Blondie #178

Based on Chic Young's beloved newspaper-strip family, this April 1969 Charlton issue finds Dagwood and Blondie in full hunting-trip chaos — a tree full of startled, cheeping critters sends hats flying and elicits a very loud "OH-NO!" from the pair. It's the kind of warm, slapstick domestic comedy that made this strip a household institution, rendered here in bright, cheerful colors that practically leap off the page. A fun slice of late-'60s funny-book charm at its most lighthearted.
