Blondie Comics Monthly #47

Blondie Comics Monthly #47 from Harvey Comics delivers one of the most delightfully absurd cover gags of 1952 — a shower of colorful lollipops raining down from the sky while Dagwood and Blondie scramble beneath a red umbrella, and an astonished red-haired youngster catches one of the sweet projectiles with wide-eyed glee. The exclamation "It's Raining Lollipops!" perfectly captures the cheerful, anything-can-happen spirit that made Chic Young's all-ages humor so endearing. A bright yellow cover and ten-cent price tag make this a charming snapshot of early-'50s family comics at their most fun.
