Mutt and Jeff were two Norwegian spies who worked for the United Kingdom and MI5 and were members of the Double Cross System.

In April 1941 two Norwegians, John " Helge " Moe ( Mutt ) and Tor Glad ( Jeff ) fetched up on a remote Aberdeenshire beach, having travelled by seaplane and rubber dinghy.

MI5 soon ' turned ' them, assigning them their codenames, which were the names of a pair of cartoon strip characters ( see Mutt and Jeff ).

' Mutt and Jeff ' is also rhyming slang for ' mute and deaf '.

To ensure the German handlers did not suspect Mutt and Jeff of having sold out, MI5 arranged for fake sabotage operations-supposedly the work of the pair-to take place, in one case going so far as to set off a controlled explosion at a power plant which was widely reported in the local media as a genuine attack.

In 1910, at Horsley's Centaur Film Company, Christie began turning out one single reel of a Mutt and Jeff comedy picture every week.

Mutt and Jeff was a long-popular American newspaper comic strip created by cartoonist Bud Fisher in 1907 about " two mismatched tinhorns.

The concept of a newspaper strip featuring recurring characters in multiple panels on a six-day-a-week schedule had previously been pioneered through the short-lived A. Piker Clerk by Clare Briggs, but it was Mutt and Jeff as the first successful daily comic strip that staked out the direction of the future trend.

In 1918, Mutt and Jeff added a Sunday strip, and as success continued, Fisher became increasingly dependent on assistants to produce the work.

Smith continued to draw Mutt and Jeff until 1980, two years before it ceased publication.

In the introduction to Forever Nuts: The Early Years of Mutt & Jeff, Allan Holtz gave the following reason for the strip's longevity and demise:

Their 1981 album High ' n ' Dry was produced by Robert John " Mutt " Lange, who helped them begin to define their style, and the album's stand out track " Bringin ' On the Heartbreak " became one of the first metal videos played on MTV in 1982.

The band had by then caught the attention of AC / DC producer Robert John " Mutt " Lange, who agreed to work on their second album, High ' n ' Dry, released on 11 July 1981.

Mutt Lange initially joined in on the songwriting sessions but then suddenly declined to return as producer due to exhaustion.

Coming off the success of Bud Fisher's daily A. Mutt in late 1907, Herriman began a similarly sports-themed daily strip, Mr. Proones the Plumber, on 7 December, 1907.

Under its initial title, A. Mutt debuted on November 15, 1907 on the sports pages of the San Francisco Chronicle.

When the show was originally broadcast on CBS, the episodes usually had three Quickies ( 30-to 45-second gags which were based on original Garfield and U. S. Acres strips, rather than original made-for-TV stories ), usually two " Garfield Quickies " ( the first one being played before the intro theme ) and one " U. S. Acres Quickie ," the latter of which was never shown in syndication ( except occasionally, mainly whenever a Quickie had something to do with the regular full episode it followed ; e. g. the ‘ U. S. Acres Quickie ’ that follows the episode “ Moo Cow Mutt ” ).
