Dagwood and Blondie (Picture 2). Dagwood and Blondie cartoon images gallery 2. Dagwood and Blondie cartoon pictures collection 2. Blondie is an American comic strip created by cartoonist Chic Young. Distributed by King Features Syndicate, the strip has been published in newspapers since September 8, 1930. The success of the strip, which features a well-endowed blonde and her sandwich-loving husband, led to the long-running Blondie film series (1938–1950) and the popular Blondie radio program (1939–1950). Chic Young drew Blondie until his death in 1973, when creative control passed to his son Dean Young, who continues to write the strip. Young has collaborated with a number of artists on Blondie, including Jim Raymond, Mike Gersher, Stan Drake, Denis Lebrun and currently, John Marshall. Through these changes, Blondie has remained popular, appearing in more than 2000 newspapers in 47 countries and translated into 35 languages. Since 2006, Blondie has also been available via email through King Features' DailyINK service. Dagwood and Blondie (Picture 2). Dagwood and Blondie cartoon images gallery 2.

Originally designed to follow in the footsteps of Young's earlier "pretty girl" creations Beautiful Babs and Dumb Dora, Blondie focused on the adventures of Blondie Boopadoop—a carefree flapper girl who spent her days in dance halls. The name "Boopadoop" derives from the flapper catch phrase popularized by Helen Kane in the 1928 song "I Wanna Be Loved by You" (with its tag line, "boop-boop-a-doop") and which was referenced for the flapper cartoon character named Betty Boop, who first appeared in 1930 and was seen in her own King Features comic strip, drawn by Bud Counihan from 1934 to 1937. Dagwood, of course, was immediately disinherited by his parents for marrying "that gold digger blonde." When J. Bolling wrote him out of his will, Dagwood and Blondie had to go out into the world and hack it like the rest of us. Settling down to a modest lifestyle with children and a dog, they became concerned with real life...making ends meet, raising a family, eating, and sleeping. And these four same topics are the primary ingredients of the strip to this very day (seventy years later!). Today, Blondie and Dagwood appear together in blissful love and happiness in over 2,300 newspapers all around the world...translated into 35 different languages in 55 countries and read by an estimated 280 million people every day.
