Mutt & Jeff #91

The tall, lanky Mutt and the short, stout Jeff are caught in classic comedic form on this December 1956 DC issue — Jeff sits contentedly in an upside-down wheelbarrow at a construction site surrounded by piles of bricks and gravel, while Mutt scolds him for not flipping it right-side up. Jeff's deadpan reply, that turning it over would just invite someone to fill it with bricks, is pure comic logic at its finest, with the "Men at Work" sign nearby adding a perfect ironic touch. With all-new stories by Al Smith and a cover by Sheldon Mayer, this is lighthearted, gag-driven fun that captures exactly why this duo remained a staple of American comedy comics.
