Is it a concidence that the tryant of the comic- Dagwood's Father J.B. Bumstead -has a resembalance to Dagwood boss J.C. Dithers? Is it also concidence that Dagwood's mother has a resembalance to Cora-J.C. Dithers wife?

I don't think so. They were probably characters that Chic Young thought would work fine, again惑乱分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 23:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Extra "category" item at top of page?[edit]

Currently, the words "Category:Fictional characters in comics|" (note the pipe character at the end) appear at the top of this article. I can't figure out how to get rid of them. The article does contain a correctly formatted Category element, which works correctly; but even if I remove that element, the broken Category line appears at the top of the article. I can't figure out where it's coming from. Is the infobox broken? Not sure. Can someone who knows what they're doing fix this? --Elysdir (talk) 05:52, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup[edit]

I just did a general cleanup pass on this article; the previous version had some redundancy and was full of awkward and clunky phrasing, and freely mixed material from the 1930s with the current modern version of the strip. There was one phrase that I removed because I didn't know what it meant: "in a wedding that was on the top front of the comics one Sunday morning." I was going to rephrase that to say that it was on top of the front page of the Sunday comics, but surely different newspapers ran the comics pages in different orders? Did every comics section in the country run the Blondie wedding at the top of the front page that Sunday? Even if so, that statement would need a cite. So I just deleted it, but if anyone knows what it was intended to convey, feel free to reinstate an improved (and cited) version of it. --Elysdir (talk) 05:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong date comic reference Garfield[edit]

Not sure how to edit the date referred to in the article, but just for the record, the date the 'mixed comic' Dagwood/Garfield was published was April 1st 1997, not 1994. 94.226.212.18 (talk) 12:28, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reinhilde Zelck, 13/07/2011[reply]

Appearances in other media[edit]

Why does "Trade Magazine Covers" link to the entry for Datamation magazine? Why are the words "Trade," "Magazine," and "Covers" capitalized? Why would Dagwood having appeared on trade magazine covers be noteworthy (at least without examples) anyway? And has he never appeared on general readership magazines? Very curious. Absent any comment on this may return and delete the entire clause about trade magazine covers. Kcor53 (talk) 15:33, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
