Horace & Dotty Dripple #33

Harvey's long-running domestic comedy series delivers another dose of hapless home-improvement humor with this December 1953 issue. The cover says it all: poor Horace is being launched head-over-heels by a massive electrical shock while attempting TV repair, surrounded by flying lightning bolts, a hammer, a screwdriver, and a conspicuously unhelpful "T.V. Home Repair" book — all beside the very television set that started his troubles. It's a wonderfully energetic snapshot of suburban DIY gone spectacularly wrong, with Horace and Dotty themselves smiling down from the logo as if they already knew how this was going to turn out.
