Blondie Comics Monthly #123

Chic Young's long-running domestic comedy strip gets a wonderfully chaotic cover in this 1959 Harvey Comics installment, showing Dagwood sent tumbling through the air — fishing rod, hat, and all — after a massive, grumpy fish bursts up through the ice, while a startled Blondie and the family dog look on in wide-eyed alarm. The slapstick energy practically leaps off the page, perfectly capturing the good-natured humor that made this series a staple of mid-century funny-book reading. As a bonus, the issue promises a Special Xmas Toy Section, making it a little holiday treat for fans young and old.
