this All-American Publication is a delightful snapshot of 1940s humor comics at their most cheerful.
