Harvey Hits #119

Harvey Hits #119 brings Muttsy the Talking Dog crashing onto the scene in pure slapstick fashion, with George Baker's cover showing the energetic pup bursting out of his doghouse in an explosion of scattered dishes, silverware, and sparks while a hapless man recoils in his chair, fork in hand. A woman clutching a steaming coffee cup and a couple of wide-eyed onlookers complete the chaotic tableau, setting up "The Jinx Dog" as exactly the kind of good-natured comedic mayhem Harvey fans loved. At just 12 cents, this 1967 entry in the Harvey Hits anthology is a charming snapshot of the brand's cheerful, cartoony humor at its most endearingly anarchic.
