🎉 Welcome to the Public Domain, BLONDIE (1930) 💄📰

👒 Before suburban life with Dagwood, Blondie debuted as a carefree flapper in Chic Young’s comic strip. Her early adventures focused on attempts to win the blessing of Dagwood's snooty, rich family, a far cry from the domestic icon she’d later become.

Blondie’s maiden name, Boopadoop, nods to the “boop-a-doop” singing fad of the 1920s–’30s.🎶
