The Courtship and Wedding -- and several bumps along the wayBy AjitWe all know Dagwood and Blondie, right? The happy couple living the American dream in the suburbs, with madcap teenagers, crazy dogs, nice or noisy neighbors, a crabby (but henpecked) boss, and an aggrieved mailman (with much to be aggrieved about) all whirling in and out of their lives.There is none of that in this book.It is as the subtitle says all about 'The Courtship and Wedding'.Long before Dagwood put together his first triple-decker sandwich, he was the epitome of the spoiled rich brat, the only child of a blue-blooded billionaire railway baron and his socialite wife. (Back then Dagwood probably couldn't have found the way to the kitchen to make a sandwich!)Blondie, meanwhile, was a seemingly empty-headed flirt, beautiful but helpless, the 'dumb blonde' of all those jokes.The basic premise of the strips in this volume are laid out early. "But Pop -- I want you to meet Blondie -- we're engaged you know," Dagwood tells his father in the first panel of the first strip."If I marry you," he tells Blondie in the ninth strip, "Dad says he'll disinherit me."It takes over 250 pages -- three daily strips to a page -- but that is precisely what happens in the end of this volume.It is definitely rough going. The art is assured, the plotting much less so. Chic Young was running out of steam, possibly discouraged by the tepid response to his strip, and repeating gags as he went on. Thrice Dagwood introduces old chums to Blondie; thrice they fall for her, much to Dagwood's fury. There are two elopements -- and Blondie suddenly expresses a yen for hot-dogs both times.But perhaps that wasn't the only reason for the lack of positive reaction. The strip made its debut as the Great Depression was tightening its grip, on September 8, 1930. It wasn't the best time, as Brian Walker points out in his introduction, to read about a careless playboy and his dizzy girlfriend. And so it wasn't surprising that eighteen months after its debut the 'New York American', the biggest name in the Hearst stable, dropped the strip.Chic Young comes out as a man who is out of touch with his readers in the early years. In 1930, when millions were out of work, he was confident enough to walk away from a $500 a week job, vacationing on the French Riviera until King Features called him back. But the shock of reader rejection helped him gain a new sense of perspective by 1932, going to New York to seek advice from Joseph Connoly, general manager of King Features."Why don't you have them marry?" Connoly suggested -- and that, after a historic fast lasting 28 days, 7 hours, 8 minutes, and 22 seconds, is precisely what Chic Young had Dagwood and Blondie do.J. Bolling Bumstead disinherits his son in one of the penultimate strips, just as he had promised, leaving the newlyweds free to become one of the most popular and longest-lasting strips in the history of the medium.This volume is a treasure for all fans of classic American comics, bringing together a sequence of rarely-seen strips. They have been beautifully presented in this luxurious book, with all the trimmings fans have come to expect from the Library of American comics -- gorgeous paper, a ribbon marker, and all the rest.A special shout-out goes to Dean Mullaney (editor and designer) and Lorraine Turner (art director) for the sublime end-papers. (I'm not kidding, read them!)To pick the tiniest of nits, I believe the June 29, 1931 strip has been printed out of sequence. The four panels should be read 3-4-1-2 to make sense of the following day's strip.And the erudite and talented Brian Walker errs in his otherwise much appreciated introduction. It was Walt -- not Skeezix! -- that married Phyllis Blossom in 'Gasoline Alley'.I look forward in anticipation to the arrival of the second volume, and have no hesitation in giving 'The Courtship and Wedding' a richly-deserved full five stars.11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Finally!By Allan HoltzThis is one of those reprint books that has been overdue for, oh, about fifty years or so. Chic Young's Blondie, which became staggeringly popular after a rough patch at the start, has long been one of the world's favorite newspaper strips. And the mythology of those early years, years in which the strip ran in very few papers, has long been whispered about not only among serious comics fans but by casual readers as well. We've all heard that Dagwood came from an ultra-rich family, of his infamous hunger strike to win Blondie, and of him turning his back on the Bumstead millions in favor of an air-headed flapper named Blondie Boopadoop.Yet never during all these years have we seen more than just a fleeting taste of those years, a few days or a week's worth of strips reprinted here or there. Rumor had it that the Young estate bore some ill-will to the publication of these early strips, though it seems hard to imagine why. Or perhaps they were holding out for a lucrative publishing deal. Not being on the inside, I don't know what kept these strips out of sight all those years.But finally Dean Mullaney and IDW have issued the complete story (well, sans Sundays, which oddly follow a different continuity and are therefore sort of beside the point). After facing all the stumbling blocks to the publication, including simply finding all these ridiculously rare strips, the obvious question is whether it was all worth it. In my opinion, a very mildly qualified 'yes'! On the down side, these early years of Blondie are rather repetitive -- Dagwood is blocked over and over from marrying Blondie in plot lines that can become monotonous in their similarity. Evidently Young, knowing how few papers were running the feature, and that he was being picked up and canceled with regularity, had a tendency to dog it a little in the originality of his stories. However, the same can be said of many humor strips, and if you put this book aside occasionally and come back to it fresh a week or two later, the repetitiveness is far less noticeable.On the plus side, the stories really are pretty darn funny. There's a lot of slapstick, a lot of airhead flapper humor, and no shortage of punch lines that can still elicit a smile or a guffaw nearly four score years later. And of course there's the allure of Blondie herself, deliciously illustrated by Young as a supremely delectable dish. Blondie still has the 'hot mom' thing goin' on today, but in 1930 she was more like Frank Godwin's Connie, a waif-like vision dressed in translucent chiffons and figure-hugging satins. And speaking of the artwork, we mustn't forget that the great Alex Raymond was honing his cartooning chops assisting during this period. Though undetectable most of the time, it's great fun to discover Raymond's sensibilities popping up occasionally. Nowhere is he more evident than in a sequence with uber-hunk Gil, a car mechanic who threatens to steal Blondie's heart forever in one of the odder stories (Dagwood disappears for several months, signaling that perhaps Young had cold feet over the durability of his Dagwood character).As is usual with Mullaney-edited reprint volumes, the reproduction is excellent, the strips printed reasonably large (reduced only about 15% from their original printed 6-column size) and the restoration sensitive and thorough. Add to that an interesting Brian Walker intro illustrated with some rare ephemera of the strip, and you have quite an attractive package. Hopefully a second volume will appear so that we can see just how the scatterbrained, head-over heels in love pair adapt to married life and the loss of the Bumstead fortune.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The beginningBy Brett BydairkThe first year of this perennial favorite, it tells the story of Blondie, a gold-digger in the Roaring Twenties. Since it is about Blondie, and her many beaus, Dagwood Bumstead does not appear in the strip for weeks at a time. The year culminates with their wedding, in spire of Dagwood's father's threat to disinherit the playboy.The art is not what current readers of the strip might expect, but strips like this were still in their infancy.An historical record well worth your time and money. Celebrating Blondie's 80th anniversary, IDW's Library of American Comics presents Blondie like you've never seen her before! This book collects the early strips by Chic Young for the first time ever, beginning with the first ones from October 1930.

Raymond apprenticed with Chic Young on Blondie, and Lymon Young on Tim Tyler's Luck. The year 1934 was a major turning point in his career: he illustrated X- 9, a new detective comic strip written by Dashiell Hammett, and then created Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim. Rip Kirby, created in 1946, signaled a grand departure, both thematically and artistically, from the science fiction classic. He promulgated a new art style--one of cinematic photo-realism--that influenced such artists as Stan Drake, Leonard Starr, Al Williamson, and Neal Adams. Great art, good printing IDW produced another great book, beautifully crafted, with an interesting essay on Alex Raymond and Rip Kirby. Every effort was made to find the best sources for the dailies: it's a pity that they are not - apparently - syndicated proofs; very few are from original art (the first week and some others); the bulk is made of pretty good reproductions, some from second generation sources; some are not so good... I wonder: where are the KFS proofs?Forgive my English Five Stars Presenting the first volume of Alex Raymond's modernist classic Rip Kirby from its start in 1946. Created by Alex Raymond when he was deactivated from the Marines after World War II, Rip Kirby was a fresh approach to the genre, a departure from the prevailing hard-boiled style of detective fiction.

In the meantime, my research revealed that more than a few cartoonists from Barks’s generation had taken the Landon course.

  • Editor & Publisher International Year Books
    Content Survey & Selective Index For Editor & Publisher International Year Books *1929-1949 Compiled by Gary M. Johnson Reference Librarian Newspaper & Current Periodical Room Serial & Government Publications Division Library of Congress 2013 This survey of the contents of the 1929-1949 Editor & Publisher International Year Books consists of two parts: a page-by-page selective transcription of the material in the Year Books and a selective index to the contents (topics, names, and titles) of the Year Books. The purpose of this document is to inform researchers about the contents of the E&P Year Books in order to help them determine if the Year Books will be useful in their work. Secondly, creating this document has helped me, a reference librarian in the Newspaper & Current Periodical Room at the Library of Congress, to learn about the Year Books so that I can provide better service to researchers. The transcript was created by examining the Year Books and recording the items on each page in page number order. Advertisements for individual newspapers and specific companies involved in the mechanical aspects of newspaper operations were not recorded in the transcript of contents or added to the index. The index (beginning on page 33) attempts to provide access to E&P Year Books by topics, names, and titles of columns, comic strips, etc., which appeared on the pages of the Year Books or were mentioned in syndicate and feature service ads. The headings are followed by references to the years and page numbers on which the heading appears. The individual Year Books have detailed indexes to their contents.
