Mutt & Jeff #4

Bud Fisher's beloved comic-strip duo takes center stage in this 1941 All-American Comics publication, with a cover by Sheldon Mayer that captures the pair in a wonderfully chaotic winter scene. The tall, striped-sweater-clad Mutt struggles to keep his balance on ice skates while clutching a fan, with the diminutive Jeff — top hat and all — tangled up beneath him near an ominous "DANGER" sign beside a cracked hole in the ice, as a mischievous cat looks on. Jeff's speech bubble cheerfully declares he prefers summer because "then we can go swimming," making it clear these two have a gift for finding trouble in any season.
