Mutt & Jeff #83

This December 1955 DC humor gem finds the long-running comedy duo of Mutt and Jeff in a gondola under a full moon, with the tall, red-haired Mutt serenading (♪ "All that I amount to I owe to mother!" ♪) while poling them along, as the short, top-hatted Jeff interrupts with some pointed financial advice about squaring a thirty-cent debt. Sheldon Mayer's cover art captures the duo's warm, bickering-friends dynamic with loose, expressive linework perfectly suited to their vaudeville-style charm. At a dime a copy, Mutt & Jeff #83 is a delightful snapshot of mid-1950s comic humor done with genuine affection for these two beloved characters.
