Mutt & Jeff #90

This October 1956 DC humor comic delivers a perfectly timed gag right on its cover, drawn by Sheldon Mayer: a mustachioed Mutt sits cramped in a tiny pink car, cheerfully offering a traffic cop the dubious deal that he'll stop for the next three green lights to make up for running a red — while a bemused Jeff looks on from behind. The towering, stony-faced officer's barely suppressed reaction sells the joke beautifully, capturing the easygoing comic mischief that made this long-running series a favorite. As a bonus, the issue includes details and an entry blank for a Giant $5,000 Prize Contest, giving readers even more reason to pick it up.
