Blondie Comics Monthly #86

Dagwood Bumstead is caught mid-slide in his yellow polka-dot pajamas, mouth wide open and arms outstretched — one hand hoisting an impossibly tall, dripping sandwich and the other clutching a jar of sweet pickles — while a wide-eyed Blondie looks on in dismay from the corner. This January 1956 issue of Blondie Comics Monthly delivers the kind of cheerful domestic chaos that made Chic Young's strip a household staple, with every detail of the cover practically radiating comic hunger. Whether Dagwood is racing to the kitchen or sliding away from trouble, it's clear this issue of Harvey's long-running series is packed with the warm, laugh-out-loud spirit fans have always loved.
