Sad Sack Comics #11

Harvey Comics' eleventh issue of this beloved series — based on George Baker's famous comic and drawn here by Baker himself — finds the Sad Sack in a spectacularly unlucky predicament: ducking behind a "Buy Bullseye Tobacco" sandwich-board sign as a volley of arrows strikes it with a resounding "PLUNK," while his faithful little dog looks on in bewildered concern. It's the kind of cheerful, self-inflicted chaos that made this series a laugh hit with millions of readers in 1951, and the cover's bright, cartoony energy promises a full issue of fun-packed misadventures ahead.
