Mutt and Jeff #8
This issue contains three comic stories by Bud Fisher. In "Spivis Learns Something About The Little Fellow's Past," Spivis encounters Julius Caesar and learns a theatrical lesson about delivering the line "Et tu, Brutus?" "Some Mineral Water! Either That Or Some Lie" follows Mutt and Jeff as they discuss a mineral spring on Jeff's father's farm that supposedly contains iron, leading to increasingly absurd claims about its effects. "As A Hunter Jeff Isn't In Dan Boone's Class" depicts Jeff's unsuccessful hunting expedition where he shoots a rabbit for a meager price, only to have it escape after he refuses to pay the asking price.
