Harry Conway "Bud" Fisher (April 3, 1885 – September 7, 1954) was an American cartoonist who created Mutt and Jeff, the first successful daily comic strip in the United States.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Fisher studied at the University of Chicago and then went to work as a journalist and sketch artist in the sports department of the San Francisco Chronicle. He introduced A. Mutt, the comic strip that would be better known by its later title, Mutt and Jeff, on November 15, 1907 on the sports pages of the San Francisco Chronicle. The featured character had previously appeared in sports cartoons by Fisher, but was unnamed. Fisher had approached his editor, John P. Young, about doing a regular strip as early as 1905, but was turned down. According to Fisher, Young told him, "It would take up too much room, and readers are used to reading down the page, and not horizontally."
During this time, newspaper cartoons appeared in a single-panel format. Fisher innovated by telling a cartoon gag in a sequence, or strip, of panels, creating the first American comic strip to successfully pioneer that since-common format. The concept of a newspaper strip featuring recurring characters in multiple panels on a six-day-a-week schedule actually had been created by Clare Briggs with A. Piker Clerk four years earlier, but that short-lived effort did not inspire further comics in a comic-strip format. As comics historian Don Markstein explained,
Mutt and Jeff was a long-running and widely popular American newspaper comic strip created by cartoonist Bud Fisher in 1907 about "two mismatched tinhorns." Historians regard Mutt and Jeff, originally entitled A. Mutt, as the first American newspaper cartoon published as a strip of panels, as opposed to a single panel, making it the first "comic strip" to successfully pioneer that since-common format.
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. Later it was also published as cartoons, films, pop culture merchandise and reprints.
In the series the character "Jeff" is the mascot of the Fairbury, Nebraska High School team, known as the "Fairbury Jeffs" or the "Jefferson County Jeffs."
Fisher is an archaic term for a fisherman, revived as gender-neutral.

1 December 1926 (USA) Distributed by Modern Film Sales Corporation. Music by Jimmy Bradford and Gerard Carbonara. Recorded by Brunswick Sound System. A Kromocolor Production. Shot in a two-color process that occasionally is out of visual sync. Really amazing to watch and I recommend it--simply because of the wonderful use of Two-Color Technicolor. This is an early type of color that seems pretty primitive when seen today since it is made using three strips of overlapping film--black & white, orange-red and blue-green. Often, the films just look VERY orangy and green. However, this is one of the better ones I've seen, as the colors are unusually vivid and pleasing. It is also possible this is Cinecolor--another type of two-color system. It does show that folks were watching things in col...
