Blondie Trivia Questions
1. Which cartoonist created the long-running 'Blondie' comic strip?

From Quiz Blondie and Dagwood, the Perfect Cartoon Couple

Answer: Chic Young

Chic Young was born in Chicago in 1901 and was brought up in St Louis, before moving to New York. Already an established cartoonist, he introduced his comic strip 'Blondie' to his fans in 1930, and it became an instant success. On his death in 1973 his son, Dean Young, took over writing the strip, which has been drawn over the years by several cartoonists, and by John Marshall since 2005. The 'Blondie' cartoons are syndicated to newspapers in over fifty countries and still remain enduringly popular. Fred Neher created the 'Life's Like That' comic strip, Bill Watterson brought us 'Calvin and Hobbes' and Jim Davis is the cartoonist behind the 'Garfield' cartoons.

From Quiz Blondie and Dagwood, the Perfect Cartoon Couple

Answer: Bumstead

Blondie Boopadoop, an attractive 'flapper', and wealthy playboy Dagwood Bumstead, the son of a billionaire tycoon, at first seemed an unlikely pairing, but the strip was well received. When, however, the financial effects of the Great Depression really kicked in, the strip suffered a dip in popularity. When they fell in love and got married, Dagwood's father didn't approve of Blondie and immediately disinherited him. With the simpler lifestyle they then had to adopt, people identified with them more and their future was assured.

Dagwood often has issues with various salesmen throughout the strip, but it is Mr Beasley the postman who bears the brunt of Dagwood's collisions and the resulting pile of dropped mail. I hope you enjoyed taking this quiz and it brought back many memories.
