THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) — A year after Blondie Bum-
stead rocked comic strip pages by announcing she
was getting a job, her chow-hound husband, Dag
wood, is bagging his desk job (of nearly 60 years) to
work for her catering business.
Eat your heart out. Dithers!
Dagwood, Blondie and their faithful readers will
get to digest the idea slowly. It began to unfold this
week in the nationally syndicated strip.
On Monday, J.C. Dithers, as always, was chewing
Dagwood out. But this time, Dagwood got steamed
and told his boss to stop bugging him. Dithers
threatened to replace him with a computer.
“We'll see Dagwood increasingly embattled at
work. Through the course of the week, he's so trou
bled he can't sleep," said Amanda Hass, a spokes
woman for King Features Syndicate, which distrib
utes the strip.
In a week or two, Blondie will conclude that she
needs to hire a jack-of-all-trades for her business —
someone “who really knows food."
Hass wouldn't reveal more, saying she didn't
want to “spoil the fun" for readers of the strip,
which appears in 2,000 newspapers in 54 countries
and 35 languages. Dagwood has experience — be
sides his love of food. He's made deliveries for
Blondie on weekends. And one Sunday, six gue
saw one of his famous “Dagwood" sandwich
piled high with anything and everything, and sign
up as Blondie's customers.
Still, it may not be a career move madeinheava
“I don't know if he should be trusted around
that food," Hass fretted, raising questions aboi
whether the new arrangement will succeed.
Blondie, whose maiden name in Boop-A-Doo
started her comic career solo in 1930. Dagwoodb
came one of her suitors, and they were married
1933 to create the husband-and-wife theme.
Dagwood — like his wife a preserved''thi
tysomething" — has worked for Dithers as an
manager since then. He's been fired and
rehired hundreds of times.
Though Dagwood often pestered Dithers for mo!
money, he only had one pay raise, on the strip'sSii
anniversary. “Nobody knows what he does for a lb av ^
ing, let alone what he makes," Hass said. . T
Last Labor Day, Blondie, a lifelong housewih
made headlines by announcing she was getting a jot ^j 1 ^ 1
While Dagwood choked on her newfound indepff nocence
dence, Blondie secured a loan and opened the cate
ing business with her best friend. Tootsie.
Blondie may consider the new story-line swei
justice. Dagwood's family — his dad was a railroad .
tycoon — disinherited him when he married herl* V j y ^
