Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher for August 09, 2022

It looks like part of a robot.

It’s a good bet that Mutt doesn’t already have one.

An early version of a “Turnip Twaddler”?

It’s a pasta maker! The pot on top, is for the Olive Oil.

Looks like a smoke grinder.

Looks like Tom Paxton – The Marvelous Toy (1968) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB4WFMDW9G4

It’s the thought that counts, but maybe not this time.

Great pal, and nice seeing snow in August.

A vintage comic strip, “Little Nemo in Slumberland” used to accompany “Mutt and Jeff” in my daily comics subscription. Then, several months ago, it stopped. I know that it was not the lack of strips that caused it to disappear from my subscription stream. As a cartooning major at the High School of Art and Design in the mid-1960s, I read and studied this strip often; I loved Winsor McCay’s art work and the wondrous fantasy world that was Little Nemo’s patchwork of nightly dreams. The strip has been around since 1905 and is available in archival volumes. So, what happened, GoComics? Why did you give it the boot without letting me know what was going to happen?
