Sad Sack Comics #17

Harvey Comics' beloved everyman finds himself in a perfectly chaotic predicament on this 17th issue cover, clinging desperately to a tall pole high above the city while a paint bucket tumbles free and a second hapless figure perches above him with brushes in hand — all rendered with George Baker's wonderfully expressive, rubbery linework. The starburst proclaiming "All-New Stories in This Issue!" promises a fresh batch of laughs from a strip that, as the cover itself cheerfully boasts, was already "Loved by Millions" in 1952. For fans of humor comics from Harvey's golden run, this fun-packed issue captures everything that made Sad Sack such an enduring delight.
