Blondie Comics Monthly #48

Alexander Bumstead is running for office, and this November 1952 cover from Chic Young's beloved strip captures the campaign chaos in full swing — a larger-than-life "Vote for Alexander Bumstead" poster dominates the scene while Blondie looks on in exasperation and Dagwood pencil in hand, seems to be adding his own enthusiastic touch to the display. Down below, even the family dog Daisy appears to be reacting to the commotion in her own drowsy way. It's a warm, funny snapshot of suburban democracy, Bumstead-style, and a fine addition to any fan's run of this long-running Harvey series.
