Blondie



Blondie is an American comic strip created by Chic Young in 1930. The strip runs in more then 2,300 newspapers in 55 countries, and spawned a successful film series, and a radio program. The series has followed the adventures of Blondie Boopadoop (her last name a nod to Betty Boop) as a single flapper girl, her marriage to Dagwood Bumstaed, their children, friends, and now her own catering business.

The strip was the inspiration for the Dagwood sandwich, modeled after Dagwood's impossibly tall sandwich, which can be purchased from the Blondie restaurant at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure.

In the Muppet Babies episode "Comic Capers", Baby Scooter attempts to draw Blondie on his computer, but he cannot get the mailman to look right. Later on in the episode, Baby Kermit and Baby Piggy take on the roles of Blondie and Dagwood when the Babies imagine themselves in Baby Animal's mixed-up comic strip.
