Here is PUFI CIPOT VESZ, which I guess means something like 'Puffy buys shoes'. Interesting in that the other comic, the shoe clerk (Gyula Kobas), has most of the 'jokes'. Puffy is billed as Karoly Huszar.

A young Leo Maloney is Jack Meredith and Victoria Forde plays his wife.

ok, it's only amazing that it got past the censor. Here is LYSYJ VIJUBLEN V TANCOVSCICU, I guess roughly translated as "Bald is in Love with the Dancer" starring and directed by Reynolds (R. Rejnol's). David Robinson mentions him quickly in "The Great Funnies". Apparently, 'Lysyj...
