Blondie #161

This Giant Size Harvey Comics edition of Chic Young's Blondie serves up some classic suburban slapstick, with Dagwood spectacularly wiping out on a pair of red water skis — tumbling airborne while a horrified Blondie watches helplessly from the water behind him. The bright yellow cover promises a full roster of familiar faces, with portrait boxes along the side teasing appearances by Dagwood, Mr. Dithers, Herb Woodley, and Col. Potterby and the Duchess. At 25 cents for a giant-sized package of Chic Young's warmly comedic family humor, issue #161 is a cheerful slice of 1964 leisure-life gone gloriously wrong.
