Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #123

This charming 1961 Harvey Comics entry finds Dagwood lounging on the sofa with a book and pipe, only to be startled by Daisy the dog — rendered in a delightful smoke-ring vision swirling right off the page. Chic Young's clean, expressive linework captures the gentle domestic absurdity that made this series such a reliable treat, all for a dime. A lovely snapshot of mid-century funny-animal family comedy at its most relaxed and good-natured.
