Blondie #221

Chic Young's beloved Bumstead family gets a day at the circus in this 1976 Charlton entry, with Paul Fung Jr.'s cover capturing the delightful chaos of a parade of elephants — complete with a clown riding atop one — while Blondie, Dagwood, and a crowd of onlookers react with wide-eyed amazement from the foreground. Adding to the fun, a long trail of blue cartoon dogs winds its way across the bottom of the scene, hinting at the canine-flavored hijinks promised by the story title "Dogmatism!" All-new content and that irresistible domestic comedy charm make this a thoroughly entertaining package for fans of the long-running strip.
