Blondie #151

Domestic chaos reaches a delightful peak on the cover of this 1962 Harvey Comics entry, where Blondie — fish net and empty fishbowl in hand — bursts through the bathroom door to find a very grumpy Dagwood soaking in a tub now shared with several escapee goldfish leaping through the air around him. Chic Young's cheerful, expressive linework captures the scene's absurd comedy perfectly, with Blondie's wide-eyed alarm contrasting beautifully against Dagwood's resigned, waterlogged scowl. If you've ever loved the warm, goofy humor of the Bumstead household, Blondie #151 is a fine reminder of why this series kept readers smiling for decades.
