Dotty Dripple Comics #17

Dotty Dripple Comics #17 is a delightful slice of domestic comedy from Harvey's "America's Laugh-A-Second Family," brought to life by Buford Tune. The cover says it all: Dotty stands triumphantly over the bed, dumping a bucket of ice water on a sputtering Horace in his polka-dot pajamas, while the family dog looks on — with the quip "It's the only way I can get Horace up since the alarm clock got broken!" sealing the gag perfectly. For ten cents in 1951, this was exactly the kind of warm, relatable household humor that made Dotty Dripple a reliable laugh riot.
