Blondie Comics Monthly #139

A barbershop visit turns into pure domestic comedy on this July 1960 Harvey Comics cover, where a very anxious Dagwood sits in the barber's chair while a grinning barber brandishes a straight razor and oversized scissors with alarming enthusiasm — and a thoroughly unimpressed Blondie, stylish in red, looks on with hands on hips. Chic Young's expressive linework captures the warm, exaggerated humor that made this strip a household staple, and the title "Partner in Crime" hints at plenty of good-natured mischief within. At just 10 cents, this issue is a cheerful snapshot of early 1960s all-ages comics at their most fun.
