Bud Fisher - Original Comic Strip Art for Mutt
Bud Fisher - Original Comic Strip Art for Mutt and Jeff Daily date 12-5-23 (King Features Syndicate, 1923). Mutt and Jeff is generally credited as being the first regularly appearing daily comic strip. In 1907, San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist Bud Fisher began drawing his daily comic strip, entitled Mr. Mutt. Later, he added the shorter Jeff, and Mutt and Jeff was born. Mutt was the tall, lanky man always ready to bet on the ponies, while Jeff was his prankster buddy. They were a pair of lovable losers, the working class guys in the cheap seats at the horse races. The art paper measures 11" x 30", with an image area of 8.5" x 29.25". 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. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
