Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #12

In "A Real Sport," Dagwood faces a small but sticky dilemma when he realizes he’s short two dollars to his son Alexander—money he owes for mowing the lawn, even as he’s just turned down Alexander’s request to spend that same amount on a wrestling match. The story follows Dagwood’s earnest, if clumsy, attempt to make things right, capturing the quiet humor of a father trying to balance fairness with his own missteps.

In "Model Husband!", Dagwood tries to smooth things over with Blondie after coming home late by picking up gifts on his way home, while Tootsie dreams of a dance and Herb resists the idea. With a mix of playful chaos and domestic wit, Blondie and Dagwood step in to help Herb navigate his reluctance—just in time for another day of family mayhem.

In "Big Noise!", Dagwood tries to catch a few winks, only to be shattered by the chaos of his household. Convinced his beloved sandwich has detonated from spontaneous fission, he’s left bewildered by the commotion—though the real culprit might just be the usual family clamor.

In "Block Head," The Duchess sets her sculpting tools to work on a block of marble, shaping Colonel Potterby into a Roman soldier—much to his dismay. The humor unfolds as the Colonel's reaction to his new, rather unflattering likeness takes center stage.
