Looks like late 40s or early 50s. Men are still wearing hats whenever they go out. People still think first about taking a train when they plan a trip. Looks like the woman in the last panel might be wearing a fur jacket. Women’s skirts are long. .
Wonder why Max is wearing those sunglasses? Love the title of this strip. And that girl in the the red dress in the last panel looks good to me. And the colors here are so much more vibrant than in most current strips.
Reminds a bit of a famous story about George Jessel. Jessel broke up with his wife and felt so bad he bought a gun to shoot himself and penned a suicide note. He then called pal George M. Cohan and read him the note. Cohan in an attempt to help, told Jessel that the note sounded like a great lyric for a song, and invited him over so they could discuss it.
Eventually Jessel got distracted, the lyric became a hit song, Jessel bumped into a new girl on his way to the music publishers, who would become his next wife, and he eventually sold the gun for a small profit.
Sounds a bit fanciful, but the song was a hit. It’s title was You May Not Remember, All the Things I Can’t Forget. And song was featured prominently in the hit Eddie Cantor movie Show Business.
