Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #106

Dagwood Bumstead beams with pure delight on this 1959 Harvey Comics cover, hoisting an enormously overstuffed sandwich surrounded by the chaotic ingredients of his culinary ambition — pickled herring, garlic salt, bread, onion, and a trusty knife all scattered across the counter. Chic Young's charming linework captures the gleeful excess that made this strip a household staple, with wavy aroma lines practically wafting off the page. At a dime a copy, this is a warm slice of mid-century comic charm that any fan of the Bumstead family would be happy to have on their shelf.
