“Surprise”

In "Surprise," the latest installment of the beloved daily strip, Dagwood’s absentmindedness takes center stage as he forgets to kiss Blondie—setting off a chain of misunderstandings. When Blondie suspects there are other women in Dagwood’s office, especially after hearing about a new secretary, her curiosity sparks a quiet storm at home. With Dagwood blissfully unaware that his routine has become a mystery, and Mr. Dithers playing an unexpected role, the domestic tension builds in classic Chic Young fashion. The story, written and drawn entirely by Chic Young, captures the gentle chaos of everyday life with his signature wit and expressive line work. The cover by Chic Young perfectly encapsulates the moment’s quiet drama.
