Jeff’s name is simply Jeff. When he was first introduced in this strip in 1908 (when the strip was called “A. Mutt”), he was an asylum inmate who thought he was real-life boxing champ James J. Jeffries; since then, his full name has been “Little Jeff.”
No Sunday strip for Mutt and Jeff again this Sunday! What a bummer! Well - makes me glad that I saved all of the previous Sunday Mutt and Jeff strips in my favorite comics collection! But I wonder what is going on here? Personally, I would LOVE to see some of the old Sunday comics from long, long ago!
In the meantime, Wikipedia has a pretty good write-up about Mutt and Jeff - and has one really great strip from World War I as a sample:
