Blondie #162

This giant-size Harvey Comics entry drops the beloved Bumstead household into surreal underwater territory, with the cover depicting Blondie as a golden-scaled mermaid riding a pink seahorse while a wide-eyed Dagwood — his head humorously swallowed by a large green fish — reacts in wide-mouthed alarm. Small tropical fish dart about the bubble-filled depths, and the left column cheerfully previews the familiar cast: Blondie, Dagwood, Mr. Dithers, Herb Woodley, and Col. Potterby and the Duchess. For fans of Chic Young's long-running strip in 1965, this playful "Dagwood's Dream" cover promises the warm, good-natured comedy that made the Bumsteads such enduring company.
