Mutt & Jeff #77

Mutt & Jeff #77 brings Bud Fisher's beloved comic-strip odd couple striding through a downpour in fine March 1955 style, with cover art by Sheldon Mayer. The cover captures the duo's classic contrast perfectly — tall, lanky Jeff in his blue pinstripe suit and red hat holds his umbrella high and dry, while short, stout Mutt clutches his own umbrella and trudges along beside him, both splashed by diagonal sheets of rain. It's a cheerful, charming snapshot of the mismatched pair that made this long-running DC series a staple of mid-century humor comics.
