Blondie was a flapper once, wasn't she?

Yes she was. It was retconned from a flapper to a go-go dancer in the 60's. Then it was retconned yet again from a go-go dancer to a video dancer (MTV) in the mid 90's.

Just Kidding

I seem to remember during JB's run on FF when Reed and Sue opted to try secret identities, their neighbors were Hi and Lois, and a few other comic strip characters like Dagwood Bumstead were at their housewarming party.

Speaking of Blondie, this strip made me chuckle (can you spot why?).

Does the Phantom ever get goosebumps?

The fact that the Phantom is forbidden to show his face since 1492 doesn't mean that he can't show his body.

Yup, and Dagwood came from a wealthy family. He was disowned when he married Blondie and it was never mentioned again. (Mentioned this before I read the above posted strip from 1931)

That's about as daring a Beetle Bailey strip as I've ever seen. When is it from?
