Dotty Dripple Comics #15

Harvey Comics' Dotty Dripple #15 from December 1950 brings Buford Tune's "America's Laugh-a-Second Family" to life in a wonderfully chaotic cover scene — a flustered man in a suit and hat struggles to hang onto a bulging grocery bag while a spotted dog tugs at his leg, a second dog nips at his heels, and a blonde girl peers over a backyard fence with wide-eyed amusement. Tune's warm, expressive linework captures the everyday suburban comedy that made this series a Harvey Comics staple, with li'l Taffy and the neighborhood animals stealing the show in the background. At just ten cents, this issue delivers exactly the cheerful domestic silliness its tagline promises.
