Blondie Comics Monthly #104

Chic Young's beloved comic-strip couple is in fine form on this 1957 Harvey cover, where Blondie — dressed elegantly in red, pearls catching the light — applies her lipstick at a vanity crowded with cosmetics while Dagwood slumps behind her, snoring away with his wallet drooping from his hand and even the family cat dozing at his feet. It's a perfectly timed snapshot of domestic comedy, the kind of gentle, warm humor that made this series a household staple. With the tantalizing story title "There's No Escape" inside, issue #104 promises the charming chaos that fans of Chic Young's work have always loved.
