On October 1, 1995 the USA issued a sheet of 20 different, 32c "Comic Strip Classics" stamps showing scenes and characters from some of the country's best newspaper "funnies". Two of these stamps depict three characters. Top stamp depicts George McManus's (1884-1954) Bringing Up Father, also known as Maggie and Jiggs. This comic strip first began in 1911 and it focuses on a nouveau riche immigrant family. Bottom stamp shows Chic Young's (1901-1973) Blondie. It first appeared in 1930 and involves the Bumstead family (Dagwood and Blondie, Their two children, and dogs). Blondie is the level-headed one; Dagwood is always running late for work (hence, running into mailman) or fixing a "Dagwood" (colossal) sandwich.   |
