Harvey Hits #79

Harvey Hits #79 brings another round of hapless humor from Little Sad Sack, with cover art by George Baker capturing the kid in peak catastrophic form — he's test-fired a $2.00 toy cannon at the store counter, sending a projectile blazing past a wide-eyed shopkeeper while a striped-shirted companion and a little dog look on in alarm. The bright yellow backdrop and Baker's loose, expressive linework give the whole scene an irresistible slapstick energy that defined Harvey's humor comics in 1964.
