Chic Young's Dagwood Comics #67

Based on Chic Young's beloved Blondie newspaper strip, this Harvey Comics installment brings the Bumstead family's good-natured chaos to the funny pages in fine 1956 form. The cover says it all — a wide-eyed, open-mouthed kid in a baseball cap takes a face-full of baseball right into his glove hand, motion lines flying every which way in a perfectly timed slapstick moment. Paul Fung Jr.'s cartooning captures that timeless combination of athletic ambition and comic disaster that made Dagwood and company such dependable fun.
