Blondie Business

I'm not waiting for tomorrow. Here's a link to tomorrow's Mother Goose & Grimm strip which is part of the Great Blondie Crossover.

And here's a link to tomorrow's Beetle Bailey, in which Mort Walker recycles an old joke from his great strip of the sixties, Sam's Strip.

Meanwhile, you might want to keep an eye on the Blondie strip, which is most easily read at The Official Blondie Website, not to be confused with The Official Blondie Website.

Today's Blondie Link

Some of the press coverage of this Blondie thing seems to have missed the fact that though Blondie and Dagwood are celebrating an anniversary, it's the strip (not their marriage) that has been going on for 75 years. The first Blondie strip by Murat "Chic" Young appeared on September 8, 1930. Blondie Boopadoop — that was her maiden name — was courted by Dagwood Bumstead for a time and they finally tied the knot on February 17, 1933 in the strip from which the above panel was taken. Their first kid, Alexander, was born a year later.

In the meantime, the folks in Mutts get their invitation to the Big Bumstead Bash. And more characters show up in today's Blondie strip. (It's really tricky linking to some of these.)
