Dagwood Bumstead is a main character in cartoonist Chic Young's long-running comic strip Blondie. He debuted in the first strip on September 8, 1930. He is the husband of Blondie and the father of Baby Dumpling and Cookie.
Surely, the greatest victim of circumstance the world has ever known. He loves food, sleep, baths...and most of all, his wife and children. His chronic problems are: running into the mailman and getting to work on time. He is not above defending a principle or his family with brute force. He is famous for his super-duper sandwiches from Blondie.
Trivia[]
- The origin of both Dagwood's surname and Daisy's name came from Chic Young's long-time friend Arthur Bumstead, and his dog, Daisy.
