Cicero's Cat-The Witch's Pet-1959

CICERO'S CAT was the top strip for Bud Fisher's long-running MUTT & JEFF newspaper strip. Cicero was Mutt's son in the strip and his stylized cat's rarely used name was Desdemona. MUTT & JEFF were surprisingly successful in comic books also with a long -running title from National/DC that then moved to Dell after nearly two decades. At Dell, CICERO'S CAT was given her own title. This fun and clever story is from 1959's second and sadly last issue.
