Blondie Comics Monthly #52

Party chaos reigns on Chic Young's cover for this March 1953 Harvey issue, as Dagwood goes airborne — stars flying — after a young partygoer in a pointed hat yanks something out from under him, while Blondie looks on in wide-eyed alarm. The gag-within-a-gag inset of a donkey waiting for its tail ties the whole silly scene together, promising the kind of warm domestic comedy that made the "World Famous Blondie" strip a household staple.
