Bud Fisher - Original Comic Strip Art for Mutt and Jeff Daily dated 7-29-27. (Bell Syndicate, 1927). Bud Fisher began the "Mutt and Jeff" comic strip in 1907. Though Fisher died in 1954, the success of the strip was such that it survived uninterrupted until 1982. This is an exceptional example of comic strip art due to its political references to the "Reds," with Jeff even writing to President Calvin Coolidge regarding the perceived Bolshevik menace. This piece of art has been professionally matted and framed under plexiglass to an overall size of approximately 20" x 34.75". Engraved brass plates below the image give the publishing info for this particular daily, as well as a brief history of the strip. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances.
