Dagwood and Blondie (Picture 3). Dagwood and Blondie cartoon images gallery 3. Dagwood and Blondie cartoon pictures collection 3. On February 17, 1933, after much fanfare and build-up, Blondie Boopadoop marries her boyfriend Dagwood Bumstead, the son of a wealthy industrialist. Unfortunately, Dagwood's upper-crust parents strongly disapprove of his marrying beneath his class, and disinherit him. The check Dagwood uses to pay for his honeymoon bounces, and the Bumsteads are forced to become a middle-class suburban family. The catalog for the University of Florida's 2005 exhibition, "75 Years of Blondie, 1930-2005", notes: Blondie’s marriage marked the beginning of a change in her personality. From that point forward, she gradually assumed her position as the sensible head of the Bumstead household. And Dagwood, who previously had been cast in the role of straight man to Blondie’s comic antics, took over as the comic strip’s clown. Blondie Bumstead (nee Boopadoop): The eponymous leading lady of the comic strip. Blondie is a smart, sweet and responsible woman. She can be stressed at times when raising her family and because of Dagwood's antics and despite being usually laid-back and patient, Blondie does have a fiery temper when crossed. Dagwood Bumstead: Blondie's husband. A kind yet naive man whose cartoonish antics are the basis for the strip. He is a big fan of football and has a large, insatiable appetite for food. Alexander Bumstead: the eldest child of Blondie and Dagwood who is in his late teens, formerly referred to by pet name "Baby Dumpling". Dagwood and Blondie (Picture 3).

Cookie Bumstead: the younger child of Blondie and Dagwood who is her early teens. Cookie is portrayed as a typical teenage girl whose interests include dating, hanging out with friends and clothes. Daisy and her five pups (though the pups are seldom seen in recent years). Mr. Beasley the postman. Mr. (Julius Caesar) Dithers. Mrs. (Cora) Dithers. Herb Woodley. Tootsie Woodley. Elmo Tuttle. Lou the diner counterman. The Bumstead family has grown, with the addition of a son named Alexander (originally "Baby Dumpling") on April 15, 1934, a daughter named Cookie on April 11, 1941, a dog, Daisy, and her litter of five unnamed pups. In the 1960s, Cookie and Alexander grew into teenagers (who uncannily resemble their parents), but they stopped growing during the 1960s when Young realized that they had to remain teenagers to maintain the family situation structured into the strip for so many decades. Dagwood slaves away at the office of the J. C. Dithers Construction Company under his dictatorial boss—Julius Caesar Dithers. Mr. Dithers is a "sawed-off, tin pot Napoleon" who is always abusing his employees, both verbally and physically. He frequently threatens to fire Dagwood when Dagwood inevitably botches or does not finish his work, sleeps on the job, comes in late, or pesters Dithers for a raise. Dithers characteristically responds by kicking Dagwood theatrically, and ordering him back to work. The tyrannical Dithers is lord and master over all he surveys, with one notable exception—his formidable and domineering wife, Cora. Dagwood and Blondie (Picture 3).
