Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #12
In "Thunder-Head," Dagwood tries to smooth things over with Blondie after a late night at the pool, picking up gifts to win her favor—only to find Herb caught in a whirlwind of teenage drama, refusing to go to a dance. With Tootsie eager and Herb reluctant, the couple steps in to help navigate the household chaos, all in the signature humor of Chic Young’s beloved strip. The story, written and drawn by Chic Young with inks by Chic Young, appears in the 1951 Harvey Comics issue #12, a 10-cent slice of mid-century domestic life.
