''Dizzy Dames'' ({{Tagline}}: 'Screwballs in Skirts') was an early 1950s humour anthology comic published by ACG. As the title suggests the stories were all female dominated, though the actual dizziness of the dames in question varied by character. The line up included:
* ''Broadway Babes'': Denise and Dotty, two ambitious but not overly talented chourus girls and their repeated attempts to break into the world of show business.
* ''Moronica'': The adventures of a gorgeous but empty headed young woman trying to get a steady job.
* ''Man-Huntin' Minnie of Delta Pu'': A college based AbhorrentAdmirer out for romance.
While the humour tended towards the cheeky and many of the characters were drawn as MsFanservice (especially Moronica) the stories and art themselves were no more explicit than those found in ''Archie''.
