Mutt & Jeff #92

This January 1957 DC Comics issue pairs the tall, mustachioed Mutt — dressed in his trademark yellow polka-dot jacket and red hat — with the short, bald Jeff, who stands beside a green mantel clock on a side table and cheerfully responds to Mutt's stopped-watch problem with a deadpan "Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock." The gentle, timeless humor of the duo is on full display here, with Sheldon Mayer's cover art capturing the classic comic-strip charm that made this long-running series a staple of mid-century funny books. At just ten cents, issue #92 is a warm slice of 1950s humor from Al Smith, whose writing and art fill the interior pages.
