3	''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:
4
5	* ''Broadway Babes'': Denise and Dotty, two ambitious but not overly talented chorus girls and their repeated attempts to break into the world of show business.
6	* ''Moronica'': The adventures of a [[BrainlessBeauty gorgeous but empty-headed]] young woman trying to get a steady job.
7	* ''Man-Huntin' Minnie of Delta Pu'': A college-based AbhorrentAdmirer out for romance.
8
9	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''. Naturally, given this is a humour comic from TheFifties, ValuesDissonance abounds for the modern reader.

14	!!This Comic Book contains examples of:
15	* AlliterativeTitle: '''D'''izzy '''D'''ames.
16	* AnthologyComic
17	* BrainlessBeauty: Several, but Moronica was by far the most prominent.
18	* BrainyBrunette: Denise, one of the heroines of ''Broadway Babes'', though her smarts were ''much'' more of the ZanyScheme variety and because of the lack of brains elsewhere. Dotty, her blonde co-star, was not as sharp but also not dumb enough to qualify as a DumbBlonde, making her a StraightMan instead.
19	* DeadpanSnarker: Denise from ''Broadway Babes''
20	* TheDitz: Most characters but maybe not the extent you'd expect from the title, with the 'dames' ranging from 'definitely stupid' to 'cunning but not very sensible'.
21	* DumbBlonde: Moronica
22	* GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity: Moronica. If she began the comic with a new job, chances were she wouldn't be ending it still employed.
23	* {{Gonk}}: Minnie, Knothead Nellie
24	* SmallNameBigEgo: ''Everyone''!
