Blondie and Dagwood's America #[nn]

A cheerful celebration of America's favorite comic-strip family, this 1981 trade paperback by Dean Young and Rick Marschall comes complete with an introduction by Bob Hope. The cover sets a festive tone right away: Dagwood and Blondie are shown together presenting an enormous, candle-topped sandwich-cake, surrounded by a tumble of little blue Baby Dumpling figures, while a younger Blondie dances in a floral dress up in the corner and a stumbling Dagwood caricature tumbles through the title lettering. It's a warm, nostalgic package for anyone who grew up with the Bumstead household.
