Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #114
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Ticklish Situation," the Bumstead household finds itself in a comical mix-up when a phone call leads to a delightful confusion between Dagwood and his father, with the caller distinguishing them as "Young Mr. Bumstead" and "Old Mr. Bumstead." Written and drawn by Chic Young, this 1960 Harvey Comics installment captures the everyday humor of the Bumstead family with crisp, expressive art. The cover by Paul Fung Jr. perfectly complements the lighthearted tone, showcasing the family's familiar charm.
In "Girl Crazy," Dagwood is tasked with tracking down Elmer, who’s gone head-over-heels for a French poodle show dog—only for postman Mr. Beasley to show up at the door with the very same pup. The chaos unfolds in four pages of classic domestic humor, as the Bumstead household grapples with a dog that’s more glamorous than expected.
In "A Call for the Ages," a simple phone call stirs a moment of quiet confusion when a stranger refers to Dagwood and Alexander Bumstead as "Young Mr. Bumstead" and "Old Mr. Bumstead," respectively—prompting a brief, wry pause in the everyday rhythm of the Bumstead household. The story captures a small, perfectly timed moment of domestic humor, where a single line of dialogue reveals more about family roles than any grand gesture.
In "It Figures," Dagwood faces a humbling challenge at work when he can't seem to get the numbers right while finalizing a contract for Mr. Dithers, turning a simple task into a test of patience—both his and Mr. Dithers'. The clock ticks as the tension builds over a few misplaced digits.
