Blondie Comics Monthly #136

Chic Young's beloved Bumstead family gets into the holiday spirit in this 1960 Harvey Comics installment, where the cover shows Dagwood — decked out in a Santa hat and red suit — careening down a snowy hill on a sled piled high with supermarket groceries, pulled by the family dog Daisy at full gallop. Blondie and young Alexander look on with wide-eyed alarm from the snowy hillside as the whole cheerful scene teeters gloriously on the edge of chaos. It's a warm, funny snapshot of the Bumsteads at their most endearingly frantic, with Chic Young's clean, expressive linework making every slipping package and startled face a delight.
