Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher for July 17, 2013

If we as a society went back to wearing white gloves all the time it would just reflect on how the goofiness of how we live hasn’t changed from when M&J chased girls, got fired from jobs and ruled the planet.

Mutt looks at Jeff’s rear who looks at…

They had short skirts in the ‘20s (hadn’t yet invented the word “mini”). Went back to longer skirts during the Depression of the ’30s.

Today’s background music: “Girl Watcher” by The O’kaysions.

“Wasn’t this strip done before mini skirts came along???”

Mutt and Jeff ran from 1907 to 1982. Bud Fisher drew it up until 1932, then his assistant Al Smith took over and continued it through 1980. This one is clearly Smith’s work. It looks to me like late ’50s or early ’60s.

Maybe not in the 20’s (wasn’t around then), but they were that short in the 50’s and again in the 70’s.

This strip proves that the IRS has always been bad.

The problem is that the long form doesn’t like you.
