Blondie #186

Chic Young's beloved comic-strip family comes to life in this 1970 Charlton entry, where the cover captures a perfectly chaotic domestic moment: Dagwood, box of chocolate bon-bons in hand, recoils in wide-mouthed shock while their dog Daisy leaps dramatically between him and an equally startled Blondie. It's the kind of everyday household pandemonium that made this strip a household name, delivered with the loose, expressive linework that defines the series at its most fun.
