Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher for March 17, 2023

Today a lot of people don’t know more than what’s they’ve seen on TMZ (i.e., The Moron Zone).

Guns without silencers [pew … pew … pew] maybe rather loud, so by all means stick your finger in the other ear.

‘Gin’? Gun perhaps? I don’t recall a noir in which Bogie grabbed a beetle-browed thug by the collar and crooned, ‘Ya’ better talk while y’ still can. I’ve got a gin and it’s fully loaded’ in lethal tones.

Another final panel that would never be allowed in todays comics.

It was the ‘gin’ that finally got to Mutt.

We’re gettin’ kinda bleak here lately.

Mutt has been doing that stunt a lot lately.
