BUD FISHER
Autograph Note signed as "Bud Fisher, the Mutt and Jeff Man", obtained in 1931
Autograph Note signed: "Best wishes, Jimmy/from/Bud Fisher/the MUTT and/JEFF man!", 4x3¼. Ink note (unknown hand) dates signature 4/11/31 in New York City. Bud Fisher (1885-1954), was creator of Mutt and Jeff, the first successful comic strip, the first comic strip artist to make his fortune off of comic strips. Fisher was a theatre, sports and news cartoonist at the San Francisco Chronicle when he came up with the idea for a comic strip. The strip, A. Mutt, began on Nov. 15, 1907; a Sunday strip was later added and the name changed to Mutt and Jeff. Fisher cagily copyrighted the strip, which allowed him to peddle the strip and its characters to the highest bidder. By 1921, Fisher received $4,600 a week for drawing Mutt and Jeff for the Wheeler Syndicate, even though much of the work was done by assistants. With assistants slaving away on the strip, Fisher was free to squander his money on the good life before dying in seclusion in 1954. Mounting residue at corners and on verso. Paper affixed at corners. Lightly toned. Ink note (unknown hand) at top and bottom edges. Otherwise, fine condition.
