Dotty Dripple Comics #13

Harvey Comics' domestic humor series delivers another dose of family comedy in this 1950 installment, based on Buford Tune's newspaper strip. The cover by Buford Tune says it all: dad is completely zonked out in his armchair, snoring away with "ZZZ"s rising from his head, while a sharp-looking Dotty stands over him with a conductor's baton and young Li'l Taffy looks on with a mischievous grin — whatever they're plotting, he doesn't stand a chance. At a dime a copy, it's a cheerful snapshot of postwar suburban family life rendered with Tune's warm, cartoony charm.
