- Description
- Mutt & Jeff, created in 1907 by Bud Fisher (1885-1954), was one of the first daily comic strips in American newspapers. The strip was in syndication until 1982 by the Bell-McClure Syndicate, drawn famously by Al Smith who drew the strip from 1932 until 1981. The storyline features Augustus Mutt (A. Mutt), his family, and Jeff. Mutt and Jeff are horseracing enthusiasts, and often prone to ridiculous get-rich-quick schemes. This is an original drawing of Mutt and Jeff by Al Smith.
