ABOUT THE COMIC: The love story between Blondie and Dagwood, filled with hilarious misadventures and endearing quirks, quickly are the cornerstone of this endearing strip. Between Dagwood’s gift for constructing sandwiches tall enough to knock him over and Blondie’s instinct for landing on her feet, their bond might just prove that opposites really do attract.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Murat Bernard "Chic" Young was an American cartoonist who created the comic strip Blondie. His 1919 William McKinley High School Yearbook cites his nickname as Chicken, source of his familiar pen name and signature. According to King Features Syndicate, Young had a daily readership of 52 million. Stan Drake, who drew Blondie in the 1980s and 1990s, stated that Young "has to go down in history as one of the geniuses of the industry."
