A picture or link to one would have helped, but I think this is it, according to what I found elsewhere: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/mutt-jeff/1/wlpwnx
It would appear the correct title is The Adventures of Mutt and Jeff, not just Mutt and Jeff as CPG has it.
Publisher is listed as Embee, and 1921, but the cover is the same as everyone else's listing for the 1920 Cupples & Leon edition, so not sure if it's a reprint or mistake or what. comics.org has more info: https://www.comics.org/issue/797753/ . They have the on sale date as Nov 1920, not January,
mycomicshop has both the Cupples 1920 listed and the Embee 1921 listed, but with no pic of the Embee one to compare. comics.org doesn't list the Embee one. a google search didn't find anything about the Embee one either (only 1 result with "Adventures of Mutt and Jeff" embee), other than mentions of them along with the Cupples version. Without the title in quotes there were more mentions, and 1 scholarly pdf that said Embee published 2 Mutt and Jeff books, but no pics there either.
So the CPG folks can have fun hammering out which/how they want to list it.

Dear Collectible shop
you are correct -the title is THE adventures of Mutt and Jeff
the book is as shown by you but I have a Cupples issue?
by the way the name on your picture is Cupples -look carefully on CPG site picture
Date is Jan 1920 -but will look further-
thanks for a scholarly answer.
Much appreciated-I
love old mysteries-and big fan of Mutt and Jeff

my mistake on the spelling of the publisher, had it right at first then changed it for some reason, so edited my post to correct that.
not sure why the discrepancy on the date, but I'm only going by what comics.org provides as proof. could be what's on the book was done well in advance of when it actually was published.
found a couple closed ones on ebay, here's a foreign result with inside pics from a US dealer, doesn't seem to show on US ebay now, copyright date 1920 in lower right corner, and I don't see any other dates:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-1920-Oversize-Bound-Volume-Aventuras-De-Mutt-E-Jeff-vespera-de-Natal-/112667311401?_ul=BR&nma=true&si=7NJ0iQ8KAW3iPOg9QmyCULGgE0Q%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
so the mystery is the Embee one that I can't find on google. but don't have more time to look, so will let CPG figure out why they have the embee one and not the cupples one.
