Blondie Comics Monthly #72

Chic Young's beloved comic strip couple takes center stage in this November 1954 Harvey issue, with cover art by Paul Fung Jr. delivering a wonderfully slapstick moment — Blondie, in her red skirt and striped blouse, accidentally clocks a wide-eyed Dagwood square in the face with a large rolled-up rug, sending stars bursting around his head as he flies off his feet. It's the kind of cheerful domestic chaos that made this series a perennial favorite, and "Dagwood's Birthday Gift" promises the same warm, funny energy inside.
