Dagwood and Blondie getting to know neighbors on comics page

She was the Paris Hilton of the funny pages – a flighty flapper called Blondie Boopadoop with a short skirt, a cute curl and a passion for her millionaire beau.

He was Dagwood Bumstead – not the harried suburbanite we know today, but a rich playboy so in love with Blondie that he defied his wealthy father and gave up a fortune to marry her in 1933, right there in the comics at the height of the Depression.

Now, 75 years after the strip was born on Sept. 8, 1930, Blondie and Dagwood are planning what the strip’s syndicate is calling “the biggest party in the history of the funny pages.”

Beginning today, “Blondie” will launch a three-month crossover with some of the best-known comic strips in newspapers. Almost two dozen characters, from “Beetle Bailey” to “Garfield” to “Dick Tracy” to the “Wizard of Id,” will meet the Bumsteads in their strips – a collegial tribute rare in the competitive world of newspaper comics.

“Reading ‘Blondie’ is like breathing,” says Mort Walker, creator of “Beetle Bailey.” “Everyone relates to Dagwood and his desire to take naps or make a sandwich. It’s just a part of life.”

In Walker’s strip, Blondie phones Beetle looking for Dagwood, who’s playing cards on the Army base. “She’s been calling all the other comic strips for two hours,” Dagwood says.

Over at “Hagar the Horrible,” the gruff Viking is excited to be invited to the Bumsteads: “I love their sandwiches!”

And “Garfield” is told thought-balloon lettering “will be provided” if he attends the Bumstead gala. “Yesss! I won’t even have to think,” the fat cat says.

Such funny-page jams have happened a few times before: Cartoonists turned their strips over to tributes after 9/11 and when “Peanuts” creator Charles M. Schulz died in 2000.
