The Duchess

A charming slice of mid-century domestic comedy, The Duchess debuted in 1953's Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #32, brought to life by Paul Fung Jr. during the final years of the Golden Age. Published by Harvey, she inhabits the warm, laugh-filled world of Blondie Comics Monthly and Chic Young's Dagwood Comics, sharing those sunny suburban pages with familiar faces like Dagwood, Daisy, Cookie Bumstead, and Colonel Potterby. A rare find with only a handful of catalog appearances, The Duchess is exactly the kind of delightful supporting presence that makes deep-diving into Harvey's humor comics such a rewarding treasure hunt.
