-Description: This is the original artwork for the daily comic strip BLONDIE by Chic Young and Jim Raymond.  Blondie is the greatest 'married life' comic strip of the twentieth century.  The strip pokes gentle fun at the trials and tribulations of Dagwood Bumstead.  Blondie, his wife, was originally a bit of a ditz, but she grew into a smart manager of the Bumstead household as well as her own business.  In this daily, Dagwood is sick in bed and neighbor Herb comes to cheer him up, bearing soup.  You've got to question Herb's motives.  Dagwood has a sour look on his face as he watches Herb eat the clam chowder.  A cute gag well rendered by Young and Raymond.  BSB
