Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher for July 18, 2012

this seems to date to about 1933—the fuller front fender came in around then and the gas pump with the handle dates it too and still drawn buy Bud Fisher.

Bud Fisher didn’t draw anything in 1933 except a paycheck. Ed Mack drew this strip.

I’v heard of service with a smile but takes the cake.

Smacks of Chaplain’s “Modern Times”- and what women had to do to survive!

Bud Fisher seems to have signed this…

A car that has no windshield? It’ll never sell!

a Fox would!

I’ve always enjoyed viewing Mutt & Jeff but for some reason I don’t understand I have been X’ed out. Guess I am getting to old to know what is going on.

Finally got it back. Thank you to whom ever did this.

Service with a smile. You don’t get that much anymore.

Wow! Jeff looks chuffed.

Well there is an attractive woman there, So what would we expect?

Bud Fisher’s contract was good, so lucrative, that he could have his assistant Ed Mack take over the strip and draw it, all the while having it look to non-industry insiders that he was still hard at work. Fisher started the strip around 1910 or so and was an older man by 1933.
