Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher for September 16, 2023

Was one of those “raisins” doing the backstroke?

Me thinks they weren’t raisins, better get a rat trap.

These raisins have wings!

I was reading the 1908 strips yesterday. You may already know this, but this started as a political cartoon involving the Howard Taft campaign and local San Francisco activity. A. Mutt and Little Jefferies were residents in the “bughouse,” and most of the humor was out of my reach. At some point, the concept switched to Mutt’s gambling problems at the track in Saratoga. Interesting stuff.

Good retail, you make the mistake and then penalize the customer.
