Mutt & Jeff #50

Mutt and Jeff have clearly run into some unexpected car trouble — on this Sheldon Mayer cover, the mismatched duo finds themselves tied to the front bumper of their old jalopy while a confident stag has taken the wheel and steers through a snowy winter landscape, leaving both passengers thoroughly baffled (those question-mark speech bubbles say it all). It's the kind of delightfully absurd situation that made Bud Fisher's beloved comic strip duo a natural fit for the funny pages, and 52 big pages for a dime made this February–March 1951 issue a genuine bargain.
