Freebase(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Mutt and Jeff. Mutt and Jeff was a long-popular American newspaper comic strip created by cartoonist Bud Fisher in 1907 about two mismatched tinhorns.. It is commonly regarded as the first daily comic strip.
The Mutt and Jeff comic strip remained in syndication until 1983, employing the talents of several cartoonists, chiefly Al Smith who drew the strip for nearly fifty years. The series eventually became a comic book, initially published by All-American Publications and later published by DC Comics, Dell Comics and Harvey Comics.
