Blondie Comics Monthly #129

Chic Young's beloved comic-strip family comes to life in this September 1959 Harvey Comics installment, where the cover delivers a perfectly timed rainy-day gag: a thoroughly soaked Dagwood trudges through the downpour while Blondie, stylishly dressed in red and sheltering their many puppies under a large yellow umbrella, keeps herself and the dogs relatively dry. It's the kind of warm, everyday humor that made this series a household staple, and at a dime a copy, it was an easy smile for readers of all ages.
