Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher for January 30, 2013

When you go bowling, do you become a hothead when someone yells “Strike”?

SUSAN is a fire breather!

Litharge and cinnabar paint pigment.

Were you always lit up?

Jeff does not seem to get the point. I remember the pencil chewers and nail biters in primary school. I realize now that there were probably problems at home.

Stop fretting, Mutt. Jeff is a….umm grown ‘up’ adult and has his own responsiblities. It’s nice that you care but maybe you should focus more on little Cicero.

Did any of those matches ever ignite in mouth, as in the Sylvester and Tweety cartoon?“Now I got you Tweety! Into my mouth you go!”

“Gee, it sure is dark inside Sylvesters mouth.I think I’ll light a match so I can see better”“YEEEOW! What’s the big idea setting fire to my tongue?”

Incidentally, pencil “lead” is actually graphite – carbon.Paint on pencil may have lead?

Has Jeff never heard about “red lead?”

Maybe Jeff wants to die like Jesse James of lead poisoning?

That was nice LIGHT touch Susan

Why the hell are they wearing gloves all the time.
