Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #4

A birthday party for Dagwood turns into cheerful domestic chaos on this 1951 Harvey cover, where a boy in a fez sits beside a dog amid scattered streamers while an aproned Dagwood stands surrounded by towering stacks of dishes — a "Happy Birthday to Dagwood" banner strung up behind them. The scene perfectly captures the warm, goofy spirit of Chic Young's beloved character, who gets a whole comic all his own. With all-new stories inside, issue #4 is a fine slice of early-'50s funny-page fun at a dime a copy.
