Chic Young - Blondie Daily Comic Strip Original Art
First appearing at the beginning of the Great Depression, <I>Blondie</B></I> retains its status as one of the most widely read comic strips in the history of the art form. Blondie Boopadoop entered the world over seventy years ago, on September 15, 1930, the featured character of a new comic strip by Murat "Chic" Young. A flighty flapper, at first she dated playboy Dagwood Bumstead, son of the millionaire, J. Bolling Bumstead, a railroad magnate, along with several other boyfriends. The comic strip floundered, however, until Young decided to have the couple fall deeply in love. This superb daily dates a little more than one week from the very first <I>Blondie</B></I>, and gives us an early glimpse at the charming bachelorette! The image area measures 18" x 4", and, aside from some very light staining, the condition of the art is Excellent.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Large Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
