Chic Young - Original Comic Strip Art for Blond
Chic Young - Original Comic Strip Art for Blondie Daily dated 11-20-31 (King Features Syndicate, 1931). From early in the strip's history (it debuted on September 15, 1930), this daily strip is a fine example of the opposition that Dagwood Bumstead faced regarding Blondie Boopadoop, the woman he would eventually marry. Seeing the young girl as nothing more than a gold-digger, J. Bolling Bumstead, Dagwood's father, disinherited his wealthy playboy son after the couple got married. In spite of the elder Bumstead's protests, Blondie and Dagwood's marriage has lasted for more than 70 years! This incredibly cool strip, rendered in pen and ink with blue-pencil shading, has an image area of approximately 17.75" x 4" and is in excellent condition. Examples from this early in the strip's run rarely surface, making this an exceptional opportunity for the fan of comic strip art. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
