Autograph sentiment signed: "Truly yours/Bud Fisher", 3¾x2¼
piece of paper.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. Lightly toned and creased. Show-through from adhesive residue on verso
touches signature. Irregular edges. Otherwise, fine condition.
