Blondie Comics Monthly #26

Chic Young's Blondie Comics Monthly #26 rings in January 1951 with a wonderfully absurd winter gag: Dagwood has apparently had a snowy encounter outdoors, arriving home with his entire head encased in a snowball — pipe still cheerfully clenched in his teeth — while a wide-eyed Blondie exclaims his full name in exasperation, and the family dog sprawls lazily near the door as a partially built snowman looks on from the yard. Promising "all-new stories special for this issue," this Harvey Comics edition also teases a Blondie and Dagwood "Pin-Up!" inside, making it a cozy, laugh-filled read for fans of the beloved Bumstead household.
