Mutt & Jeff #82

This October 1955 DC humor comic delivers the classic odd-couple comedy Mutt and Jeff fans had come to love, with a cover by Sheldon Mayer that sets up a perfectly timed gag. The tall, lanky Mutt leans in curiously toward the short, stout Jeff — who stands amid a floor scattered with debris, broom in hand and wearing an apron — as their speech bubbles reveal the punchline: the dog was sold for chewing up the furniture. It's the kind of warm, gently absurdist domestic humor that made this series a staple of mid-century comics, all for just a dime.
