Milt Gross DAVE’S DELICATESSEN Sunday Page Original, 1931
Dated August 9, 1931—this is a great example of Milt Gross in his prime!

Dave enjoys weekends at his cottage, away from his deli, gardening and relaxing. As he prepares to do the latter, the phone rings which can mean only one thing! He let’s the parrot answer and it’s his wife’s Uncle Otto and family – they sound like they’re near! Dave imitates a houseboy and tells them they have the wrong number this is the dog pound! Dave tells his wife (who is unseen) not to worry and piles a bunch of newspapers and bottles of milk on the front porch so it looks like they haven’t been home for days. Uncle Otto and his huge family arrive and Dave laughs thinking they’ll be gone in a minute but two hours later, they’re still out on the porch! He peeks out the window and they’re all sitting there reading the papers and drinking the milk! Otto’s wife says “Isn’t it nice of them to leave this stuff, so we can wait in comfort.”
A funny page with Dave in 11 of the 13 panels!
