davidf42…is that true? I started reading Mutt and Jeff way back in the late Thirties and I don’t remember about that. That’s interesting, if it’s true.
It’s true, frank corona; they first met in 1908, when Mutt was sent to the asylum because he couldn’t stop betting on horses. That’s where he met a little guy who thought he was world boxing champion James Jeffries, and he and “Little Jeff” have been together ever since.
Kind of reminds of Myron Cohen’s joke about the man who goes to court for a divorce and is told by the judge that he has decided to give the man’s wife $2000 a month. The man replies, “That bleeep nice of you, your honor. I’ll throw in a few bucks myself as well.”

Sometimes I’d wish it actually worked that way today.

Is Jeff just crazy, or a genius.

Dkram - He’s crazy. Remember that Mutt first found him in an insane asylum.

I’ve heard of a judge throwing a case out, but this is ridiculous.

There wasn’t enough room left to show the paddy wagon they were tossing him into.
