Blondie Comics Monthly #78

Based on Chic Young's beloved newspaper-strip creation, this May 1955 Harvey Comics installment finds Blondie wide-eyed and holding a fresh-baked pie while Dagwood dangles upside down through a window, hammer in hand and stars spinning around his dazed head — a perfectly timed domestic disaster captured in one glance. The cover cheerfully promises the kind of warm, gag-driven family humor that made this series a staple of mid-1950s comic racks. With story and art by Chic Young himself, issue #78 is a delightful slice of suburban comedy at a dime a pop.
