This week in 1930, Dagwood and
Blondie comic strip was created. It was originated by Chic Young
(d.1973) and continues with his son, Dean.
They have been in cartoons, TV series, movies, and on radio. The
strip featured newspaper man Dagwood Bumstead as the playboy son of
a railroad tycoon. He dated Blondie Boopadoop, a flapper. They
married had a son, Alexander (Baby Dumpling) and daughter Cookie.
The strip is still running with Herb Woodley, Mr. Dithers, Tootsie,
and more. Blondie Bumstead went back to work after the children grew
up and works with Herb’s wife, Tootsie in a catering service. Time
to sit back, reminisce, and have a piled high Dagwood sandwich.

Dagwood and Bacon
A friend of mine, John Chapman sent me this from Monday's paper. Seems even Dagwood likes bacon. Of course the clock is not as sophisticated as the one I mentioned last year that actually cooks a slice of bacon, so you wake up to the wonderful aroma.
PS - Chapman is the author of "Men are from Mars, Women are from Hell." Hilarious book available on Amazon.
