Mutt & Jeff #69

One of America's most beloved comic duos steps into the classroom in this March 1954 issue, with the tall, academically robed Mutt wielding a pointer and posing an arithmetic riddle — only for the dunce-capped Jeff, perched on a stool before a chalkboard, to cheerfully reply that having $1.25 in two pockets means you'd have "somebody else's suit!" Sheldon Mayer's cover art captures the pair's timeless comic rhythm with clean, expressive linework and a punchline that lands the moment your eyes hit the page. With Bud Fisher's classic characters in fine form, this is a warm slice of mid-century humor comics at their most charming.
