Blondie is a popular comic strip created by American cartoonist Chic Young in 1930. The strip portrays the zany adventures of Blondie Bumstead and her husband, Dagwood. The strip also features their children, Alexander and Cookie; the family dog, Daisy; Dagwood's blustery boss, Julius Dithers, and his wife, Cora; mailman Mr. Beasley; Herb and Tootsie Woodley, the Bumsteads' neighbors; and Elmo Tuttle, a neighborhood child. Dagwood is fond of taking naps and assembling and eating huge, elaborate sandwiches as snacks.
